My Kitchen Rules 2013 winners Dan and Steph Mulheron reveal baby battle COOKING champions Dan and Steph Mulheron don't know the sex of their unborn child yet but they know the baby is a fighter. Steph has revealed that only six weeks after achieving her dream of falling pregnant, she was given devastating news. "We had the first scan and the baby's heart was beating at 60 beats a minute which is not great," said Steph. We were told there was a 90 per cent chance of miscarriage. We were very devastated. Fearing the worst, the My Kitchen Rules 2013 winners opted to stay positive and "get on with life as normal." "One week later we had another scan and the baby's heart was 140 beats a minute which is great," said Steph. "And we thought, "Wow, we have a fighter on our hands."" The road to parenthood for Dan and Steph has been paved with heartache. Desperate to start a family the couple spent almost $20,000 on IVF before running out of money. They entered MKR with the sole purpose of winning the cash to devote to "endless cycles of IVF." With the $250,000 prize money in the bag, they opened EAT at Dan & Steph's on The Esplanade in their home town of Hervey Bay. Then in June this year, they set aside time to complete more IVF but this time with the City Fertility Centre in Brisbane.

Dr Julie Lindstrom discovered Steph had blocked fallopian tubes, booked her in for surgery and dosed her with the right drugs and hormones. "We fell pregnant the first go," said Steph. We had never done a home pregnancy test before that had come up with two solid lines, and we'd been through a lot of kits. We were so over the moon.

They expect to learn the sex of their child this month. Steph said she was looking forward to seeing Dan hold his firstborn child. "The biggest moment for me will be when Dan meets the little one and the look they will give each other will melt my heart," she said.
