"For three years, my body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant - I`ve either been about to go into an IVF cycle, in the middle of an IVF cycle or coming out of an IVF cycle," she wrote, according to People magazine.

Union and Wade got married in August 2014 after a lengthy courtship. This is their first child together. The basketball star has three sons from previous relationships - Zaire, Zion and Xavier.
