'I have never wanted a baby. Yesterday, my dream came true': Woman, 30, is sterilised on the NHS - and she says 'to hell with the trolls'

Holly Brockwell (centre), 30, unleashed a storm when she asked doctors to sterilise her - but yesterday, after a four-year battle in the public eye, she had her operation at St Thomas' Hospital (left) in London. 


Here, she describes her passionate and honest account of that fight, one that many will find controversial - but one which everyone must read. She reveals how she was 'patronised, ignored, harassed, judged and demonised' over the last four years. Ms Brockwell said she wants 'the freedom to pursue the things that are important to me' and 'the energy to be a good partner' to her boyfriend, Zack (right).
