Amanda Mammadova was diagnosed with HIV in 2010 - three months after meeting her now husband Ali, 29.
The virus was passed on unknowingly by her ex-partner.
They married eight months later and decided they wanted to try for a baby.
34-year-old said she tried to persuade her husband to opt for insemination.
But he wanted the couple to conceive naturally, despite the risk.
Mrs Mammadova's viral load - the amount of HIV in her blood - is very low.
It means there is a very low risk of passing the virus through sex.
She doesn't need anti-viral medication yet, but has regular check-ups.
She is pregnant with the couple's second baby - who is due in June.
Their daughter Saabria is HIV negative as is Mr Mammadova.
At 20 weeks' pregnant Mrs Mammadova will start to take anti-viral medication to help reduce the chance of passing the virus to her baby.

THOSE INFECTED WITH HIV IN UK AT ALL-TIME HIGH BUT TREATMENT MEANS SUFFERERS CAN EXPECT TO LIVE NORMAL LIVES
HIV is a virus that attacks the body's immune system - the body's defence against diseases.
Figures published this week revealed the number of people infected with the virus in the UK has reach an all-time high.
Nearly 110,000 are living with the condition, but around a quarter are unaware they have it.
Recent research has found that between 70 and 90 per cent of people may experience symptoms of infection a few days after they have been infected.
A fever, rash and severe sore throat should always be considered a potential indicator of HIV.
The symptoms usually disappear within two to three weeks.
A person described as living with HIV means they have HIV in their body.

A person is considered to have developed AIDS when the immune system is so weak it can no longer fight off a range of diseases, which it would normally cope with.
There is currently no cure for HIV. But those with the virus receiving treatment can live a healthy, active life.
If the virus is diagnosed late, treatment may be less effective in preventing AIDs.
Those who are diagnosed early and respond to treatment can be healthy, work, and have relationships like anyone else.
HIV treatment was transformed in 1996 with the introduction of Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART).
It means a person diagnosed in time and who adheres to their medication can, in the vast majority of cases, manage their health condition and look forward to a near normal life expectancy.
ART can cause some side-effects including fatigue, depression and diarrhoea, though they are increasingly well-managed.
How is HIV passed on?
The virus can be passed on through infected blood, semen, vaginal fluids or breast milk.
HIV is most commonly passed on during:
sex without a condom with someone living with HIV
sharing infected needles, syringes and other injecting drug equipment
from an HIV-positive mother (to her child) during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding - if the right steps to prevent infection are not taken
Can women living with HIV still have a baby?
HIV can be passed from mother to child, but there are steps that can be taken to reduce the possibility of the child contracting HIV to less than one per cent.
They include the mother taking anti-retroviral drugs while pregnant, delivering the baby via Caesarean section and not breastfeeding the baby.
