A woman refused IVF due to her weight fell pregnant naturally before giving birth to 2lbs 3oz baby 11 weeks early - so tiny he was dwarfed by his teddy. Penelope Taylor-Jones, 35, had been trying to conceive for more than five years before falling pregnant naturally.
Medics had warned her she must lose weight before being considered for NHS help with IVF. But despite her best attempts, Penelope - who was a size 20 - struggled to shed the pounds.
Penelope and her partner, Alan Taylor-Jones, 39, a motoring journalist, had almost ''given up hope'' when she was delighted to discover she had fallen pregnant naturally in February 2021. But despite being ''ecstatic about expecting'', Penelope developed serious morning sickness and struggled with her type one diabetes throughout.
