A woman who spent a decade trying to lose weight so she could have a baby is now a happy mum - after shedding 7st 5lbs. Jo Calver-Henshaw, 45, went through three miscarriages and was told by doctors her size was a contributing factor.
So she made it her mission to lose weight - and fell pregnant in September 2020 after losing more than 7st. Jo weighed 18st 3.5lbs at her heaviest. Now, at 10st 8lbs, she's the happy mum to little Alexandra, who was born in May 2021.
Jo, an administrator, said: "I definitely think losing the weight was a factor in having a successful pregnancy. I think keeping the weight off also helped me to maintain a successful pregnancy.
