'Supermum' with seven boys under seven who has to change 175 nappies a week

A supermum who has seven sons under the age of seven said she hopes to further grow her family with another set of twins. Jo-anne Ellis gets through 175 nappies each week and needs to do three loads of laundry every day.

She lives in Baildon, Yorkshire, with her partner Charles and despite a hectic family life, the 30-year-old relishes the joys of motherhood. After having an ovary removed ten years ago, Jo-anne, who had dreamed of a big family, was warned she might not be able to conceive, reports YorkshireLive.

But seven years ago she welcomed her first child, Charlie before she got pregnant with another boy, Thomas, who she ­tragically lost at 36 weeks. When she got pregnant for the third time, she was told she was carrying twins.
