Woman who lost nine stone to fall pregnant and gave birth to a 1lbs 2oz baby 16 weeks early
A woman who lost nine stone to fall pregnant gave birth to a 1lbs 2oz baby 16 weeks early – so tiny he was dwarfed by his octopus toy.
Della Shiel, 32, had always dreamed of being a mum but decided to lose weight after struggling to conceive for a year.
She had a gastric bypass to lose nine stone and was delighted to fall pregnant with her partner Joe Morris, 31, a steel worker, in October 2022.
Della struggled with hyperemesis – severe morning sickness – throughout her pregnancy and went to Rotherham General Hospital, South Yorkshire, after a “gush” of blood in March 2023.
