PREGOREXIC MUM GIVES BIRTH TO HEALTHY BABY
A mum who weighed just 8st 1lb at eight months pregnant has battled her eating disorder to give birth to a healthy baby girl. Holly Griffiths, 21, welcomed little Isla into the world just hours after Kate Middleton delivered her baby son George Alexander Louis. Despite being induced at 37 weeks, adorable Isla was born naturally, weighing a healthy 5lb 6oz. Relieved Holly said: “I'm so glad Isla was ok and there weren't any complications with the labour. I was terrified throughout the pregnancy that my body wouldn't be able to cope with the strain of carrying a baby as well as the damage I might be doing to her. But I'm so thankful she was born healthy and she is doing really well. She's an angel and I'm so lucky to be a mother again.” The mother-of-two has battled with an eating disorder since she was eight-years-old and was diagnosed with anorexia when she was 13.
