WOMAN ‘DIED’ GIVING BIRTH TO HER SON DUE TO HER 19ST FRAME SO SHE LOST 8ST 13LBS AND NOW SHE’S A SIZE 8-10
At 19st and eight months pregnant, Ashley Whitfield, went into hospital to have her baby son, Isaac, delivered by emergency C-section. But she had no idea she’d end up ‘dying’ on the operating table. It wasn’t until three weeks later, when she was recovering from birth, that her hospital notes revealed she’d haemorrhaged and stopped breathing -with medics performing CPR to bring her back around. The near-death experience gave Ashley, 32, from Wigan, Manchester, the wake -up call she needed to lose weight and get healthy. Since then, the mum-of-two has lost an impressive 8st 13lbs, weighing 10st 1lbs.
