A mother-of-three - who was hospitalised 28 times during one pregnancy and found out she was carrying twins soon after being sick with Covid - has urged others in their 30s to 'reconsider' if they want children.
Samantha Armitage, 34, of Leeds, admits she misses her pre-pregnancy figure and going on holidays with her eldest son, 12, having 'given up much of her life' to care for her young twins, who were born last year. She gave birth nine weeks early - to Elijah, 2lbs 7oz and Zendaya, 3lb 1oz at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport on February 28, 2022 - and suffered severe morning sickness which left her vomiting 20 to 30 times per day.
