Christine McGuinness' Pregnancy Struggles

Christine McGuiness spent over four years trying to conceive with husband Paddy McGuiness following her past battle with anorexia.

The reality star has opened up about her infertility struggle, which eventually ended in success as she is now mum to five-year-old twins Penelope and Leo and two-year-old Felicity.

Falling pregnant was difficult for the pair, however, after Christine spent 10 years in the grips of an eating disorder that had devastating affects on her menstrual cycle.

Speaking on Giovanna Fletcher's 'Happy Mum, Happy Baby' podcast tour, the 'Real Housewives of Cheshire' star explained: "It took me four years to get pregnant. I had anorexia for over 10 years as a child and through my teenage years. I went to see the doctor and he said that I wasn't ovulating and wasn't having periods and it took a while to regulate itself."

Once pregnant, Christine then struggled to accept her body image and felt uncomfortable looking at herself in the mirror as she had gained over 80lbs.

She added: "I hate admitting it by I barely took any photographs of that pregnancy because I wasn't comfortable with my size. At the time, I didn't like the way I looked."
