A mother of two looks permanently pregnant after she suffered a rare reaction from the birth control method she used.
The 27 year old mother of two, Cassie Edwards, has been left looking permanently pregnant after apparently suffering a rare reaction to a contraceptive coil.
The woman who is from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, has been forced to wear maternity clothes for the last six months after getting a coil fitted following the birth of her second child, Tyler.
She looks like she is carrying twins and is often asked by well-meaning passers-by when she is due to give birth.
The coil, also called an intrauterine device (IUD), is a small T-shaped plastic and copper contraceptive.
It is inserted into a woman's womb by a specially-trained doctor or nurse. It can prevent pregnancy for five to 10 years.
