Morbidly obese mum pregnant again despite her – and doctors’ – best efforts

But, in a case that had endlessly puzzled doctors, she got pregnant.

The New Yorker already had two kids with her husband, but the pair didn’t want a third, so Lorraine had the surgical procedure to – supposedly – ensure that.

“I got my Fallopian tubes tied about six years ago,” Lorraine told TLC’s Extraordinary Pregnancies .

“I told the doctor, ‘do what you’ve gotta do’, I’ve already got a boy and a girl I don’t need anymore.”

Some might call Lorraine’s pregnancy miraculous .

“I came to my mother’s house and I said ‘I think I need to get a pregnancy test,’” she explained, after noticing there was something wrong with her body.

Mum Tammy told the TV show that she didn’t think pregnancy was possible, but urged her daughter to check.

And the pregnancy test came back positive. Everyone was a little shocked.
