I thought I had Covid, but I was pregnant...

Claire Mcwhinnie had just returned home from Dublin when she began feeling unwell in September 2021.

The property developer, from Bolton, felt nauseous and likened her symptoms to a 'long hangover! Despite believing she had Covid, she decided to take a pregnancy test just to be sure.

To her disbelief, it turned out she didn't have the virus - she was expecting.

But Claire and her partner Geoff Hennefer, 44, were in for an even bigger surprise when they discovered Claire was pregnant with twins.

"I went for a scan and they said there were two heartbeats in there; I was shocked," Claire told the Manchester Evening News.
