They were discussing how much weight gain is healthy following calls to issue guidelines to expectant mothers to help them manage how many pounds they pile on.

Dr Chris said that for women who are not considered obese, the maximum weight gain during pregnancy should be 2.7 stone.

Holly, 37, then admitted she put on much more than that during each of her pregnancies, revealing she piled on three stone every time.

She said: "I was never weighed [by anyone at the antenatal clinic].
