Favell’s big tummy made her go to the hospital for a test. When
pregnancy tests had shown she was not expecting, she thought she was
just piling on weight. But her bump kept growing bigger and made her
return to the hospital several times.After more pregnancy tests came
back negative her GP who was still convinced a baby was the only
explanation, referred her for an ultrasound scan. It was then that her
enormous bump was revealed to be an ovarian cyst weighing more than four
stone, the same weight as seven newborn babies.

28, had a five-hour operation to remove the growth, which she nicknamed
Mr Whippy.She said:I didn’t understand why until I came round and
everyone was treating me like a minor celebrity. They explained how big
this cyst was and showed me pictures – I couldn’t believe I’d been
walking around carrying this medical alien.It looked like a massive pile
of ice cream so I called it Mr Whippy!
