Mum thrilled as 1lb twins go up the scales

The mother of identical twin girls who each weighed just over 1lb when they were born has told of her joy at seeing her baby daughters tip the scales at a stone.

Ivy Good and her twin, Johanna, survived against the odds when they were born prematurely at 27 weeks.

Little Jo went through brain surgery when she was just 2lb and again when she weighed 4lb — but she has defied medical expectations to become a bouncy, happy toddler.
