'My doctor was actually planning to induce me at 37 weeks, which is not far from 33, but the pre-eclampsia meant they had to get her out earlier.'

Monica said she is determined to ensure her daughter has a far healthier lifestyle and doesn't make the same mistakes she did.

She said: 'We will definitely not be funnel-feeding her, that's for sure! When she's eating solid food, we are only going to give her healthy things.

'Maybe at Halloween if she goes trick-or-treating then we'll let her have a candy or two, but we want to get her hooked on fruits and veggies while she's young.'

But while her past fast food binges caused her to swell, Monica says she does not regret her past.
