A stunned couple whose first child was born though a pioneering IVF technique are expecting their second baby after conceiving naturally.

Gemma and Simon Potter tried in vain to start a family for four years before becoming the first parents in the UK to have a child using a new IVF procedure.

But two years after the arrival of daughter Isabella, the couple were shocked to discover Mrs Potter was pregnant again - after a natural conception.

The new addition to the Potter family is due on Boxing Day.
