3 degrees of motherhood

THREE students who all became pregnant while on the same course at the same university have graduated with flying colours.

Marie Hinds, 38, Claire Fulcher, 28, and Stacey Walters, 23, carried on studying while pregnant.

They won public health degrees at Sunderland University after time off to give birth in their second years. Marie got a first.

Lecturer Karen Carling said: “Marie, Claire and Stacey achieved so much ... with exceptional results”.
