When Jo goes on a bus, people give up their seat for her and strangers stop to ask when her baby is due.

Aged 35 and appearing heavily pregnant, it’s easy to see why.

But the story behind Jo’s large stomach is more sinister – alcohol addiction.

Excessive drinking has caused her liver to become so damaged that fluid has built up in her abdomen.

Ascites.... I see it all the time at the hospital. Heavy drinkers get cirrhosis of the liver then aren't able to produce albumin which creates the leakage of fluid into other tissues. It also causes low levels of platelets were your more susceptible to bleeds. shyt is sad brehs
