The mothers who are going it alone

In the run up to Mother's Day, we'll be looking at the different modern approaches to motherhood - including the rise of single women having IVF in order to have the family they've always dreamed of before it's too late.

The number of single women choosing to have IVF has doubled over five years and one in 50 British newborns is an IVF baby.

Lorraine meets one mum who has gone it alone - 46-year-old Kimberlee Hanson. She's one of a growing number of professional women who haven't found Mr Right and have decided to go it alone using a sperm and egg donor. She is now a mother of a baby boy Leo.
