How to have a baby
How I did it: My pregnancy caught me very much by surprise, as I was on birth control pills at the time. But after freaking out initially, I embraced the fact that I was about to become a mother. My daughter has changed my life so much, all in positive ways.
I am no longer involved with her father and he wasn't around for the pregnancy, which was hard at first, but I got through it. He sees her a few times a week, but I still feel like I have a really special bond with her - it feels like it's me and her against the world.
I always wanted to be a mum, and the reality is turning out to be even better than the dream.
Lessons & tips: Get into shape before trying to conceive. I would've had a much easier pregnancy if I hadn't been overweight when I conceived.
