There is Lauren, aged 13, Calvin aged 11, Charlotte aged 1 and Finley aged 6 months.
I had Lauren and Calvin when I was 22 and 23 with their Dad whom I split from when Calvin was just 1 year old. Due to very bad pregnancies ( I am allergic to the pregnancy hormone! More on this to follow) I vowed never to have anymore and begged to be sterilised. The doctor would not allow this as I was only 23.
Skip forward to 2008, I had been with my current man for 3 years and discovered I was expecting Charlotte. Wow, big shock!! I had a great career at this time and was wondering how I would cope, fate intervened and although not ideal, I was made redundant on Christmas Eve whilst 20 weeks pregnant.
When Charlotte was 6 months old, I found out I was expecting Finley, wow wow, even bigger shock this time!
Each pregnancy was certianly interesting. I lost count of how many times I was hospitalised, but certainly around 50!
I had a huge baby, ventouse, emergency caesarean, 2 elective caesareans, a premature baby, severe anemia, 3 lots of steroid injections, constant medication, and a BBC film crew following me throughout 1 pregnancy!
I look at the photo above and know it was all worth it.
