SAY WHAT?

Discovering that you’re pregnant is a life-changing experience for every woman, as these celebrity mums can attest…

“I was lucky that both pregnancies were good; I didn’t have mood swings or sickness. I got tired like everybody else, but thank goodness I was able to continue with my work – I really feel for women who have acute sickness.”

KATHERINE JENKINS, SINGER, AND MOTHER TO AALIYAH AND XANDER

“It was so amazing, and even though it’s a lot to handle emotionally, I loved watching my body go through all these changes and feeling my baby kick more and more. It reminded me every day what a miracle motherhood is.”

MILLIE MACKINTOSH, BEAUTY AND WELLNESS INFLUENCER, AND MOTHER TO SIENNA

“The first pregnancy with Buzz, I felt really womanly and incredible. The second one, I just felt alright, but then this third one, I actually felt really awful. I felt a lot heavier and less able…”

“Oh my goodness, there were tears! Lots and lots of happy tears. We had been trying for quite a while, and Jade and I were together when I found out, so we were just over the moon. Best feeling ever.”

EMMA BUNTON, SINGER TURNED RADIO PRESENTER, AND MOTHER TO BEAU AND TATE

“I had a relaxed approach to pregnancy – I took tablets for morning sickness and heartburn and they made my life so much better. Women can be so hard on themselves. I think it’s okay to get a little bit of help.”
