It was a new relationship and we'd only been seeing each other for about 3 months so yeah people were surprised I mean I was surprised well as surprised as you can be but people were incredibly supportive once they knew I had made that decision and that I was wholeheartedly happy with the situation and was just gonna go for it. For Gil's dad the first couple of weeks were difficult but from day one he said that if I was going to have this baby then he would be 100 % be there are supportive and involved and he has honoured that so he has a great relationship with Gil. Everyone has been very supportive it's not like getting pregnant at fifteen or sixteen and all your friends are doing something else, well I guess there is always something like that to some extent but people are a lot more settled now it's not like all your friends are out clubbing and you're at home, all my friends have mutual interests so I've been very lucky.
People were surprised about my pregnancy- and so was I
