“Well I’m not pregnant anymore!”

Back in September musician Paloma Faith announced that she was pregnant after a long battle with IVF.

Exhausted, sore and my nipples are on fire with a baby piranha that wants to kill me
On them every few hours but I am of course elated!

This baby couldn’t be more loved or wanted if she tried (yes I have two gals).

Lost a litre of blood and I’m in so much pain despite the pain killers.
