  1. Absolutely horrified. I was only 18 and told by the doctor I was 5 months' pregnant - I had absolutely no idea until that point!! I still had periods and I only went to the doctor because I'd started to show and wondered why I was putting on so much weight! I was absolutely scared out of my wits at the time, quite traumatised in fact.”
