Mum-of-four Jamelia Says ‘You’re Never Prepared for Motherhood’
Amelia says being a mother is her “favourite responsibility and role” as she prepares to spend Mother’s Day with her four children.
The former Loose Women panelist, 42, said she believes there is “never the right time to have a child” but that she feels “so blessed” to have her daughters.
Jamelia gave birth to their fourth daughter, Jream, at the age of 36 weeks via an emergency c-section in October.
Shortly after, she described the labor as “incredibly traumatic.”
But speaking to the Daily Mirror ahead of Mothering Sunday, she said it was “such an honor to be a mother of four daughters”.
“I was pregnant for the first time as a 19-year-old, 25 when I had my second, third daughter, I was 36, then I had my last daughter at 41, so I’ve had a baby for most of the decades of my life,” she said called her.
“What I have learned is that there is never a right time to have a child. You are never prepared and will never just float through.
“Being a mom is my favorite responsibility and role. It is an honor to be the mother of four daughters and I feel so blessed.”
After Jream was born, Jamelia told Hello! Magazine: “I’d only ever seen one cesarean on TV and I thought, ‘Well, at least it’s going to be easy and I’ll be out in five minutes.’
“There’s this idea of ’too noble to push’ – that it’s the easier option. But I found it incredibly traumatic. And then recover from major surgery while caring for a newborn.”
Jamelia will join the cast of Hollyoaks next Monday as doctor Sharon Bailey in a special Mother’s Day themed episode.
