A MUM has told how giving birth is a doddle when you do it without the dad.
Model Heather McCartney, 36, welcomed her second child last week after opting to use a sperm donor.
The single parent received stick from men who branded her desperate because she wouldn’t entertain a new relationship.
But Heather, who left Ayrshire for Australia, was ecstatic as she welcomed her daughter exactly a decade after she beat cancer.
She said: “I had a planned C-section and no partner there.
“But my mum came all the way from Scotland to be with me, which made all the difference.
“Having a team of supportive women around, including the medical staff, felt really empowering and reassuring.
“I’m glad I did it that way—it felt right for me.
“As for offers to be the dad, I’ve had a few messages.
“But I’m just taking things as they come and enjoying this new chapter.”
Heather decided to put on make-up and give herself a glam look so she could take some special selfies after giving birth.
She received lots of compliments afterwards from folk who thought she looked incredible considering what she’d just endured.
The blonde pin-up added: “My C-section was calm and smooth.
“So I felt pretty relaxed afterward. People mentioned I was glowing, which was really kind.
“But honestly, I was just happy everything went well.
“Feeling sexy wasn’t really on my mind yet—more like taking it one day at a time.
“People will always love a MILF, so I’m happy to embrace that with a smile.”
