'It'd become quite serious and quite scary. I think I basically just put a poker face on because I didn't want her to see me crumble.'
Not only did she wow the world this year in the Euros, but Man City footballer and England Lioness Demi Stokes has also become a mum this year to baby Harlen with her partner Katie.
When they finally got pregnant, Katie found the pregnancy fine until those final weeks before Harlens' early arrival. "I didn't actually get to see the birth because of the sheet in the delivery room, it didn't come down because of complications and they had to be really quick with what they were doing. But once I heard the cry, mum mode kicked in and I was on a high. I was able to give him his first hug which was really nice."
Those few days on the neonatal unit felt rather surreal for Demi, and looking after both Katie and Harlen was difficult.
