Charlotte Dawson has candidly opened up about the “struggles” of her third pregnancy, revealing she “could give birth” on stage.
The 32-year-old is expecting a baby girl and has shared that this pregnancy feels quite different from when she was carrying her sons Noah and Jude. Battling more sickness this time, Charlotte remains determined to “get on with it”.
She’s also excited about the “challenges” of raising a daughter but is thrilled at the prospect of having the little girl she’s always dreamed of. She is even keen to get her daughter involved in her TikToks, which offer a humorous insight into her family life, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Charlotte said: “I’ve got two boys and I’m having a baby girl, which I’m very excited about. I’ve always wanted a little princess so, as you could imagine, I am very happy about it.
“There’ll be different challenges, if she’s anything like me, Jesus. I can’t wait to dress my little princess and to do fun TikToks with her.
“Noah is like my little TikTok buddy at the moment, and he will be like ‘woah, I was here first’ when she comes along. It’s all exciting and the boys are so excited to have a little baby.
“My littlest one is still a baby in my eyes, it’s crazy really. He keeps pointing at my belly and saying ‘baba, baba’ it’s so cute.”
Charlotte, who is expecting her third child, is balancing her pregnancy with a busy schedule as she gears up for the Christmas pantomime season. She’s set to dazzle audiences in Aladdin at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, marking her second time performing while pregnant.
Reflecting on her experience, she shared: “I keep forgetting I’m pregnant and I keep getting this kick and I’m like ‘oh, I’m pregnant, it’s not just a gravy belly’. It’s a lot different to the boys and I feel a little bit more sick and stuff.”
She continued, “I’m doing pantomime and I’m constantly on the go at the moment. I probably won’t stop until I give birth to be honest – I could give birth on stage, god knows.”
Charlotte also expressed her mixed feelings about pregnancy, saying, “It’s been one of those pregnancies where I’ve had to just get on with it because I’m so busy. I don’t like being pregnant and I do like being pregnant at the same time, because I have such a weird physique, I love dressing my bump.”
She humorously added, “I’ve got no bum you see, I’m the wrong way round.”
Charlotte is also working with Hungry Horse to launch their annual toy donation campaign for a fourth straight year to support families this Christmas. Research from the brand has revealed that over two million children will go without a present this Christmas, with a target of 20,000 toy donations set by the Hungry Horse this year to make a difference.
Charlotte said: “Christmas is all about love, don’t get me wrong, presents are a bonus, but over the years it has become so materialistic and it is bad, because it’s all about the love, but Noah is four and he is at a brilliant age where it is so magical and all about Christmas and presents, and everything like that.”
She added with concern, “Just imagining those two million children not getting a Christmas present is so sad. And I think we really do need to make a difference and Hungry Horse is aiming to hit its 20,000th donation this year.”
