Charlotte Dawson has candidly shared that she might "could give birth" on stage as she opens up about the "struggles" of her third pregnancy. The 32-year-old, who is expecting a daughter, has found this pregnancy to be tougher than her previous ones with sons Noah and Jude, facing increased sickness but remains determined to "get on with it".
Despite anticipating new "challenges" in raising a girl, Charlotte is thrilled at the prospect, having "always wanted a little princess". She's even planning to feature her baby girl in her TikTok videos, which humorously depict her family life.
In an interview with the Manchester Evening News, she expressed her excitement: "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."
She anticipates the unique challenges a daughter may bring, especially if she takes after her mother: "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."
Her son Noah, currently her "little TikTok buddy", might have to adjust to not being the only child in the spotlight: "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.", reports the Manchester Evening News.
Charlotte still sees her youngest as a baby and finds his reactions to her pregnancy adorable: "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 is expertly balancing her pregnancy with the busy run-up to panto season, as she preps for her role in Aladdin at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It's not her first rodeo performing while expecting.
She explained: "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.
"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.
"It's been one of those pregnancies where I've had to just get one 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.
"I've got no bum you see, I'm the wrong way round."

Stats provided by the company indicate that over two million kids might face a present-less Christmas.
Hence, Hungry Horse has set its sights on amassing 20,000 toy donations to make a positive impact this year.
Charlotte expressed her views on the festive season, saying: "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 also shared her concern for those less fortunate during this time of year: "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."
For those looking to spread some holiday cheer, Charlotte encourages donations of new or gently used toys at any Hungry Horse pub by the 19th December. Further details can be found at: https://www.hungryhorse.co.uk/christmas/toy-station-donation.
