Parenthood is a huge adventure for anyone.
Having a human being that is so dependent on you is one of the most terrifying and rewarding things that can happen to you.
And Christine Lampard articulated just that when she appeared on Loose Women.
Christine welcomed her first child, daughter Patricia with her husband Frank Lampard in September 2018.
She is also a stepmother to husband Frank's two daughters - 12-year-old Luna 11-year-old Isla.
Christine spoke about how, when it comes to how men and women do things, she has seen things very differently since her baby was born.
She said, ''Since having the wee baby, I do almost a social experiment every time I go out, and there have been so many women who can't wait to run on past. But so many men have helped and held the door open for me."
She continued, ''I mortify Frank as I have got quite cheeky, when someone just storms on through I shout out 'thank you, you're welcome!' I get so much satisfaction out of that."
Christine was back on talk show panel after her maternity leave.
She revealed how she felt when she was handed her baby for the first time.
She said, ''I was a complete mess I was sort of fine up until the moment the doctor said, 'You're about to become a mummy,' I just said, 'Oh my god.'"
She continued, ''It just gets me every time, and I think, 'Oh my gosh I really am,' and that was me."
When it comes to choosing Patricia as the name, she spoke about her reasons.
She revealed that she had been named after Frank's late mum, Pat, who passed away in 2008 after losing her battle with pneumonia.
She said, ''We have gone with the traditional grandmother name. Pat was Frank's number one fan, and Charlotte was my grandmother's name.''
We think that's so sweet
