 Hi, my name's Shannon. I'm 19 years old from High Wychham. My son is called Theodore and he is 18 months old. The reason I wanted to be on Team Mum UK is because I just wanted to show people that it's not all easy being a young mum. I watched the previous three series on Team Mum UK and I felt like I could relate to all of the mums on all of the situations that they have been through and that made me feel like I'm not alone in this. I have no idea how fans are going to react to me on Team Mum UK but I'm just hoping that they do like me. I think the other mums on the show will react to me just as well as I've reacted to them. I feel like they'll be able to understand a lot of my situations as I understand theirs. I have mixed emotions about people recognising me in public and being on TV. I'm really excited for it but I'm also quite nervous. My experience of being a Team Mum has been very, very up and down. Different to what I expected, when you're pregnant and it's your first child, you think that the baby's going to work around you when in reality you have to work around the baby. The biggest surprise of being a Team Mum is definitely how much I love Theodore. It sounds weird that I wouldn't, obviously I knew I'd love him to bits but it's just crazy how much I actually do love him. It really makes my heart hurt. My relationship with my baby's father before I had Theodore was still very rocky. We did use the biker a lot but probably not as much as we do now. My friends never had any negative thoughts about me being a Team Mum. They are just happy that I'm doing something that I'm happy doing. My biggest challenge is becoming a mum is definitely been dealing with all of the no sleep, the night feeds, all of that. That's something I really struggled with in the beginning and sometimes still struggle with now. My proudest moment so far has just been watching the way my son is developing very well. He's very clever. He's young. He can say his own name. He is literally the best thing. The one thing I wish I knew before coming a mum is that the baby weight doesn't just drop off. The best thing about being a Team Mum is that you get to meet your baby a little earlier than usual and spend a lot more time with them. The worst thing about being a Team Mum is watching your friends that don't have babies go out on the weekend while you're sitting at home. I would definitely like to have more kids in the future but I think right now I just need to stick with Theodore because he is enough.
