Binky Felstead reveals she 'lost a lot of friends' after falling pregnant with ... trends now
Binky Felstead has revealed she 'lost a lot of friends' after falling pregnant with her first child when she was 26.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, told MailOnline 'people didn't want to know me' once she had given birth to her five-year-old daughter India and she would stay at home 'breastfeeding' while the rest of her friendship group partied.
In an exclusive interview, the TV personality, who's expecting her third child after also welcoming son Wolfie in 2021, described the past few years as 'hardcore' and admitted to needing therapy as a result of the intense period.
'People didn't want to know me': Binky Felstead has revealed she 'lost a lot of friends' after falling pregnant with her first child when she was 26
She said: 'Having India at 26, I was the first in my friends to get pregnant and I literally knew nothing or knew no one in the same position so I lost a lot of friends.
'People didn't want to know me because I was at home breastfeeding when they were getting ready to go clubbing with their heels on and I couldn't think of anything worse.'
Binky, who married husband Max Darnton earlier this year, reflected on the challenges of becoming a mum for the first time while writing her new book The Making of You, which is released in February, and said she hopes readers will find solace in her experiences.
She added: 'It will hopefully help a lot of people… there are some sad bits in there as well. I cried on a few occasions.
'It's an advice book but has my story in there and I get thousands of people asking me most of the time about how I cope with co-parenting, how I introduced India to Max, asking about miscarriage, so I have things from my story.
'It has been pretty hardcore': Binky explained that she would stay at home 'breastfeeding' while the rest of her friendship group partied, which caused her to become isolated
'It was a form a therapy and I feel like I still need to process a lot of things that have happened over the last few years. It has been pretty hardcore.
'Yes, I am only 32 but God I've been through a lot for a 32-year-old. Thinking about it I need to do some serious processing and should do some therapy… thank God for Max basically and for my friends. I definitely feel like I owe them.'
Binky shares daughter India with former Made In Chelsea co-star Josh Patterson and the pair co-parent after splitting in 2018 and announcing they were heading in 'different paths' and needed to 'give each other the space to grow.'
A year after marrying in a civil ceremony at Chelsea's Old Town Hall, Binky and Max, who is the father of Wolfie and their unborn child, hosted a second wedding in Corfu this summer surrounded by 100 family and friends.
In November, the couple announced they're expecting again, with Binky saying she isn't 'daunted' by the prospect of being a mum-of-three.
