I got pregnant after a one-night stand & now have to co-parent with a stranger… it’s not how I imagined being a mum

A SINGLE mum has told how she fell pregnant after a night-one stand and now was to co-parent with ''a stranger''. According to mum Beth, this is not how she had thought her motherhood would be like - but despite having a child with someone she had slept following a night-out during university, she wouldn't have it any other way and was ''so thankful'' for her son, Oliver.

The student, who had the one-night stand with ''a friend of a friend'', went back to her studies at five weeks postpartum after what she described a ''traumatic birth''. Although this was a challenging time in her life, Beth said she was determined to show the little baby the importance ''to never give up''.

With maternity leave coming to an end, Beth had no idea how she was ''going to juggle being a single mum to a baby, full-time at uni and working enough hours'' to support herself and her newborn son Oliver. Despite being essentially strangers who had sex with one another, Beth insisted that she and the father of the child have managed to get themselves ''into a pretty good rhythm of learning how to co-parent together''.
''We are pretty open at talking about how we're feeling and things we want for Oliver,'' the singleton shared to her 73k followers on TikTok. ''We are only human, so at some point I am sure we will argue or not agree on something,'' the mum said, adding that there have been times in the past where the two have disagreed.
