Filming a video of herself cleaning the house, Becky revealed that she began a relationship with her older kids' father when she was just 16 years old.
She explained that the couple were together for four years, and that she fell pregnant with her son Grayson, when she was 17.
"It was unexpected, but it happened", she said.
Just over a year later, Becky planned to have a second child, and said that she became pregnant very quickly.
However, sadly, her second child was still born.
Two months after this, when Becky was 19, she fell pregnant again, and gave birth to a little boy named husband.
However, she said that things weren't "smooth sailing" between her and her ex-partner, and they ended up breaking up when Hudson was just a few weeks old.
A few months after giving birth, Becky revealed that she "unexpectedly" met her current partner.
The couple have now been together for two years, and Becky is currently pregnant with another little boy.
Becky revealed that he wasn't planned, and she had actually been taking Mounjaro when she became pregnant for the fourth time.
I hated being a mum...My mind was telling me to kill my baby
"I'd just lost three and a half stone, and was enjoying being "skinny for the summer", she said.
However, despite her new baby being unexpected, Becky revealed that she "wouldn't change anything for the world."
Some women have reported becoming unexpectedly pregnant after taking weight loss drugs, leading to claims of an " Ozempic baby boom".
However, women are urged not to take the drug whilst trying for a baby, as it could lead to possible birth defects.

Call to halt Cleckheaton building work over asbestos fears
Residents are urging a council and developers to stop construction work after asbestos dust was found in their started several months ago on 180 homes in Cleckheaton but people living nearby have raised concerns about the quantity of dust created by the works, and its developer, Strata Homes, said the work was being carried out safely and in line with Council said it had carried out 19 monitoring visits in recent months and was in regular dialogue with the developer and residents. Resident Tracy Weaver said living near the development was "like living in a dystopian nightmare".She said: "There have been people who now need inhalers. Four of us [on the same street] have been referred to the hospital for a chest X-ray to be on the safe side. We can't get a deep breath. I can't go a whole day without an inhaler."Another resident, who did not want to be named, said the site was not made safe before building said: "Now they're planning pile driving, which will stir up even more of the material underground. We're scared for our health."The residents are crowdfunding in order to pursue legal action and have called for the construction to stop until independent testing and a review of safety measures is undertaken. In October 2023, planning permission was granted to allow Strata Homes to build on a plot of land off Westgate, then, the site has been taken on by affordable housing provider Thirteen Group with the construction being carried out by Strata Homes.A contamination report, submitted alongside the planning application in 2023, stated asbestos was among the materials present in parts of the said evidence suggested an "unknown quantity" of asbestos was dumped in one area, which had previously been home to a chemical works, but it had been filled over by a previous tenant.A remediation strategy was drawn up to set out how risks would be addressed and the start of the work, some residents have sent samples of the dust collecting in their homes to be analysed by asbestos specialist, Acorn. The Local Democracy Reporting Service said resulting documents from June and July of this year concerning five properties in the area, confirmed there was amosite, known as brown asbestos, present in the dust in two samples, and chrysotile, known as white asbestos, in three of the samples were taken from gardens and one from an inside Group said work on the site was being carried out in a "phased and controlled" manner and in "full compliance" with national executive Matt Forest said Kirklees Council and the Health and Safety Executive had found nothing of said: "We are aware of local residents' concerns and have sought assurances from the specialist contractor handling the remediation of the site."The contractor has confirmed work is progressing in a phased and controlled manner, in line with the remediation plan approved by Kirklees Council, and in full compliance with national regulations."A spokesperson for Kirklees Council said: "We understand the concerns residents have about the site and want to reassure them that we are taking them seriously."We have communicated with residents about the steps we are taking to keep them safe but it's clear to us that concerns remain."

The hair mistake that could be ruining your locks every time you shower – and almost everyone is guilty of it
STEPPING out of the shower after washing your hair, most of us will automatically reach for a comb. However, according to one expert has warned that brushing wet hair can cause permanent damage to your hair. 1 Dr. Roshan Vara from Treatment Rooms London explains that this common post-shower habit weakens hair structure at a molecular level, potentially leading to increased breakage and thinning over time. "Wet hair has a lot of physical differences from hair when it's dry, and that can affect its ability to handle stress from brushing,' Dr Vara warns. 'Water affects the hair shaft, and as a result, it experiences stretches in the cuticle because of swelling, and that leads to breakage due to the strain.' Hair researchers have found that wet hair can stretch more than dry hair before breaking, but this apparent elasticity is misleading. "Wet hair causes stretching, which damages the protein structure, leading to weaker hair over time," Dr Vara explains. Wide-tooth combs should be used instead of brushes for wet hair. "If you haven't brushed your hair before you wet it, don't use a standard brush; use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends and work your way up. Never start brushing from the roots when hair is wet - you must avoid doing this to prevent damage," Dr Vara adds. According to Dr Vara, styling techniques that combine wetness and heat exacerbate the damage. "Using a hairdryer on soaking wet hair is particularly damaging, even if many may do that without even thinking,' Dr Vara adds. 'The speed at which water is removed from the hair shaft can cause a rupturing effect which pushes out the cuticle and leads to hair falling out, as it isn't as strong as it needs to be." Can £39 viral split ends cutter replace hairdresser The protection of the hair cuticle continues its decline as a result of aggressive brushing on wet hair. Fine hair and chemically treated hair – whether colored, permed, or relaxed – are especially susceptible to wet brushing damage because their protein structure is already altered. Hair Loss 101 HAIR pro Samantha Cusick has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss. Why Does Hair Loss Happen? Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices. Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength. It's perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors. Why It Happens More This Time of Year Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That's seasonal shedding! During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun. As the weather cools, it's like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands. Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months. Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss The great news? You don't need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair. Try daily scalp massages—they're so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles. Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that's rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands. Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health. Products to Avoid Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens - they can be drying and damage hair over time. Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly. Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.

The teenager who set up a diabetes charity at primary school
Since he set up a charity to help diabetics Lochlan Murdoch's journey taken him to classrooms across the country - and even to 10 Downing well as meeting the then Prime Minister Theresa May the 16-year-old, from Cumnock, has been honoured with a British Services Citizen Award for services to the Lochlan, who launched his charity while still at primary school, is even prouder of something else, beyond the told BBC Scotland News: "We've done stuff in schools and hearing some of them say they think I'm cool, and just helping them acknowledge they can do things despite being diabetic - that's really big". Lochlan was only a week into primary school when he started experiencing a number of health was thirsty all the time, continually tired and needed the toilet much more than usual. His mother Lesley and father Scott wondered if it was because of warm weather, or maybe anxiety about starting the problems persisted, and the truth soon emerged - Lochlan was a type1 diabetic, meaning his pancreas was not producing recalls: "We handed a sample of his urine in at the surgery and within 20 minutes we were on our way to A & E, where the diabetes team were waiting on us."His blood sugar levels were through the roof." The condition means that Lochlan has to rely on other ways of taking insulin, whether through pumps - which he is now on - or manually injecting it into himself with needles, through an insulin pen there are other aspects too, from constantly monitoring levels via finger prick tests to checking what food could send levels rocketing upwards.A 2023 survey found around 36,000 Scots have the in those early years, thoughts of helping others with the condition were far from Lesley and Lochlan's minds, as they tried to adjust to a major change. "It can be a lot of pressure on your shoulders as a parent," says Lesley. "You're monitoring their blood sugars all the time, and there's a fear when you put them to bed they'll have a hypo [a sudden drop in blood sugar levels] and won't wake up."Lesley also noticed that there was a lack of knowledge about type 1 diabetes among people she included some conflating it with type 2 diabetes - a version of the condition that can often be handled through diet rather than injections."It can be quite challenging to bite your tongue sometimes," she says."When you're a parent and you're hearing things like 'did he eat too many sweeties' or 'it could be worse, it could be something like cancer' - you wouldn't say that to someone with another condition. "The big thing for me is trying to reduce that stigma. "For example, taking part in football and exercising does help type 1 diabetics, but it's nothing to do with losing weight, which you'll often hear people assume." 'You have to trust a new person to look after you' The way Lesley and Lochlan aim to reduce stigma is through Lochlan's charity has its roots in an incident that changed Lochlan's life for a second 2018 the football-daft youngster broke his leg while playing the sport with friends. Stuck indoors in what the teenager jokingly calls "the middle of nowhere", his mental health declined, something accelerated by his diabetes."When he went back to school after the summer, and you're type 1, it can be difficult", says Lesley. "You have a new teacher and you have to trust a new person that will look after you."He was doing that while recovering from a double leg break, and we noticed a decline in his personality and moods. "We thought he was either going to burst into tears or get angry at some point – luckily it was the first one, and a really good classroom assistant, Sarah Taylor, was there."She got him to talk. He was using parts of the diabetes to avoid doing stuff." One place he found an escape was going to see Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. That love of football helped turn his depression into something more positive, as Lochlan created a stadium marathon challenge for saw him walk around all 12 of the SPL's football grounds, plus Hampden Park and Townhead Park, the home of Cumnock raised over £10,000 for charity and earned him a trip to Downing there, another guest suggested to him that he keep going with helping by the time Lochlan's train had rolled back into Scotland, the charity idea was in bloom."We can't quite believe how far the charity has come," says Lesley."Our son allows us to tell the whole story, including the good, the bad and the ugly of diabetes – we don't hide the cracks." In recent years the charity has held information sessions, workshops and fun days, all aimed towards spreading awareness of diabetes and what it means.A number of athletes with type 1 diabetes, including Hibs defender Jack Iredale, Raith Rovers winger Paul McMullan and golfer Hannah McCook, serve as also offers a CPD accredited course in understanding diabetes for sports Lochlan's hard work has placed him on the shortlist for the BBC's Make a Difference awards, in the Active winners will be unveiled at a ceremony in Glasgow next month, with results then announced on BBC Radio Scotland's Mornings programme with Kaye Adams on 29 he wins in his category or not, for Lesley, the charity has been a massive benefit to Lochlan over the years."He's much more confident – he doesn't feel the need to hide this condition. "Type 1 diabetes has changed our lives completely, but in a lot of ways it has given us opportunities we would never have had otherwise. It doesn't stop you doing anything."
