‘I wasn’t ready for pregnancy’ admits former Celebrity Big Brother star Courtney Stodden, 21
Reality star is "absolutely terrified" about becoming a mum
REALITY star Courtney Stodden has revealed she wasn't ready for motherhood - despite being two months pregnant.
The 21-year-old announced she was expecting her first baby with actor husband Doug Hutchison last month, five years after she tied the knot with the 56-year-old.
But Courtney admits the pregnancy wasn't planned and she would have liked to have waited until she was a bit older before becoming a mother.
She told : "This was strictly an 'oops' baby. I love children, but I really wasn't ready - I'm only 21.
"I love the little angel already, but I'm absolutely terrified. It's an overwhelming responsibility."
Courtney hasn't had the easiest of starts to her pregnancy, suffering from morning sickness, irritable bowel syndrome and prenatal depression.
She added: "I don't understand why they call it morning sickness, because it lasts all day.
"The doctors have given me [anti-anxiety drug] Xanax - a low dose - for the depression. But it's tough.
"I'm only a few weeks in and I'm already miserable."

Thankfully the star's Green Mile husband has been a pillar of strength to his young wife, and looked after her when she has been ill.
Courtney said: "Doug has been fabulous. He's been taking care of me so well. He gets sympathy morning sickness. It's funny. He's such a great husband, and he's like, 'I think you're sexier now.' And I'm like, 'I don't know how to take that. Do you want me to be all lumpy?'"
While Courtney has shown off her baby bump on social media and on the red carpet, she is already planning on getting her pre-pregnancy body back as soon as possible, and is even considering having her surgically enhanced worked on again.
She said: "I'll probably need new breasts after the birth."
Courtney rose to fame due to her controversial marriage to Doug back in 2011 when she was 16- years old and he was 50.
Just two years after the eyebrow-raising wedding, which led to Doug being branded a ‘predator’, they split and at the time Courtney blamed the age gap – but less than a year later they reunited.
She explained: "We separated for nine months in 2013. It was strictly the age difference.
"I got married at 16 and, honestly, I look back now and realise how young I was. It's mind-boggling to me that we were able to do it - that my mom would sign a bit of paper to let me marry a 50-year-old."
