Vicky Pattison's PMDD Fears: Motherhood & Egg Freezing

On March 24, Vicki Paterson, the 38-year-old TV star from Strickley, has been open about

her fertility journey.

She froze her eggs at age 35 and ended up with three embryos stored for the future.

Now she's sharing deep worries about what kind of mother she might be.

She lives with pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder, or PMDD, which hits her heart for seven

to ten days each month.

During those times, she feels short-tempered, exhausted, and battles dark intrusive thoughts

that make it tough to regulate her emotions.

PMDD ramps up PMS symptoms to a severe level, causing anxiety, anger, depression, and even

suicidal feelings that disrupt daily life.

Vicki fears she won't be the fun, engage parents she envisions, especially when she's stuck

in bed unable to function.

Earlier this year, she criticized doctors for using terms like geriatric eggs, calling

it fear-mongering.

She starring in a new Channel 4 documentary, called Maybe Baby, with her husband Erkan,

exploring family pressures and options like egg freezing.

The couple, married for two years, is weighing kids amid her thriving career.

While she advocates for fertility choices from her privileged spot, motherhood remains

a big question mark as they navigate these real-life decisions.
