Gypsy Rose Blanchard talks about her doubts 

Gypsy Rose Blanchard also addressed concerns her fans may have, “I know that there are going to be people who feel like I’m not ready to be a mother, and I don’t know if anyone’s really ready to become a mother.”

“When I found out I was pregnancy, nothing else mattered,” she said while adding that her priority is to stay healthy, reported The Hollywood Reporter.

“It’s an amazing feeling when your whole world shifts. And suddenly it’s not about you; it’s not about anything other than the tiny little life that’s inside you that you are now in charge of protecting,” Blanchard expressed.

“And that little tiny life is a baby, a little tiny human that’s yours, you that you have to make sure that you protect, you love, you take care of, and all of the things that I wished I could have had when I was little.”
