has opened up about her decision to wait to become a mother until she turned 40, as she didn’t “resent that child for taking me away from my career”.star spoke candidly about her desire to have a child on her own terms and make motherhood “work in tandem” with her professional career as a star of stage and screen.after being crowned their Woman of The Year, Hannah explained: “I wanted to have a child when I was ready and to not resent that child for taking me away from my career.
When she was 39, Hannah conceived her daughter naturally, after following the guidance of an Eastern practitioner and addressing the balance of minerals in her body and holistic treatments like reiki. “But being a single mother in your forties is not easy! I’m not going to lie, it’s quite exhausting. One of the greatest acting jobs in my life is pretending I have energy to my daughter! Honestly, when she says to me, “Oh, let’s do this or let’s do that, mumma,” my whole body goes, ‘Oh my God, really?’”
“I do believe that when you painfully shut one door, the sun shines through the cracks of another and you have to go to it,” Hannah said about her relationship breakdown with her daughter’s father ending when she was two and a half.“Of course, some days I think that I’m an absolutely rubbish mother because I go out to work strange hours and I can’t always be with my girl, and I do believe women particularly have inherent guilt.
