Toni Duggan of Everton took to her Instagram page to announce that she was expecting a baby as she celebrated with her friends who gave her a surprise baby shower party.
In the post she wrote with so much joy that: “Baby shower. 🧸Thanks for the best ‘surprise’ day & night my girls – another not normal one. 😂🙈💜💃🤰”
Duggan opened up exclusively to Sky Sports’ WSL presenter Caroline Barker about the challenges of keeping her pregnancy from her teammates in the early weeks, training with Andros Townsend, and how she hasn’t given up on her England career just yet.
Toni Duggan claims that despite her morning sickness, she still likes a bowl of Scouse: “I’ve still been having my Scouse, getting my goodness in, especially in this weather. My mum’s been forcing it down me neck.”
Duggan has never strayed far from her Scouse accent, which is as rich as the stew associated with Liverpool, despite her travels from Manchester City to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
“In the first few weeks, I wasn’t too sick, I was just actually being sick,” Duggan continued. “I felt okay in myself so I’d be on the bike upstairs before the girls went out to training”.
Duggan, like the majority of expectant mothers, kept her pregnancy a secret for the first 12 weeks, even though there were occasions when it was difficult to conceal, especially since she was frequently ill.
“It was every single time at 10 minutes. I think when my body temperature came up and I needed to be sick, the girls were in the gym and I was like where can I go? I had to be sick into my jumper and just put it to the side.”
“It’s been tough. One minute, I’m on the pitch training with the girls doing my own little session and the next minute I’m stuck in bed for 24 hours”
Duggan found it challenging to hide when she wasn’t yet ready to share her news because of her illness.
