Nativity actress Ashley Jensen has revealed that the responsibility of becoming a new mother has made her doubt herself at times.
The 40-year-old former Ugly Betty and Extras star, who is married to actor Terence Beesley, gave birth to son Francis, in October, and she said that she sometimes feels overwhelmed by motherhood.
She said: “Sometimes, I think, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’. I’m so aware of the fact that everything I do is going to affect him.
“At the moment, I have a chesty cold and I’m worried he’ll catch it. But he probably has a strong immune system thanks to our dog, Barney. Whenever Frankie cries, Barney runs over and licks him on the head!”
She added: “Also, I now understand parents who have messy houses. It’s always been just me, Terry, and the dog, so the house was pretty neat.
“Now it’s chaos, with baby-grows and bits of half-eaten dinner everywhere. But they say it gets easier.”
