Hannah Waddingham turned to Eastern medicine to help get pregnant<\/p>\n
\nA decade ago the actress, now 49, underwent medical tests and later turned to a holistic doctor for help, which led to her increasing her magnesium copper levels as well as having acupuncture and Reiki.<\/p>\n
\nShe told Glamour magazine: “Because the Western doctor was trying to fill me with chemicals, but the Eastern practitioner was a very kind, positive man who gave me acupuncture and Reiki too \u2013 and when I visualise him and the treatment, I remember it being a holistic, warm 360 approach.”<\/p>\n
\nA few weeks later, Hannah – who was 39 at the time – fell pregnant with her daughter Kitty, and she brought her baby girl home from hospital on her 40th birthday.<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Ted Lasso’ star – who won the entertainer prize at Glamour’s Women Of The Year Awards on Tuesday (17.10.23) – described motherhood as her “greatest achievement”, and explained she was keen to wait until she was “ready and to not resent that child for taking me away from my career”.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: “Because the greatest gift in the world is a child and they are complete, beautiful, green innocents.<\/p>\n
\n“There\u2019s no doubt you definitely have to be ready for it, because it\u2019s right that they should take over, because they need to.<\/p>\n
\n“But being a single mother in your forties is not easy! I\u2019m not going to lie, it\u2019s quite exhausting.”<\/p>\n
\nHannah – who split from ex Gianluca Cugnetto when Kitty was just two years old – admitted the self doubt sometimes creeps in, but she has learned to take “pride” in her work to pass that onto her daughter.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “It felt like the rug was pulled from underneath me, but I had to make the decision not to be weakened by it.<\/p>\n
\n“I distinctly remember feeling like my daughter and I were on an upturned dustbin lid, like a flying saucer, holding on for dear life \u2013 until the waters were calmer! Ironically though, my career has skyrocketed ever since.<\/p>\n
\n“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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
