Geri Halliwell, 36, confesses in a new interview that she never wanted to be a single mother.

Geri said, “I don’t think it’s the ideal scenario,”
“It’s quite tough.”

Unlike other mothers who have her disposable wealth, Geri nurtures daughter Bluebell Madonna, who will be three this month, without the help of a nanny when they are in the UK.

Geri turned her hand to writing children’s books in order to provide greater stability in Bluebell’s life.

“I wanted to write, because it meant I wouldn’t be at work all the time. I could work in the house and still spend plenty of time with my child.”

Geri says that one of the unexpected emotions of motherhood is guilt. “As soon as you have a child, you get guilty,”

“I’m always thinking, ‘Is that good enough? Am I doing it right?’” Her decision to breastfeed was fraught with the emotion, but Geri says she now has no regrets about weaning Bluebell at five months. “It was a long time,” she says. “Let it go!”

“And it’s such a fib that it makes you thinner. That’s a lie told by the milk mafia. I was extra-hungry. I was not dropping the baby weight.”

Adding that her “boobs look alright,” Geri concedes that they’re “maybe not as tip-top as they were,” but not so bad that she’d consider plastic surgery. “I would feel bad about … going under anesthetic,” she explains. “I have a child; [What if] I died?”

Her recent relationship with Fabrizio Politi was a short-lived whirlwind. Geri is adamant however that as a result of Bluebell she’s “more cautious” about whom she dates, and that her taste in men has changed as well. “If somebody doesn’t like children, they’re not going to come near me.”
