In a personal interview with Mother and Baby, the Olympic swimming champion spoke candidly about motherhood.
Having given birth to her first daughter on the 8th June, 26-year-old Becky revealed it hasn't been plain sailing, explaining:
"I’m constantly anxious and feel that I need reassurance, so I keep googling stuff and texting the health visitor.
"Everyone keeps saying to me ‘you know best’ and I keep saying, ‘I don’t know. I’ve been a mum for all of a few weeks, how am I supposed to know?’
"At the start, I was only getting two hours’ sleep a night. But last night, Summer woke up every three hours for a feed, then went back to sleep, so Harry and me did too. I’m very happy with that."
And Becky, who has been married to fellow swimmer Harry Needs for a year, wasn't always set on the name Summer.
"We didn’t choose her name until two days after she’d been born.
"We really liked ‘Thea’ and ‘Indy’, but when she came out Harry said, ‘She’s not Thea, and she’s not Indy.’ Everyone kept telling us which name they liked – even the midwife said they’d had lots of Indy’s born lately.
"When Harry and I finally had some time to ourselves, I said, ‘Babe, what do you like?’ and we had a chat, just the two of us. ‘Summer’ wasn’t even in the running at the start!"
Well we love the name!
