Natasha Hamilton has admitted she is unsure as to whether or not she is a good mother.
The Atomic Kitten singer, who is currently pregnant with her fourth child, said she was recently left questioning her parenting skills following a parents' evening at her son's school.
Writing in her blog at Baby.co.uk, the 32-year-old explained: "At parents' night we were told our child should be able to dress and undress themselves for PE, be writing their full name and after just one week at school we were told we are expected to drop them off at the gates while they go and line up themselves, all confident and grown up.
"Cue drama – I immediately went into panic mode."
She went on to say that she still dresses her son, four-year-old Harry, and she gives him a "million hugs" before she leaves him with a teacher.
She added: "To top things off, he still drinks a bottle as his comforter, one in the morning, one at night."
It all led to the singer questioning her skills. She wrote: "What if he gets to school and gets upset because he can't do what the other children can do? Will he pick it all up quickly? Have I mollycoddled him too much?
"The questions floating round my head are endless."
However, she realised that despite her concerns, sometimes mothers really do know best.
"What I have learnt over the years is that you have to go with your instincts and really trust them," she said. "Guidelines are great, they give us confidence in areas where we might not know entirely what we're doing but seriously, mummy does know best and baby does too, they'll let you know when something's not right."
Hamilton is due to give birth to her fourth child shortly. It will be her first child with partner Ritchie Neville, but Hamilton is already a mother to Josh, 11, with her ex Fran Cosgrove; Harry, nine, from her relationship with Gavin Hatcher and four-year-old Alfie from her relationship with ex-husband Riad Erraji.
In July 2013, Hamilton announced she and Erraji had decided to end their six-year marriage. Later that year, she started a relationship with Neville.
