I’m a single mum of two and have no idea who their dads are – trolls say I’m ‘selfish’ and ‘depriving them’ but I’m not
A WOMAN who decided she wasn't waiting around for a partner to have kids has taken matters into her own hands.
Becky Bell, from Australia, has now had two children through IVF after finding out she could be infertile.
Fertility for woman can begin to decrease from the age of 35 reports the NHS, so Becky, 29, wanted to make sure she had her kids before it became even harder.
Taking to social media, the mum-of-two has shared both of her IVF journey's with her two kids, Noah and Adaline.
But it seemed some meanies thought her decision was wrong because she was single.
In a clip posted to TikTok Becky revealed some of the rude questions she has been asked because of her pregnancies.

She said she is often asked 'where is the dad?' and lets people know there isn't one. and she is single while pregnant.
Becky has used two donors for her children, but doesn't know any personal details about them.
But the mum is often asked how on earth she will do it alone - completely glossing over the fact she has tonnes of friends and family to help out and support her.
"How could you be so selfish and deprive your child of a father?" was another comment Becky had to put up with.
Hitting back, she said: "Who said he's going to be deprived?"
Others have claimed the tots will for sure grow up with daddy issues if they don't have a father figure in their life.
"He will have so many male figures in his life," Becky clapped back, "Poppy, grandfather and uncles..."
Becky also knew her child would be surrounded by lots of love even if he didn't have a dad after some trolls asked how she could do this to her child.
"Not that it’s any of your business…" she captioned the post.
The videos posted to her TikTok account @beckybell soon went viral as many people followed her IVF journey.
People were quick to praise the mum in the comments and told her to ignore the haters.
One person wrote: "I know so many who had abusive fathers that would have been better off without them."
What is IVF?
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a technique available to help people with fertility problems have a baby.
During IVF, an egg is removed from the woman's ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory.
The egg, called an embryo once fertilised, is then returned to the woman's womb to grow and develop.
It can be carried out using your eggs and your partner's sperm, or eggs and sperm from donors.
Another commented: "Best choice ever."
"Good on you girl, you got this!!!!" penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "What you are doing takes courage! You are an amazing woman! And that child is going to grow up knowing their mother is so strong and independent!"
"Man people can be rude. you got this,” claimed a fifth.
