When quizzed on why she waited until her third trimester to share the good news, Goulding revealed that she wanted to take the time to get her head around her new reality. She reportedly hid at Jopling's country home to keep her pregnancy from the public.
As a touring musician, being a mom was not on the top of her list. During a March interview with The Telegraph, she remarked that she had never felt any woman should be defined by motherhood.
