Alyssa Hodges always wanted to be a mum, just not at 19 years old. Then 17 weeks into her pregnancy, her partner left.

Overwhelmed and grieving, dating was the last thing on her mind. But a friend suggested she give Tinder a go, as it would be even harder to date once the baby arrived.

She didn't expect to meet and start falling for Max Silvy. And she definitely didn't expect to go into labour when they were meant to be having their fourth date.
