Inside Corrie star Lucy Fallon’s trip to York with boyfriend and son Sonny after she was mum shamed over contraception
SHE recently welcomed her first child with footballer Ryan Ledson and last weekend the couple headed off on a special trip to York with their little boy Sonny.
Former Corrie star Lucy Fallon, 27, kept her followers up to date with the break and shared a video on TikTok.
The family had a wholesome weekend browsing the shops, visiting the cathedral and swimming in their hotel pool.
Ryan and Lucy clearly love sharing the special moment with their little boy as they showed him around.
Lucy shared clips as she visited an antique book store and checked out some impressive floral displays.
The star and Ryan, 25, welcomed the little boy on January 30, weighing 7lbs 4oz.
Lucy conceived Sonny after suffering a miscarriage and the devastating experience made her pregnancy all the more emotional.
She said: “It’s been a roller-coaster of high and low moments, with lots of tears along the way. When Sonny was finally born, we were both sobbing – but happy tears.”
The trip to York comes after Lucy was warned by followers about the contraception she was using.
Last week in a new paid sponsorship post, she’s said she’s using the Natural Cycles contraceptive app to “prevent pregnancy naturally” as she tries to forgo medical interventions like the Pill or the Coil.
The company claims that Natural Cycles is 93% effective with typical use and 98% effective with perfect use (abstaining from sex on ‘red days” when the app identifies you as fertile).
However, fans aren’t so sure it’s wise for the new mum, and have spoken out against her decision to use the app as her new contraception, citing new mums can oftentimes be more fertile in the weeks after giving birth.
“My children are 12 months apart. Be careful. You are super fertile right now. Exclusive breastfeeding is not birth control. Congrats!!!” one wrote.
“Be careful just because your[e] not [ovulating] does not mean you won’t get pregnant,” said a second. “You have your best chance at getting pregnant when you are but there are many myths on the internet like a woman can’t get pregnant when on her period this is just not true very unlikely but can still happen.”
“Be careful I know a few people who have got pregnant using this app!” said a third, with several others claiming the same thing.
