‘When I had Axel, I learned a lot about not sweating the small stuff. A lot of things used to really get to me, used to make me feel so uncomfortable.

‘I am not really good at handling confrontation – anything like that would usually kind of overwhelm me.

‘But when I had Axel, I thought, ‘None of them things matter. I can handle that. I’ve just birthed a human.

‘I felt powerful. I was, like let someone try me… I think I’m ready now.

Perrie added: ‘He gave me this confidence I didn’t know I ever had. And then I felt protective of him so then I became the protector.

‘And then I thought, ‘Right, if I can do this for him, I can do it for myself’. And it just kind of changed me in a good way. I’d say for the better.

‘He’s the best thing to ever happen to me.

‘I will be in the garden and he’ll turn around to me and go, ‘Mama’. And then sometimes I get taken aback and I’m like, ‘I am a mama’.

Perrie Edwards showed off her toned figure as she gave insight into her family holiday earlier this month with fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and their son, Axel

The songstress recently revealed the reason why she isn’t in a rush to get married to Alex after he proposed two years ago

The Forget About Us singer concluded: ‘And still, to this day, even though he’s like three, I’m like, ‘I’m a mummy. I made you!’ It’s crazy because I’m obsessed with him. Love, love him.’ 

It comes after Perrie gave fans an insight into her family holiday earlier this month.

The singer posed for photos in a fun knitted bikini, with a watermelon design, in the update shared to Instagram on Sunday. 

Hitting the beach with her son, another sweet snap showed her cradling Axel while strolling across the sand. 

Axel, who turns three-years-old next month, looked adorable in blue Hawaiian printed shirt and denim shorts.

Recently, Perrie revealed the reason why she isn’t in a rush to get married to Alex. 

The couple are yet to set a date after the footballer proposed two years ago. 

‘I feel like we’ve already planned it. In our minds we know and we talk about it a lot – Alex more so than me actually which is really cute because he wants it to pop off,’ Perrie said during an Australian radio interview. 

‘He wants a party, a performer, he wants it to be a big thing. I’m like, I know who I want as bridesmaids and this and that. It’s all kind of set in stone but we haven’t actually planned it yet. 

Perrie added that she wants to wait until Axel gets older so he can play a big role in the wedding. 

‘There’s a lot going on in my life right now, I’ve got so much. We’ve said about waiting for Axel to be older and then he can be a pageboy or whatever. It makes more sense.’
