A woman has revealed her pregnancy non-negotiables - including a babymoon, £1k push present and personal trainer to get back in shape.
Single Nora Talal, 26, says she'd refuse to have a baby with someone who couldn't keep up with her demands.
Nora says she wouldn't work from maternity to nursery age and wants to go on a luxury babymoon - a holiday before the baby arrives - with her partner to relax and be in the right frame of mind to give birth.
Nora says she would like a push present from her partner - to the value of at least £1k and suggest a designer handbag or a pair of shoes.
She would demand a private room for her post-pregnancy care in a hospital and wants to own a three-bed house in London and surrounding counties, to bring her baby home to.
Nora would like to attend all baby classes with her partner, for him to abstain in whatever she can't do or whatever makes her sick while expecting and for him to pay for her post-pregnancy personal trainer and meal-subscription service so she can get back in shape.
She says she "probably wouldn't consider" a partner who couldn't give her what she wants, but some says things are negotiable.
Nora, a tech sales worker, from West Hampstead, London, who hasn't had any children yet, said: "I think I just set standards for my life that I live by.
"I've worked my whole life and got used to having a certain lifestyle I guess.
"Everything I'm demanding I can provide for myself, but why should I compromise the standard I've set myself just because I've had a baby and I'm not going back to work immediately?
"I shared my thoughts online and I've had mixed responses.
"The majority of negatives often come from men and I guess it might have irked people the wrong way.
"In their words, it's demanding. I'm single and that's been a point they like to pick on, they say that it's for a reason.
"I stand by my decisions.
"I get a lot of people saying I'm delusional and a lot of people think it's satire. It's genuinely my opinion."
Nora said she has always wanted to be married and at least 30 before having children.
She said: "I would quite like to enjoy being married before I have a child.
"I'm not saying having kids ruins your life, but things change and you're going to be restricted with the pressures of kids."
While she hopes to one day return to work, Nora would like to be employment-free from maternity to nursery age.
She said: "Ideally I'd probably want to go into a role that works around child hours.
"Even if I could do what I'm doing now with more flexibility.
"It would be nice for my husband to have paternity as well but I think for me I would need to have from maternity leave to nursery years off."
Nora would also like to have her own babymoon before the arrival of her little one.
She said: "The idea is you know you're pregnant and when it's advisable you can travel then you go on holiday.
"It's for you and your partner to spend time together before you become a family.
