Emmerdale teen drops huge baby bombshell – leaving villager stunned
This comes after she found herself in a love triangle
AN EMMERDALE teen is set to rock the village to its core by dropping a massive baby bombshell that leaves one local totally floored.
The youngster reveals their surprise revelation – leaving viewers jaws on the floor.
Emmerdale’s Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) has been caught in a love triangle between Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) and Kammy (Shebz Miah).
Torn between who to choose, Sarah realised she didn’t want either of them, and just wanted to be a mum.
Monday’s episode of the ITV soap saw Sarah open up to Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) about her plans.
A stunned Vanessa asked: “A baby? Where’s all this come from?”
Sarah replied: “When I was choosing between Jacob and Kammy.
“I knew something was missing and then seeing Jacob yesterday it made me realise it wasn’t anything to do with either of them.
“I just want to be a mum.”
Sarah continued: “With IVF you don’t even need anyone else involved, except a donor.
“My chances of getting pregnant naturally are next to zero thanks to one thing and another.
“So, I’m hoping it’s an option because with my condition I don’t have the luxury of time.
“So, if I want to be a mum I need to make it happen now.
Sarah inability to have children stems from her health struggles, specifically her diagnosis with Fanconi anaemia and subsequent heart failure.
The genetic disease, revealed in 2011, required a bone marrow transplant, and later she was diagnosed with throat cancer and heart failure.
These health issues, particularly the heart transplant and the potential complications of her underlying condition, make it medically difficult for her to conceive.
She also grapples with the fear of not having as long a lifespan as others, which further complicates her desire for motherhood.
Sarah begged Vanessa not to tell anyone about her plans to have a baby.
How will the rest of the village feel about Sarah’s decision?
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
