In Ida Fladen’s podcast, the politician says that there are several options for single women to have children, but that she wanted to go for a way where the father figure would continue to be present.
According to Trettebergstuen, the pregnancy was not an easy affair.
– Totally awesome. First, I felt incredibly sick and nauseous. What they talk about is that you can become extremely nauseous in the first three months. Never been so nauseous, and it was all the time, every day. I just had to lie in the prone position. I thought now I’m going to die, I can’t take this, she says.

Solitude
After the nausea subsided, the former minister had to contend with other ailments associated with the pregnancy. According to Trettebergstuen, she was also characterized by loneliness.
– I really felt that when you are pregnant you should be held around at night, held on the stomach and kissed on the neck. I really felt it. Felt that it was lonely, because we weren’t together like that, Trettebergstuen elaborates.
The politician says that the friend and the child’s father helped, but that despite this she felt a longing for a relationship.
