00:00 My first impression of Lindsay was, I honestly thought she was 12 or 13.
00:04 Lindsay's size didn't bother me, because everyone comes in all shapes and sizes, don't they?
00:08 One, Lindsay was heavily pregnant at the time and we get people shouting at us and stuff like that.
00:13 The pregnancy video, the one that went completely viral,
00:16 I had some of the hate comments, "She'll not be a good mum because she just looks like a child."
00:21 I'm just like, "Yeah, I know. I know I look like that. What do you expect me to say?"
00:27 We both met at Lindsay's dad's garage where I used to work.
00:31 You walked into the office, didn't you?
00:33 And I was like, "I want him."
00:37 I literally fell in love as soon as I saw him.
00:39 My first impression of Lindsay was, I honestly thought she was 12 or 13.
00:43 I got quite concerned when her mum asked me one day, "John, how old are you? Are you single?"
00:50 And she was like, "John, this is Lindsay. Lindsay, this is John."
00:53 That was it, wasn't it? And then we started talking.
00:55 And then you asked how old I was.
00:57 And I told you I was 16.
01:01 And then I told you my story and that changed how you saw me, didn't it?
01:05 I think, yeah.
01:07 Growing up in my condition was pretty difficult.
01:09 When I was in school and I lost my head to chemotherapy, no boy really wanted to be with me.
01:15 A lot of people go, "Oh no, she's way too small for me. I don't want someone that's super skinny and looks like a twig."
01:22 Which really obviously knocked my confidence in finding a relationship and falling in love.
01:29 I was told I would never get pregnant.
01:31 If I did, I'd be trying for ages, like years, and I'd probably have to have IVF.
01:37 It would never happen naturally.
01:39 Once, I was like, "I'm not coming on my time with my mum."
01:43 And we looked at the test and it was so positive.
01:45 We were just like, "No, don't believe that."
01:47 Went to the shops and bought like 20 more tests because I just didn't believe it, did we?
01:51 And we took it to mum straight away and I was like, "I'm pregnant."
01:56 I was told by midwives, etc., that it was going to be horrendous for me.
02:01 I was probably going to be constantly sick.
02:04 I was going to be in agony because I was so small.
02:06 And I carried him until 39 weeks and one day, and then I had a planned C-section.
02:12 Having Slane is like the best thing ever, isn't it?
02:15 He's amazing.
02:16 Yeah, he's amazing.
02:17 He's the happiest, cheekiest little boy ever.
02:21 And he just has made me feel and grow more confident.
02:26 The pregnancy video, the one that went completely viral,
02:31 I had some of the hate comments.
02:32 "She'll not be a good mum because she just looks like a child."
02:36 "One way to get a council house."
02:38 So I replied with a video just basically saying that we don't have a council house.
02:42 We own our own house, but even if we did, why would it matter?
02:45 Because at the end of the day, I think it's a wonderful thing that's offered to people that generally do need it.
02:50 "Oh, she looks 12," or "She looks 13," or whatever.
02:54 And I'm just like, "Yeah, I know. I know I look like that."
02:57 "What do you expect me to say?"
02:58 "Why are you being so nasty? I can't help that I look like him."
03:01 People say and assume in our relationship that John sees me as a child.
03:07 And that we can't be as happy as we are.
03:12 It can be hard sometimes, but because we know we love one another, it's quite easy to push to one side.
03:19 One time we went out to Exmouth just for a nice day out on the beach.
03:23 Lynda was heavily pregnant at the time, and we get people shouting at us to do stuff like that.
03:28 It can be difficult. It sometimes feels like, "Do I really want to go out?"
03:32 What size is that?
03:36 16 years.
03:40 They're quite nice, actually.
03:42 What age were these?
03:44 They're 10 years.
03:45 Yeah. It's quite funny.
03:47 They actually fit on the waist quite nicely.
03:49 Yeah, but they've got a belt as well. They were a bit loose without the belt.
03:53 That's nice. I like those, actually.
03:55 With a white T-shirt on, they'd be nice, wouldn't they?
03:58 Definitely, yeah.
03:59 I wish it was easier, obviously.
04:02 Having adult-looking clothes that fit in nicely, like petite.
04:05 I just think it's short.
04:07 I don't like it.
04:10 How did you get on?
04:12 Was it nice just having a try on?
04:14 Yeah, definitely.
04:15 Do you feel like you can't?
04:17 Yeah, sometimes.
04:18 Sometimes you get fed up because I can never find something that fits me.
04:22 It's annoying.
04:23 Stop trying, then.
04:25 Yeah.
04:26 Otherwise, I've either got to pay a lot of money to get something that fits me, or nothing fits me at all.
04:32 It's really annoying.
04:34 It's frustrating.
04:35 Yeah.
04:37 So, the shopping trip today was okay.
04:40 It's a shame, really, because obviously there was no adult clothing that would have fitted me.
04:47 I had to look in the teens range.
04:49 They were all age 10.
04:51 Yeah.
04:52 Yeah, apart from the T-shirt, which was age 13.
04:54 At the end of the day, we are all completely different.
04:57 If we were all the same, it would just be so boring.
05:00 The size doesn't bother me, because everyone comes in all shapes and sizes, don't they?
05:04 Love comes in all shapes and sizes.
05:06 shapes and sizes. Definitely, yeah.
