Amazing! Single woman meets future husband while 8 months pregnant

While most men would run away from situations like this,a single mum went on a first date while eight months pregnant and met her future husband.
Sarah Connors was facing motherhood alone having broken up with her ex-partner before discovering she was pregnant .But the 28-year-old met and fell in love with shop worker Lance Connors, 27, just weeks before Elodie was born.
She and Lance got engaged within five months and married this year, with Elodie, now two, calling Lance 'Daddy'.
The pair went on their first date at a pub after messaging on dating app Oasis and adding each other on Facebook.
Sarah, a hairdressing and beauty student said:
 "I assumed that no-one would want to date me while I was pregnant, but I felt lonely seeing other couples with babies, so I joined the app to keep myself entertained more than anything else!"I know there's a taboo around dating during pregnancy but my family and friends were very supportive. If I hadn't done it, I would never have met Lance. It was his idea to meet up and he didn't seem freaked out that I was pregnant.
"We met at a pub to have a meal together and it was quite relaxed, although I think he was shocked when he saw the size of my bump.I was wearing a maxi dress and he said, 'You are quite pregnant, aren't you?' But he didn't make a big deal out of it.
When Sarah set up a dating profile she was upfront about being heavily pregnant.
 We got engaged at the end of January and even though we'd only known each other for five months, it seemed so natural.
"I felt a bit self-conscious at first because Elodie wasn't Lance's baby, but my friends were so happy for me."
Sarah and Lance had a vintage-themed wedding in February with Elodie as their flower girl.
She said:
"My ex-boyfriend didn't want much to do with the baby which I was fine with, but if he wants to meet his daughter in future he is welcome to get in touch
