Kym Marsh will be daughters birthing partner as she becomes grandma for first time: It was just a given
Coronation Streets Kym Marsh has revealed that she will be her daughters birthing partner as she becomes a grandmother for the very first time.
Kyms daughter Emilie Cunliffe, 21, is expecting her first baby with boyfriend of two years, Mikey Hoszowskyj.
The little one will be Kyms first grandchild, and at 42, Kym is looking forward to being a hands-on grandparent.
Speaking to OK Magazine, the star said: Im one of the birthing partners – shell have me and Mikey.
It was just a given. My mum was at all of mine and my sisters births.
Emilie accepts the fact that Kym will be in the delivery room would be a natural order of things.
I never asked Mum to be my birthing partner, Emilie said laughing. Its just standard that shell be there – she comes everywhere with me!

Even though Kym is set to have a grandchild in her 40s – younger than most – she isnt planning on being called grandma just yet.
Speaking on This Morning in January she revealed that she and the family have done a little research and come up with an alternative as she said she just cant do being called grandma.
She told hosts Eamonn and Ruth: Im really excited about being a grandparent but theres no way Im being a grandma, or granny, nanny or any of those things.
We looked on a website and found alternative names and Im going to be Lolly.
Eamonn then joked that as shed be a very glamorous granny, shed be a lucious Lolly.
The soap star laughed: Luscious Lolly? Im going with that one.
Emilie told the hosts that although the baby wasnt planned, she and her boyfriend are both excited for its arrival. But she confessed her mum had to force her into taking a test in the first place.
She just dropped it into conversation while she was casually doing my nails one day, Kym said. She said, “I have a bit of a tummy ache but Im late,” and I was like, “How late?” And she was like, “Well, so many weeks.”
And I was like, “Emilie, do you not think we should do a test?” But she was scared. So I kind of forced her.
