Cheryl is "confident" she can be a working mother.

The 'Call My Name' singer is expecting her first child with boyfriend Liam Payne, and though the new arrival will be keeping her hands full, she is reportedly still planning to be putting out new music next year.
A source told new! magazine: "Cheryl has been working on new material for a while and she's proud of it.
"There's a bit more work to do, but it's coming and no changes in her personal life are going to derail it.
"She is incredibly determined and has a very supportive family so she feels confident she'll be able to balance everything and keep working.
"It's an exciting time for her in all aspects of her life - but she can't wait to get some new music out."
And Liam will also be kept busy with his own solo career, as he's reportedly flying out to Los Angeles next month to finish off his album.
The source said: "Liam is doing what he can to make sure he spends as much time as possible with Cheryl before and after the birth, but some commitments can't be changed."
However, the former Girls Aloud singer will be able to count on her family, including beloved mum Joan Callaghan, for support.
The insider said: "Luckily Cheryl has an incredibly supportive family who will rally around if they are needed.
"They will also help her and Liam after the birth as Cheryl is saying she doesn't want to get a nanny."
Though Cheryl hasn't officially confirmed her pregnancy, following weeks of speculation she stepped out with Liam last month with her growing baby bump clear to see.
