Toni Street's best friend says surrogate baby sometimes feels like hers

Toni Street's best friend Sophie Braggins, left, is carrying Street and husband Matt France's third child.
The surrogate mother carrying Toni Street's new baby boy says he sometimes feels like hers.
But both Street and the surrogate, Street's childhood friend Sophie Braggins, say they're "pleased" she's feeling that way.
Braggins and Street fielded questions about the surrogacy from Street's radio co-hosts on The Hits on Monday morning.
Braggins admitted that although she was well aware the baby belonged to Street and husband Matt France, there were times it felt like hers

"I do have moments where he does feel like mine. I think it is just biological because he is growing inside me and although my logical side says this is Toni and Matt's baby, I have moments when I think of him and think 'I love you little boy'," she said.
Street said she was glad Braggins felt that way, because it meant she loved the baby like Street did.
Street is unable to carry another child herself because she was diagnosed with life-threatening autoimmune condition Churg-Strauss syndrome in 2015. She and husband France already have two children, son Mackenzie and daughter Juliette.
Braggins also has two children, aged seven and nine, with husband Mike.
The pair said they were expecting Braggins to have some strong emotions after the birth, but Braggins said she was looking forward getting her job done.
"I have my two kiddies and I am perfectly happy. I guess there will be a lot of emotions but I think the excitement will overshadow everything else," she said.
Street revealed the entire surrogacy process had cost her and France around $30,000.
