A woman has revealed how an accidental pregnancy with her casual Tinder date turned her into a devoted mother.

Like any 34-year-old single woman, Renae Carolan, who lives in Melbourne, was facing the reality that her 'eggs were not getting any younger'.

And so she started consulting with her GP about freezing her eggs so she could have the fertility option of having IVF sometime down the track.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, she said her life completely changed after a decision to 'swipe right' on the popular dating app gave her what she least expected.

Fast forward three years, Ms Carolan laughs when she speaks candidly about how her now two-year-old daughter Avery started off as a 'Tinder surprise'.

She revealed how she had ended a long-term relationship in 2010 - and had moved from Queensland to Melbourne to get a fresh start.

Ms Carolan found herself on the dating scene again but the dates didn't progress after the coffee meet-up because 'no one really sparked my interest'.

But on the night of New Years Day in 2014, Ms Carolan was celebrating with friends when they decided to set up an account for her.

'I was a bit apprehensive at first but thought I may as well see how I go,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

'The next morning, I was swiping around and stumbled across Avery's father. We chatted for a couple of weeks before we met.'

The pair started casually dating for some time before she fell pregnant to him unexpectedly - but it was certainly a welcome surprise.

'We'd sort of been casually dating for six weeks before he accidentally knocked me up,' Ms Carolan said as she laughed.

'It was genuinely accidental because it was something I wasn't ready for.'

Ms Carolan explained she had only realised she was expecting a baby when she couldn't stomach her food at dinner one evening.

'I've never had a pregnancy scare in my life so at first, I didn't how to feel,' she said.

'But I was actually having dinner with a friend on one of our regular Friday nights where we'd order the same food and share it but I wasn't feeling 100 per cent.

'For some reason, I turned to my friend and said to him "I can't eat it, I don't feel too good... I think I'm pregnant. I honestly do"... he just laughed at me.'

Her intuition was right after she confirmed it via a home pregnancy test. She then had to decide what she was going to do next.

'I went back to see my GP because I didn't know what to do,' she explained.

'The GP then said to me "you were sitting in my chair 12 months ago talking about freezing your eggs because you wanted a baby... it didn't happen the way you imagined it but you should seize the moment while it's here".

'I thought, well I'm 36, I'm not a 15 year old, I'm actually old enough to do this because I'm independent and working in a corporate job.'

But while she had already made up her mind about the baby, the hardest part was breaking the news to her Tinder date.

'The hardest part was trying to figure out how I was going to tell this man who I was casually seeing for a couple of months that he was going to be a father,' she said.

'I knew we weren't going to be long-term and we were definitely not soul mates.

'When I told him, he was obviously shocked and in disbelief but he actually reacted well than I expected.'

Ms Carolan laughed as she spoke about the moment she told her 'old school' parents about the exciting news.

'I was a bit nervous telling them because they would expect you to have children the old-fashioned way,' she said.

'By the time I was 37, they pretty much resigned themselves they'll never have grandkids.

'But when I told them, they said: "we don't care how it happened as long as we're getting a grandchild". They were a little shocked but more so excited.

'Mum had locked away a baby present for 10 years prior to my news. My younger sister didn't have kids either. So mum didn't care who was having a baby as long as someone gives her a grandchild.'

She also told Avery's father there was no pressure to be involved in their lives.

'I got more from him that I expected,' she said.

'To his credit, he would continue to come over to see us on Sundays and spend time with us. He came to my pregnancy scans and met my parents at dinner.'

For anyone who has been down a similar path, Ms Carolan advised: 'You can only control what you do with your life, you can't control someone else's.

'And the thing is don't ever think it's a weakness to reach out for help or advice. I'm proud to admit that I've been seeing a child psychologist.

'I've been learning all the tools of how I can raise Avery so she will grow up not feeling disadvantage. It's all about taking the curb ball that life throws at you.

'It's just been an amazing journey to become a mum. I've got an amazing daughter and I love her so much. Avery gets a lot of attention, she's spoiled with love.'
