Harvey was due to be sentenced but Judge Shomon Khan adjourned the case until next month because he wants a probation report into her background.
He told her: “You have pleaded guilty to a very serious offence and the likely sentence is immediate imprisonment.
“You have never to prison before and have a limited set of previous convictions.
“I just want to know more about you and how you got yourself in this situation.”
The judge added: “It is likely that a lengthy sentence will follow.”
Harvey was remanded in custody until November 11.
She was represented by Julia Cox and the prosecution by Janet McDonald.
