Hello. I’m feeling a touch blue today. Nothing really bad or horrible, just blah. Not entirely sure if it’s from adrenalin fatigue or if it’s just the weather messing me round. Either way, need some cheering up. So tell me your good and happy news.

Hello. Lately I’ve been hearing horror stories from mums about their maternal and child health centre visits. Mostly in the aggressive and contradictory advice given out in the sessions. From apparent overfeeding to sleep “suggestions” which have made the mums feel guilty for doing the best they can. I was lucky. I had two amazing [...]

Hello. As I was perusing facebook over my breakfast cuppa, this article about Fifi Box came to my attention. It says about Fifi not being prepared to be a mum. The article itself didn’t really worry me because that’s how most of us feel but the thing that really got to me was the comments [...]

Hello. I know it’s been a while. Let me tell you why. Last post was about my returning to study. I seemed to be hassled by hurdle and hiccup after hurdle and hiccup. You name it, it got in the way of me actually getting there and studying. Stubbornly, I kept going, trying hard to [...]

Hello Feeling the end of year blahs today and something caught my memory from a while back. Here’s today’s rhyme. Sometimes Christmas isn’t fun When you’re missing a loved one Your arms feel cold and empty Even when surrounded by twenty You smile and nod and float along But your heart is not in song [...]

Hello again. I’m sitting here crying. Don’t panic, I’m fine. Nothing bad has happened, just tired and emotional. I’ve had a week of highs and lows, stress and relief, good and bad news and I think it’s just met breaking point. That combined with Little Miss pushing boundaries, I’ve become worn at the seems. Today’s question: What [...]

Hello again There are many so called concerns with mums who are above average size. One of the biggest is clothing to fit but the medical community will also have you believe that you are a bad mum before the baby is even born. (Cue perinatal depression.) Add to this the referral to a larger [...]

My work is amazing. It’s a privilege to be a part of the process, something some midwives and obstetricians forget. I get to see mums blossom and new babies. I get to feel babies in their mummy’s bellies when others don’t and appreciate the magic that it is. But with all the happiness, sometimes there [...]
