What the Mum!I struggled with pregnancy, I didn’t like the loss of control over my bodyEveryone’s experience of motherhood is different. Some women get pregnant straight away. Some women sail through their pregnancy. Some women’s babies behave according to the textbook. The truth is, motherhood is a mix of highs and lows. The trick is to just be in the moment because this too will pass.

What the Mum!We never had the support from the beginningWhen I first became a mum, I remember feeling safe and secure in the knowledge that there were many people around me whom I could turn to for help.
The best thing was that my mum and sister, who already had two children, were just down the road.
What if that isn’t the case?
What if you have no one around you? You’re alone and your only connection is via a landline phone.
