So a bit about me, I am thirty two years of age, I am married to without a doubt the very best guy I know, and we have a beautiful baby boy who was born in July 2014.

Our son is the light of my life and despite it being a long journey to get here, there is not a day that passes by that I do not kick myself for how blessed I am. I had a really terrible pregnancy and a very traumatic birth, but despite this I love my little boy like nothing else in this world and since him arriving I can honestly say that my life is generally pretty darn perfect.

I wanted to write this blog because over the past two years I have come to realise how little people, in particular women, talk about the hardships of getting pregnant, of being pregnant, of giving birth and of being a mum. I felt really alone in my journey to getting where I am today because of this and I guess I just want to share in my experiences and share my story with others who have maybe gone through similar, or who are maybe going through it now so they know that they aren’t alone. And that life is sometimes just pretty tough and that’s okay.

Despite everything we have gone through I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Everyone has a unique journey and as I said I just want to share mine. If for no other reason than just to get people talking because no matter the journey you are on you not alone.
