I finished my last blog talking about the comment from strangers mainly who tell me how lucky we are in reference to having one of each. As you know this is a loaded statement for me as I know just how very lucky we are to have Kayden and Layla at home and in ourContinue reading “Precious Moments”

The ones that really count
I have always stated that one of the main reasons I write my blog is to raise awareness around pregnancy loss and hope that it will become a less taboo subject one day. Generally I am quite robust and resilient and I understand that people will make comments based on a lack of understanding orContinue reading “The ones that really count”
The Burrow Twins Arrival!
It’s been a long time since I wrote, mainly because I haven’t found the time but also because I was unsure how to put these words into print. The details in this blog will be very hazy and I needed time to process my thoughts and feelings before I shared the twins story. I haveContinue reading “The Burrow Twins Arrival!”
How long do you have left?
Since being pregnant I have been self isolating due to the pandemic and it has been mainly winter weather time meaning I have been wrapped up and not so on display. So the bump has not been as obvious and of course it also took a while for it to blossom. In the last monthContinue reading “How long do you have left?”
Safety Manual and Guarantee
I don’t mind admitting that I have been having a few little breakdowns to close friends and a professional midwife. I am sure on the whole some of my anxiety is normal at this stage in pregnancy and with the realities of bringing them home being so close. However I know for a fact thatContinue reading “Safety Manual and Guarantee”
Third Trimester
I recently heard an analogy regarding the third trimester and it resonated with me. I want to take you back to the Brownlee Brothers running the marathon, I think we all remember that image of one brother carrying the other across the finish line. Third trimester feels very similar to me. I have the finishContinue reading “Third Trimester”

I am writing this blog from the hospital. I had to come here yesterday and stay the night. I had got out of the bath and while putting my nightie on and applying the bio oil, I felt something fall out of my vagina. To my horror there was blood on the carpet. In aContinue reading “Blood and Tears”
Too Posh to Push!
I am unsure who originally phrased Caesarean section (c-section) as a woman being too posh to push but as April is C section awareness month it feels appropriate to write and challenge some perceptions around this. It is also feels apt as we have been given our date for C section in the month ofContinue reading “Too Posh to Push!”
Viability
It’s official we are now 24 weeks pregnant. I have spoken before about the medical terminology and how both Neil and I have struggled with it in the past. In particular I struggle with the fact that Kora and Ava were medically labelled as non viable. This is because a baby under 24 weeks isContinue reading “Viability”
Pregnant in a pandemic
Neil and I know how blessed we are to be pregnant and we of course embarked on this knowing there was a pandemic. However we did this due to my age and because we had been trying long before Covid existed. There was also light at the end of the tunnel or so we allContinue reading “Pregnant in a pandemic”
