Being a mum - my experience through pregnancy, labour and the first nine months
I gave birth to my first child in January of this year and life has completely changed for me. I've been on maternity leave since December 2017 but now that I'm getting ready to go back to work, I'm reflecting on my experience over the past 18 months. The good, the bad and the downright exhausting! Now I have to begin this post with a massive disclaimer - I don't profess to be the best mother in the world. I'm sure there are plenty of things I could do better at. But I am realistic - I get frustrated, tired, sick of my baby, just like all mums do. But I love my son more than anything in the world and I do try to always do what's best for him and appreciate our time together. Sometimes that's watching him play, other times that downing a glass of wine with dinner to get me through the rest of the night. I should also say that I have been beyond lucky with my son. He really is a good baby overall, and while we have had a few challenges they are nothin...
