I love reading your work brain versus your mother brain. I am new to your blog, congratulations on reaching 24 weeks, from the blogs I have read this has taken A LOT of hard work. I look forward to reading more of what you've written already and what you'll write. xx
Thank you for all of your kind words on my work Sheila. I’ve found so much validation and healing from sharing my journey - I’m so glad you took the leap to start your Substack you won’t regret it. It’s such a powerful way of creating whilst your yearned for creation seems so far away. Anything that allowed me to create helped so much over my time in the trenches x
It’s true, there’s something very cathartic about it and healing (wow my autocorrect changed it to jealousy perhaps a keyboard freudian slip). Although I’m not jealous, whenever I see a fellow infertility warrior join the other side (whatever way they manage it) it brings me so much hope and joy. But reading your this one today reminds me when I do finally stay pregnant (finger crossed) I will need to celebrate every single step! As I hope you guys are too 💗💕
It hadn’t occurred to me that the progression of a pregnancy could bring new stages of anxiety. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Your baby boy is lucky to have such a caring mama!

Thank you Liz. It’s definitely a strange one to navigate. Hoping that putting it into words helps (it usually does!)
