Pregnancy, parenting and beyond. PC need not apply!

I've never blogged before and I'm sure that this will be obvious to whoever ends up reading this. But hey ho, I don't care.

I've wanted to do this for such a long time that I have made it my New Year's resolution (likely the only one I will do). I want to put myself out there and say what most people are thinking. And yup, I know that is exactly what blogging is about and that I'm stating the obvious. :-)

I work within the birthing community and I'm a parent. I don't always get to say what I think since I have made it my mission to not only support women and their families and their choices but to help others respect those choices too. As a parent I've chosen to do the play dates and the volunteering when I can, smile politely and not punch another parent when their kid has done something to mine.

I love my work and my family, but bloody hell, I get really tired of being so PC and nice at work and on school runs. I want to write about what I'm thinking and generally about the quirky and humours side of pregnancy, parenting and beyond while staying honest, even if it means I have to tell you that no, your bits don't go back exactly as they started off, and that yes I love my child, but sometimes I don't want to be mummy. I just want to be me (with a very large glass of wine in my hand) xx
