The Honest Twin Diaries: The 1% Epidural Risk
“I just need to tell you about the risks involved.” The anaesthetist’s voice was like background music to the painful contraction that was rippling through my body.

My Thoughts on Maternity Leave
I was four days off finishing work when I felt my waters break at four in the morning. It wasn’t a huge gush like you see in the movies, so I […]

What I’m working on in 2022
