A 1 year old in Amsterdam. What could go wrong?

Baby Brain!! Is it a real thing or just your normal brain with an excuse?

I missed an appointment, lost my notebook twice, and forgot every question I had for the doctor. Turns out there's an actual reason for pregnancy brain, it's not quite what people think.

Baby Perfume. Would you or wouldn't you?

I have questions...but if you’re pondering egg freezing, navigating fertility treatments, or simply intrigued by the saga of a late-stage motherhood story? Platinum Mum has you covered.

I never really thought I was that competitive?

Moving is fun when pregnant and its the 4th time in 6 months!!

At 28 weeks I moved again from the historic, jungle like Crystal Palace Park into central London proper: Bloomsbury, W1s bookish cousin with garden squares and Georgian facades. It was beautiful and I loved being there as it added excitement to pregnancy life by providing options.

Gooey tip for my fellow c-section mamas. Grab yourself a tube of Pawpaw Ointment. It costs practically nothing, looks seductively 'pragmatic' on the bathroom shelf, and works better than anything else I've tried. I don't mind the scar but it helps with dryness and the scritch. Also good for lips and puppa tootsies. Just a heads up on something that worked for moi. 😂🌿 https://amzn.to/4fVvcxT

A continuation of the journey and moving house again...fun times with 4 months to go

Eighteen years ago I froze my eggs. Now, in my 50s, I'm using them. Pregnant for the first time, doing it as a single woman, and building an alternatives channel along the way. I share the story.

Fortnum & Mason Rose & Violet creams just dropped by and the little man fast-crawled over to investigate. I will always respect his chocolate hustle but he's still not getting any. Sorry cherub, you're 10 months old. 🌹💜🍫
