• Eliza’s birth story – an unexpectedly quick induction of labour

    May 5, 2012

    I thought I’d post my induction of labour birth story (a propess induction story) today to coincide with International Midwife Day.

  • Eliza, one month

    March 12, 2012

    So Eliza is now a month old –  and what a month it’s been. The three of us celebrated this mini-milestone in style with cake and a few choruses of Happy Birthday. Having a baby is everything everyone’s told you, and at the same time, nothing like it at all: it’s relentless, unpredictable, good, not…
