Back in October, I had the honour of being invited along to an event at Facebook HQ with Tommy’s. Here we were given a sneak peak into their newest public health campaign, #SleepOnSide, and the research findings that have prompted the need for this important piece of awareness. The research study has been published today […]
Let me start off by apologising for being such a bad blogger. I haven’t posted anything about what’s been going on around here for far too long, and for that I’m sorry. But I hope this update about us going for Natural Killer Cells testing makes up for my absence. The main reason for my silence […]
This time last year I was pregnant for the third time and I was terrified. Mentally I thought I was doing ok. We’d had a six month break after Guy died, the thick fog of grief was becoming more of a mist and I had returned to work. Being pregnant again just sent me into […]
Last week baby charity, Tommy’s, launched a new campaign called #AlwaysAsk. The purpose of the campaign is to help empower pregnant women to trust their instincts when they feel something may be wrong and speak to their midwife. Tommy’s have teamed up with Baby Centre and Kings College London to produce some important videos and advice […]
Many of us feel so alone when experiencing miscarriage. Some women don't know how to talk about what they've been though, some don't wish to talk about it all all. Then there are others who actively seek out support from people who have been through it. Those who have found support networks, be it online or in […]

The Tommy’s Awards celebrates individuals who have survived unimaginable heartbreak, family members and professionals who have provided invaluable support, and those who have inspired and supported others despite their own loss. Along with celebrating the companies who make […]
This Sunday, 26th March, is Mother’s Day. It is my second Mother’s Day. To the majority of the outside world, I will not be recognised as or acknowledged as a mother. Why would I? I don’t look like a typical mother. There are no children running around my feet, drawing on my walls and giving me sleepless […]
The end of this month marks two years since we miscarried our first pregnancy. Two years since we were thrown into the world of pregnancy loss. Two years, four pregnancy losses later and it feels like we are no closer to getting our ‘take home baby’. This last miscarriage has hit me a little harder […]
Throughout this journey for our Rainbow Baby, I made a promise that I would remain open and honest about our experiences. I apologise if this blog makes no sense, or reads like a load of nonsense. I know I could probably cut a long story short, but I felt the best way to process the last […]
So, I’m not sure how this has happened, but it appears I have been shortlisted for the “Mum’s voice” award, at the Tommy’s awards 2017! Feeling so many emotions right now. Absolutely honoured to start with. I’m stunned, excited, overwhelmed and been crying happy tears since getting the email. The Tommy’s “Mum’s voice award” celebrates […]
