Thankyou for that article Mia. I have been feeling so sad and achy and yuck for so long. Why do I think I have to put up with it? Well that is a good question and thanks for saying that. I’m going to book in to see the doctor about HRT.

Stay involved as much as you can or want to for the last year of primary school because high school is very impersonal and you don’t get to be involved in anything as far as school goes and no parents at the drop offs/pick ups anymore. It’s a big change! 

What if you don’t think it’s safe for your child to go back to school? There should be an option of home schooling until things start to get better. All I’ve heard from the Premier is that parents and students will be so happy for school to be back. Well that’s not the case in our house. It is very worrying.

Once he arrives you will absolutely love being a boy Mum! When I found out I was having a boy I cried because I thought I didn’t know anything about boy babies! I had thought there was a girl in there for sure! My beautiful boy is now 13 and is the most caring, kind, sensitive boy. He always gives me hugs and tells me how much he loves me. Can’t imagine it any other way. Just wait and see, you will figure it all out once you see your own beautiful boy!

Tears came to my eyes when reading this. It’s as if those words are from my own thoughts. My son is 13 years old now. I didn’t have any more children because I couldn’t do it on my own again. My partner just thinks I couldn’t cope. We are still together but the pain is always there and I feel like a bit of my heart will always be broken.
