Caroline's story
My name is Caroline and I'm a Mammy to my first baby. She's now 13 months old today 💖.
Katrina Rose was born 1st Jan 2020 on her due date. @ 12.33pm. I had a emergency c section as cord was wrapped around her neck. With issues with my recovery I didn't begin to feel like myself till beginning of March. Lock down hit and my maternity leave was not what I had hoped for or expected. Missing out on going to baby groups and there's still some friends and family that haven't met her yet.
I work in a school went back to work in July. Summer felt like my maternity leave and that we were getting somewhere. How wrong. Now lock down 3!
