And what a gift to motherhood that was.

I remember thinking like from a professional sense, I don't have to say no to this because I've had a baby.

Everyone has to say no.

everyone had to show up online.

And it was so, it was such a leveler for me.

I was like, great, I don't have to refuse this opportunity.

In fact, everyone is put on a level playing field.

And all I could think was how amazing it would be if we didn't have to make sacrifices to either work or our children.

And so with my son, I have literally brought him everywhere with me

That has meant the most incredible amount of physical sacrifice.

But equally, I feel like I've gotten the liberation from that that I probably needed, which was that I'm not going to leave him behind.

But it's so strange because he's now...

22 months so he's gonna be at two in July he's still exclusively breastfed won't take a bottle so I put him down for every nap every bedtime and I do have to go on a trip next week and it'll be my first time ever leaving him and I don't know what to do with myself I really don't it's like I can't I can't prepare um and everyone's like surely he's big enough now he's nearly two and I'm like he is a

baby he's a baby and we all we rush to you know people want them to be rushed well you've done your nine months maternity you've done your one year maternity

As if a switch.

And I remember because the day, I was quite cavalier about going back to work for my first, because I didn't know.

I didn't know what it was going to mean.

So they said, how long are you planning on taking off?

And I said, oh, just nine months.

And in reality, actually, I used my maternity leave to start fertility.
