Because as it was, I stayed in the position I was in, took six months off, went back working full time, not getting paid an editor's salary, not getting the editor's glory.
So I could have done it.
My doubting myself about that was wrong.
So as I say, it's not a regret, but it was I think my instincts on that decision weren't right because I didn't know what I could do.
I don't think, I think I just didn't want to be pregnant and a new mom and have the job.
It's not that I didn't want them.
It's not that, so I didn't say I'm pregnant.
What do you think?
I said, I'm pregnant.
So no, I'm not going to take the job.
Right.
So it wasn't, and there was another opportunity that came along the next time I was pregnant.
Clearly things happen at the same time.
When I did the other way and I didn't say no, I said, yes, but you need to know I'm pregnant.
And funnily the phone never rang after that.
But it is interesting because I think I underestimated myself and what I was capable of in terms of balancing work and family, which I had to do anyway, as I say.
But in the scheme of things, I don't regret it.
You know what I don't want?
Because she was like, I don't want to be answering emails at 4am like this other senior staffer that I know.
I don't want to be doing that.
