Milk and Madness

Did you have any expectations about what being a Mum was going to be like? We definitely did. Some expectations were correct, but many caught us by surprise! Join us as we chat through the early stages of becoming a Mum - our expectations, the reality, as well as some advice and tips on what worked for us.

Key takeaways: 
- Just because being a mum is a natural thing, doesn't mean it's going to be easy, or come naturally! 
- It can be hard not to compare your experience with what you see portrayed in social media, from what friends and family have said, and also, from what you were expecting 
- One big surprise for us both was breastfeeding - and how difficult it is. No one warned us about it! 
- Your identity changes when you become a mum, you go through a lot of changes, and things like your friendship group can change as well 
- Going off maternity leave and returning to work was the hardest thing about parental leave - and the mum guilt around this lingers 
- As a new mum, there'll be a lot of times were you second guess yourself - get advice, but also try to listen to your gut
