Love this! Thank you for sharing what SO many women are feeling. The career/baby battle is real and such a weight women carry - myself included. At 31, I just had my first baby earlier this year and felt like I was committing career suicide when I fell pregnant. I still don’t know what my career will look like when I return from maternity leave, but holding my baby in my arms, I don’t regret a thing. Looking forward to following your journey. 

It’s a hard no for me. Even with a nice band, I just don't think a watch, particularly a smartwatch is formal attire. 

I have just entered camel mode and am already yearning for it to end…I love my baby, but it's a lot and it takes up all my energy, there is no time for me. I longingly look at the mums who seem to be able to escape the house without their baby or go out for dinner and drinks...how they do it, I do not know! For now I'm full camel. 

I’m a few weeks behind you with my first pregnancy and feel this too! But one thing that has helped me feel at ease is having a private midwife to answer questions and steer me in the right direction and not all at once! There is a lot and some it valid, but mostly I feel like things will sort themselves out. 

Now think of this of all this, and also throw a pandemic into the mix and I was ready to be diagnosed clinically insane….

As a former elite athlete, I completely celebrate and understand Ash deciding it was time to put down the racket. It's a very rare thing to retire on your own terms as an elite athlete, very few get to do it, it's usually something that is guided by injury, age, or financial.....so good on her for knowing when it was time to walk away and doing it her way!

I'm sorry but these names are just the worst...surprised 'Earth' and 'Dirt' haven't made it on there.

Were masks outdoors still not mandatory? While the outdoors is a more safer setting surely the basic rules still should have been enforced/followed.
