The post Postnatal Depression appeared first on Mummys Bubble.

Since turning 30 in October, I have seen my last few months spiral out of control. I have realised that I am one of those people that need to be in control.

Once upon an age ago, 2am signalled the end of the night at my local grotty rock club.

The only medicine that came with a plastic syrup syringe was Calpol and I’m so glad we had one. It’s so much more convenient especially when Z needs something … Continue Reading
