Hi everyone my name is Bella. I am 21 years old and a mum to one boy called James-Iain. I am married and live in Scotland with my husband John and my baby, James. I also have two budgies called Martini and Daiquiri. Me and my husband met when we were 12 years old and got married in 2018 and then found out we were expecting our first child in may 2019. 

I had a pretty normal pregnancy despite being overweight but a horrific birth and recovery. James was born in December 2019 after me being induced. Becoming a first time mum was amazing but also really really scary. There’s so many things that people don’t tell you about being a parent and so many things you have to find out on the job which is stressful. 

I want to change that. I want everyone to feel they have all the information they need to be a good a prepared parent. 

So I will be sharing what I know and my experiences. The good, the bad and the ugly I will tell you everything. 

I think it’s so wrong that pregnancy and birth are taboo subjects that are often thought as disgusting and ugly. This needs to change! The journey to becoming a mother is a miracle and what the female body is made for. Pregnancy and birth are beautiful and something that we should be talking about more often. 

So I hope you will enjoy my little blog and learn something that will help you along the way.
