Hudson McGurk
What I had always wanted most my entire life was a baby. To be a mother. I had always said if I got to 30 and hadn’t found ‘the one’ I would choose to have a child on my own. As much as I would love the typical ‘family’ I wanted the baby more than than anything. When I was 28 I thought ‘why am I waiting?... more

Elora Jane
On the Friday I was booked in for a growth scan. All was perfect and in my obstetricians words my scan was ‘lovely’. I was advised by the ultrasound technician that I may feel a little less movement because of the way Elora was facing and where the placenta was positioned. There was no overt cause for concern. I wish I never listened to those words.... more
