Spent yesterday mopping feverish toddler's brow so didn't share this. Two years in and I'm still finding it so difficult to articulate what it means to be a mother: pain, joy, and everything in between. Happy, er, mother's day! @thesundaytimes thetimes.co.uk/article/6ca77…

I am always bowled over by the raw and beautiful way @Cathman describes the struggle of early motherhood. She wrote this powerful piece for @CosmopolitanUK for #MaternalMentalHealthMonth cosmopolitan.com/uk/body/a60…
