Never did I think I would be sitting here typing out the title of this blog post and yet here we are. I almost made it to 41 but I went Ito labour a little earlier than expected.
Since I was in my early 20s, I knew that I never wanted kids. What I’ve come to realise is that my refusal to have children came from a mixture of childhood trauma, unhealthy societal pressure and a bunch of other issues that took me many years to sort through. However once I did, I realised I did in fact want children. We were blessed with our first child when I was 38 after a previous miscarriage, and 2.5 years later we welcomed our second child into the world at 40. I won’t lie, I sometimes need to pinch myself to realise how truly blessed I am to have the life I do, with such my supportive husband and my two beautiful children. It’s a life I never thought I’d have given all the issues I’d run into so I certainly don’t take what I have for granted.
When it comes to the topic of pregnancy I have a lot of thoughts, which I shared in the video linked down below as I did my makeup. I’m really enjoying just doing my makeup on camera as I chat about topics close to my heart or things I’m working on so this could become a more regular thing 🙂
