Sharing some of the untold stories of being mum to focus on the reality of life during pregnancy, after birth and as a parent with a baby.
There are great moments and tough days, there are intense emotions and it can feel overwhelming. Being a mum can be brilliant and demanding and it changes us.
By collecting stories, the project aims to:
- give you a voice, so you can anonymously share your experiences
- create an interactive space for mums to read other experiences and to share their own
- provide a greater understanding of what being as mum feels like
- ease the isolation of being a mum
- start a conversation about motherhood, about how individual it is and the impact it can have












Having a baby is a really personal time and I want to create something to reassure and normalise life being mum.
To take part, you can message me using the form below, answering as many questions as you want. Your stories will be kept anonymous so you can talk freely about your reality of being a mum.
It would be so helpful if you could share this post with other mums. And thank you so much!
