Hi Fiona,

The prem journey certainly is one filled with amazing and beautiful people! I think it changed my perspective on life too - not only magnifying the absolute preciousness of my little family and its importance over everything else, but I don't think I could bring myself to get back into my previous social work role. I was initiating a PhD project while preg, but when my baby arrived at 27 weeks it didn't seem important any more but rather self-indulgent and I felt it was more important to be the best parent possible to my children, and to be fully available to them.

Will write a bit more later as I need to go have dinner.....
