I thought I would co-sleep and that lasted no time at all. After years of having my sleep disrupted I am known as "mama bear" or "she who mustn't be touched or woken when sleeping".

I never in my life thought I would be a midwife (not strictly a parenting choice but stemming from it).

I thought I would try to breastfeed, and ended up lasting almost 2 years with the twins

I thought I would be a great stay at home mum, and I gave it a good shot but I love being away from my kids for my career. I like getting home but I find it so freeing going elsewhere and I never thought that would be the case for me.
