Me and My Body

I never used to struggle with body image.  I wasn’t skinny, but I’d accepted I wasn’t going to be.  Nature had made me curvy and muscular and even when I lost weight that didn’t change.  I never aspired to look like a super model. But, in recent years, things have changed.  I’ve gained quite a […]

The Reality of Breast-Pumping

One of the reviewers for Early Daze wondered if it was realistic to have Jess hand-expressing in the early days after Samantha was born.  I can promise you that it is.  Although fortunately I didn’t have milk-production issues, all the rest of Jess’ pumping journey is drawn from personal experience.  Of course, there’s likely to […]

Deleted Scenes from Early Daze #3

SPOILERS In this last deleted scene from Early Daze, Jess and Gwen discuss Ben.  This one takes place after the other two.  The remaining part of this scene actually appears in the book. ~~~~ I call Gwen later.  Partly to check she’s got home safe.  Partly to talk about Ben. ‘So… you turned Ben down?’ […]
