This is how you get a Midwife in NZ! There's been a severe shortage of Midwives in NZ due to low pay, little support and burn outs. If you're pregnant in NZ, finding midwife is your no'1 priority!
However you don't want to sacrifice your boundaries and compromise too much either. My hard line was that my Midwife would respect that I wanted LOOOOOTS of painkillers. I am a wimp and I hate pain. I'm so grateful to mine!
They say it takes a village to raise a kid, but what if you don't have a village? In our current world with digital isolation, and me being a bit of an introvert... I relied on internet stories of parents for support. So I'm now giving back in a humorous form!
I want to talk about the ugly side as well as the good. I hope this comic will validate fellow parents, and also give insight to parenting to people who don't have kids! I hope it makes you laugh, but at the same time makes you feel like you're not alone.
It's set in NZ so some medical information and government information may differ. Also it's in UK English!
This is my personal diary of pregnancy and parenthood, so please be aware that every pregnancy is different and may not be same as mine.
