Pregnancy is a relatively rapid period of transformation – of the body, of the mind, of life in general. While this process for some is a beautiful phase, with excitement and joy, for others this time can be riddled with anxiety, with fear and with uncertainty.

Thanks to the lovely (or not, depending on how you see it) hot weather we’ve been having lately, there have been a lot of little sailing boats and yachts going past my flat on the river. Day to day, this stretch of river is relatively busy with Uber boats going up and down as well as tug boats pulling barges which get moored together here.
