Description

Reaching the end of maternity leave I made the decision to not return to my old job for an number of reasons, but instead to work for myself so that I can have flexible hours and bring up my now 9 month old son myself and within the remit of close family/friends. The last nine months have changed my outlook on life enormously.... W is my first child - I never ever imagined that being a mum could be so mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting! Prior to this, I was working for a national company and training to be a counsellor in my free time (specialising in addictions), which I will go back to in the future. Things started to go wrong at 36 weeks pregnant - We found out that our baby had stopped growing and that I would have to be induced within the week which was hugely worrying and stressful. My experience in labour was NOT a good one - I ended up with PND (the experience in labour playing a large part in it) and didn't want to know my son for the first couple of months of his life. I cared for him as needed but looking back, I was wrongly placing the blame on him for the labour when in actual fact it was totally caused by serious midwife errors - STILL fighting with a complaint). As I started getting better, and finally bonding with my son, I realised that financially I would be better off staying at home, yet I still wanted to work..... The idea of my own business as a sole trader emerged and I invested a proportion of my maternity pay in starting it up :) This shop has been started for three main reasons: 1) To earn a living in a way that I can manage at this moment in time. 2) As a counsellor, I find working with people rewarding, so I'm applying this ethos to my shop until I am ready to resume practice - aiming to offer the best service possible, and help people, just in a different way :) I also have a strong background in retail/sales from previous jobs. 3) Possibly most importantly....... as well as the financial gains, I am hoping that by speaking out about PND and traumatic labour experiences, it encourages other women to seek help if they find themselves in a similar position post delivery. Where I can, I am donating a percentage of sales to charity - Midwives Information & Resource Service (see: http://www.midirs.org/ and https://www.facebook.com/pages/MIDIRS-Midwifery-Information-Resource-Service/104835832513) which aims to improve maternity/midwifery services in the UK as this is something I feel strongly about given my experience.

1) I offer fun and quirky range of women's, Children's and babies clothes, shoes and accessories. 2) My ethos is to be honest and fair - I DO NOT make profit from P&P (my pet hate!), and therefore offer either FREE or low cost options.
