On todays episode I talk with Holly, who is a first time Mum to 13 month old, Allegra.

Holly's motherhood journey started with a carefully managed pregnancy and birth, due to being a type 1 diabetic. She went on to have a really beautiful breastfeeding journey and we talk about the benefits of breastfeeding in regards to diabetes.

Holly shares the grief and added complexities that occured during her pregnancy as a result of her Father-in-law being diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, and at the same time her Mother-in-law being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers.

Taking on the care for her in-laws in addition to having a newborn contributed to Holly seeking help for postnatal anxiety.
