Dyad: 'Two individuals or units regarded as a pair. (noun) The mother- daughter dyad." Growing up I thought a family looked like the traditional nuclear family- mum, dad & kids but I was wrong. This is our version of family: At the end of 2019, I found myself pregnant for the first time and heading into parenthood on my own. I never expected to go into 2020 doing pregnancy, an unexpected complicated labour and the fourth trimester all during a global pandemic. This is my journey into solo parenthood, sharing the stories around pregnancy, labour and motherhood we all try to hide!
