In September 2023 I began my Master’s Degree. I was 7 months postpartum with my second born at the time. The course was part time and online so I could juggle motherhood alongside it.
Little did I know what I’d experience throughout it and I still question how I even managed to complete it. The mental challenges were REAL.
Having a miscarriage, getting married, returning to work and then a full term, high risk pregnancy and being 4 months postpartum when I submitted my dissertation really made me realise I can truly achieve something if I set my mind on it.
Would I do it again if I knew all of those life events would happen during it? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
But it shows that having kids doesn’t mean your life is over. You can still do and achieve things for yourself. It’s just in a different way to the norm with a lot more stress!
