A Birthday In Hospital (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before we get started, some very important admin! ’ newsletter recently alerted me to the fact that if you upgrade your subscription on the Substack iOS app, Apple automatically adds a 30% surcharge, which means a monthly subscription to Slowly Does It jumps from £5 to £6.50. If you’re one of the subs who has had this charge, I’d encourage you to cancel on the app and upgrade on the browser.

How I've Dressed (And Bought Less) During Pregnancy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in my first trimester when I was in the depths of all-day sickness and miscarriage scare anxiety, I scoured Substack for articles about how to dress during pregnancy and was taken aback by the level of consumption that was being pushed.
