Tuesday September 28th 2016 started as a normal day but for me but there was an added excitement - I was almost 22 weeks pregnant and it was the day of my anomaly scan with my consultant in the hospital. Today I get to see my baby up on the big screen bouncing around.

Off I went into work as usual and at our daily morning meeting I informed the team I would be leaving the office at 2pm because ‘I had a date with my baby’.
