Yes yes yes! to post-pregnancy care. I have been talking recently (some would say banging on!) about this as I feel really let down by health care providers. I am lucky to be able to ask questions and demand but, as always, my mind immediately flicks to those women who do not have the time or resources to do this. What happens to them if this is what is happening to me??!! I don't want to pee every time I sneeze or walk down the stairs for the next 40 years! It's the damned patriarchy. They want us to pee so we don't have time to over throw them because we have to change our knickers. No more, I say!

It is the damn patriarchy! No more! I would jump up in protest but I might piss myself but I am championing all of this from a sitting position.

As a former tax specialist, loved your tax advice - especially number 40! As a new subscriber I'd personally prefer more words less frequently, but happy to see how it goes.

Thanks for doing this, I value your work and it's good to be able to contribute.

Ha! Thank you! Yes, we can just see how it goes. I've had a mix of feedback so I figure I'll try this for a bit and see how it goes. We can always go back. Thank you for your support!

You’re a haven of sanity and warmth Emily. I ‘love’ you.As a 65 year old (mad) mother and grandmother you refresh my thinking with your wise intelligent loving quirky voice in the shitstorm as you so ‘delightfully’ express it.

I admire the way you gently chide your respondents from time to time... not quite like the remonstrance I once heard “ Fuck off” he explained.
