Each Christmas, my husband makes a year in review book from our WhatsApp photos. It is my favourite present and it is incredibly mundane.

To the fantastic girl with a full head of massive rollers in her hair on the train: may your curls be BEAUTIFUL for your Xmas party this evening. You’re an absolute hero.

When I was a kid I thought the Elgin marbles was a bag of marbles.

#BLAW exists to help spread awareness of baby loss, for those who haven't had direct experience. We know for these people, baby loss can be a taboo subject.

With this in mind, we asked our community what they wish more people knew about baby loss. Read what they said below:

Doctors should not be having to do this. This country must rethink its breastfeeding policy: it is hurting babies and shaming mothers

And now for something completely different, This is the cover for my upcoming non-fiction book, I Promise It Won’t Always Hurt Like This - 18 Assurances on Grief. Next year marks 18 years since my son died and it turned out I had things to say about grief and the passing of time.

Just a reminder, under this government gynaecology waiting lists have risen faster than any other specialty since the pandemic. The number waiting more than a year for care is the highest it’s ever been. EVER. But sure, ‘woke ideology’ and inclusive language is the problem.

Seriously now. I am a clinician scientist working in reproductive biology & maternity care and this is 100% nonsense. There is no such thing as 'woke science' there is science, that should challenge us and make us think. It may even increase our understanding. Please do better.

I’m so very grateful for this book, Jennie Agg. Not only have you been able to put into words my experiences, which I’ve struggled to do so far, but I feel so much more informed and empowered about my experiences - something that has been lacking until now. Thank you

New episode out today. A personal one for me - how to talk about #miscarriage with the amazing Jennie Agg

describing women who clean and run a house, look after multiple children and source and prepare food for a spouse as “not working” is surely one of the most successful conspiracies of the 20th century

Thanks ladies for having me on your brilliant podcast. (I don’t think I’ve been called a powerhouse before, but I like it!)
