My long term career goal is not to be as senior as possible, it’s to work as little as possible, with as much flexibility as possible, for as much money as possible. So I can enjoy being a parent and be present.

I’m not one to share personal news but yesterday I went into surgery to have my fallopian tubes removed due to my endometriosis. (This would render me infertile). The NHS surgeons and team managed to save both my fallopians tubes and remove a large portion of my stage 3 endo.💙

Currently UK NHS nurses are striking for fair pay. I had to go into hospital alone and surgery alone due to COVID regulations. The treatment I received from these nurses was so heartwarming. They stayed with me at every moment, and I can’t thank or support them enough.

@ashindestad LOOOL just because the boundary for a 2:1 is lower doesn't mean it's any easier to get. These lecturers grade on a purely subjective basis (imo) and expect us to write as experts off the back of mediocre teaching, limited resources and books written by said lecturers.

I think part of the issue is men haven’t adapted as fast as women have. Women are working, providing for themselves… Many men have not adapted to this. They’re still expecting a partner to homemake and nurture whilst contributing 50% financially.

Before you get pregnant you really need to discuss your plan/values (as a couple) for pregnancy, maternity leave and return to work. You need to cover all scenarios as well (sick leave etc). In a modern couple who are both working, this is not just the woman's role/concern.

This is why it takes so long to be diagnosed with Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, PCOS or Fibroids! Ladies please check your symptoms if you have painful periods and heavy bleeding and don’t allow your GP to dismiss this as “normal”. 🙏🏽
i think uterine fibroids are so severely under-diagnosed because there’s a mentality that having a period means you’re healthy and that heavy bleeding and blinding cramps are just the price you pay for being able to reproduce.
