Can I do this?
Should I do this?
When’s the right time to do this?
Is there a right time to do this?
Maybe it’s the wrong time to do this?
What if it’s too late to do this?
What if it’s too soon to do this?
What will happen if I do this?
What will happen if don’t do this?
Will I make a mistake if I do this?
Will I succeed if I do this?
Is it just me that can’t do this?
Does anyone else do this?
Does everyone do this?
I’m not sure I can do this?
Should I go ahead and do this?
No, I can’t do this?
I can totally do this?
I really want to do this?
Why am I scared to do this?
It’s too hard to do this?
What if I never do this?
I have to do this.
I will do this.
I won’t do this.
I must do this.
Before I can’t,
Do this.

Christine lives with her husband and son (a wonderful and lively five year old) on the outskirts of Glasgow. After some time out to become ‘tinmum’ (titanium fused spine – Sia eat your heart out), she has been teaching Theology and Philosophy, volunteering for Pregnancy Sickness Support and writing whenever she can. At the end of 2017, Christine decided to make the leap creating a blog – tinmumblog.com writing about the minefield that is motherhood. She also tried where possible to help raise awareness of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) – an illness she suffered throughout her pregnancy, which is still vastly misunderstood.
