4. Life doesn’t always go to plan
• HELLP syndrome at 24 weeks’
pregnant (rare, life-threatening
pregnancy complication – can cause
multiple organ failure unless baby is
born).
• My son Hugo weighed just 420
grams (about the same size as
a tin of baked beans)
• Hugo lived for 35 days.
• He was too small, and
premature. His treatment was
withdrawn.

5. Life after…
• Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress
disorder
• Getting appropriate treatment took more
than two years
• Trying to find a ‘new normal’, a way of
living a life unexpected
• A long period of time away from work
• At one point I thought I would not work
again.
#beingvisible
6. Now…
• Today, I am doing a
job I love
• I am a campaigner
and patient leader -
#HugosLegacy
#MatExp
• While there are
challenges,
I am thriving
