Secret Diary Of A New Mum (Aged 43 1/4)

Whatever your age, becoming a mum for the first time brings with it excitment, anxiety and numerous challenges - such as total sleep deprivation. But how do you cope when, to top it all, you are old enough to be the mother of everyone else in your NCT group? The Secret Diary of a New Mum (aged 43) follows the journey of one midlife mum as she makes the transition from highly experienced TV producer, to completely inexperienced parent. Along the way she slips a disc, suffers from total exhaustion, tries to get back in shape and, when staring soulfully at her new baby, wonders what took her so long. A thoroughly entertaining, insightful and informative account of what happens when you face the menopause and new motherhood at the same time.
