That's why I am writing this book - to tell you that becoming a parent isn't always the journey we expect it to be, and to share with you my unexpected path into motherhood. It's a route that I hope no one else has to walk, but sadly I know that they do. So I am sharing our story to help them feel less like the only ones, and to hopefully help other people understand a little more about what being Teddy's mum has been like for me. Think of it as a parenting manual for the unlucky.
