Julia’s story bringing Lucia, Fiamma and Lorenzo into the world

Julia’s story, bringing Lucia, Fiama and Into the world  I met Julia through the wonderful instagram community that is instagram. I love nothing more than connecting with people on this platform, so it was a real honour that so many if you applied to participate and that I finally got to meet someone in person.  This is the first in person chat I had so bear with us fumbling on technology.  Julia is the kid of warm person you meet once and feel like you have known for a life time after just an hr or two. It’s no surprise to me that she has 3 kids as she feels so kind and maternal to be around, I left her presence just wanting to give her a big hug which I think we did.  We talk about what its like to have 3 kids. She really sold the good parts to me and I was left with her comments about letting this go on the days that seem a real challenge. Something I really struggle with and I am sure everyone can relate to. We also talk about how having gestational diabetes affected her journey and how that made her feel as someone who describes herself as over weight.  She has some great insight, really uplifting birth stories and great connections to her kids names that really made me think about the connection of my own kids names to their stories and personalities.  Thanks Julia for your honesty, warmth and kindness. I hope to see you again soon.
