2:1 English Literature. BA (Hons)

Thank you! It was a long road (there are many a thread about my ECAs and TMAs) but it was SO WORTH IT!

I've been offline for ages!

An OU degree should take about 6 years, but I kept having babies so mine took about 10 years. Once the twins were 2 I just got on with it. Loved it. Now I'm studying to be a Lactation Consultant and once that's done I want to do my Masters. Study is VERY addictive.

I'm a doula not a midwife I started my degree before I knew I wanted to be a Doula. I love being a Doula and wouldn't change it.
