Motherhood involves so many shared experiences – but it’s also a completely individual and unique journey for each of us.

We all have different challenges to overcome. One of the most important things we can do is to share our stories with each other. We all need to know that others go through difficulties and come out stronger. Real life stories are so much more interesting than fiction, and everyday normal mums have some of the most interesting and poignant stories of all. Of course, not everyone wants to have their personal story broadcast to the public, but you can choose to stay anonymous if you wish. The most important thing is to share your experience. It may just make someone else, who is at the beginning of their journey, feel that much more positive and hopeful.

To share your story, simply fill in the form with your details. You don’t need to be a professional or polished writer to do this. Simply write what is in your heart, and we at 2under3 can help you to edit your story if you wish. You can include a photo if you choose – of yourself, your children or of anything that is relevant to your journey (it may be an organisation which helped you or we can help you to find something suitable).
