Pregnancy detritus

I thought I’d removed almost all trace of my pregnancies/births from the house until I was cleaning out deep within my bathroom cupboards, as I described yesterday. Then I discovered the above – nursing pads (which I barely used, these may even be circa Keira’s era), labour aromatherapy oils given to me by a well meaning friend and I never opened (during the labour, at least!) and haemorrhoid cream because – well – I’ll say it again – my pregnancy with Riley was shocking.

I’m not sorry to say goodbye to any of these, honestly. Even the oil, which has turned and is bitter-smelling.
