Chloe wrote: “The thing I was most apprehensive about my whole pregnancy? It wasn’t the childbirth, which I was quietly certain would go to plan.
“It wasn’t the fact we were moving house at 37 weeks. It was breastfeeding, which I was absolutely certain would fall apart for me in a matter of days, if not hours, like it did for so many friends and family members of mine.

“What I learned throughout my pregnancy, and what I’ve learned since in the postnatal period, is not to take your body personally (even though your visceral reaction will likely tell you to). Don’t do it.
“Don’t think that because you expect your body to do something, it will, and don’t think you should attach any kind of emotion to that whatsoever.”
She added: “I could never have predicted that I’d end up getting an emergency C-section, or why, and I could never have predicted that breastfeeding would come so naturally to both my body and my baby.
