Blog Tour: The First Time Mum's Club - Guest Post by Lucie Wheeler
Today is my stop on the Blog Tour for Lucie Wheeler's debut, The First Time Mum's Club. It was published last week by HarperImpulse and to celebrate it, Lucie stops by to talk about being a first time mum herself:
Becoming a First Time Mum
by Lucie Wheeler
I had my daughter, Gracie, (who is generally known on socials as LO) when I was twenty years old. Which meant that I was pregnant at nineteen. Nothing unusual there, I hear you say. Well, funnily enough, I was classed as a ‘teenage parent’. This post links in a little with stereotyping because that’s what happened when I fell pregnant – I was put into the box of ‘teenage parents’ because I was nineTEEN.

This aside, my experience of being a first time mum was, as I imagine most people, a rollercoaster of emotions. We were ecstatic about being pregnant but I do remember one evening, just weeks before LO was born, sitting on my husband’s lap (whilst 9 months pregnant – poor hubby!) and sobbing. When he asked why, I replied, “I actually have to give birth to this baby – there’s no other way it’s coming out of me! I can’t do it!” Needless to say, I did.


But after the first two weeks, something clicked. I couldn’t tell you what that was or why, but the crying stopped, the impending sense of fear stopped and I felt great. I looked at this little bundle of joy in my arms and knew that I loved her with all my heart and that she was the most incredible and important thing in my life.
And now, 10 years later, I look at her and think… wow, we made you.

Blurb: Meet Pippa…
After years of trying and a failed IVF attempt, Pippa is thrilled to see two little lines appear on a pregnancy test. Finally a precious baby to call her own. This is all Pippa has ever wanted…if only husband Jason could show just a little excitement.
Imogen…
A baby is the icing on the cake for Imogen and Alice – proof that their love for each other can overcome any obstacle. But when Imogen starts receiving malicious texts, it's clear that not everyone is thrilled about the girls' good news.
And Ellie…
A drunken one-night stand and Ellie's life is ruined! Pregnant, jobless and the relationship with her best friend, Chris, over- forever. Because Chris just happens to be the father of Ellie's baby…and potentially the love of her life!
For these first time mums the road to motherhood is bumpier than most!
