It’s that time of month again and Aunt Flo is here to irritate us again like an unwanted house guest that never seems to subside. Can periods really get better? They did for me. I’ve been wanting to talk about periods and what methods you use for a while now. For me, the last 23 years I’ve always relied on tampons and pads.

This month’s mama is dedicated to Emma @mamaandtbear – mother of 18 month old Teddy who has been diagnosed with stage 4 rare and aggressive form of cancer called Neuroblastoma.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, name, occupation, children etc. I’m Emma Mayo and I live in South East London with my fiance Jamie, my 18 month old son
