She's Having Her Baby

‘I’d really like to prescribe you a short course of anti-depressants,’ she said at last.
No. Just no.
‘There’s got to be something else,’ I pleaded. ‘Some sort of juice cleanse or tai-chi exercises or something?’
‘Well, do you get out much? Mix with other mums?’
And just how on earth did she expect me to find the time for that? As it was, looking after Coco left me with barely enough time to do my internet shopping, check Instagram and catch up on daytime TV. I was supposed to fit socialising in there too?
‘There’s a very nice playgroup near you – Happy Mummies. They’re a very supportive social group.’ She tore a slip of paper off a pad on her desk and scrawled the details across it. ‘I’d like you to give it a try, just for a few weeks. Then come back and see me and we’ll assess how things are going.’
She passed me both Coco and the slip, and I took them gingerly from her hands.
‘You never know. You might actually enjoy it,’ she said with a half smile. ‘You two might make some friends.’
Well, duh, that part was a given: we could, make friends in a heartbeat. What wasn’t there to love about us?
