The more our leaders, and our bosses, are reflective of us and our experiences, the more society will become geared to helping, rather than hindering, working parents. Just imagine! Here’s my dream of what the future of being a working mum could look like:

1. Pregnant women would be gifted shiny office thrones which cool down or heat up depending on your hormonal inclination that day and have sick bags in the arm rest. Oh, and a comedy punching attachment for whenever someone attempts to touch your stomach. Alongside this absolute necessity, pregnant employees would also be able to do the following: Go to assigned midwife appointments without shedding three stone of sweat trying to negotiate the 7am slot. Not feel the need to work twice as hard for fear of becoming one of the three quarters of pregnant women and new mothers who experience discrimination. Not feel the need to assure anyone that yes, they will be returning to work.
