Emily Atack continued by writing that she understood a lot of things about her body on this journey and that she was planning to return home as soon as possible.

"We can already sense the baby is reclined on a mattress of peanut butter and jam sandwiches in there, demanding more chocolate buttons. I'm so happy to be writing all of this to you all. You've always stuck by me through the years, do stick around to watch me enter my mum era."
