Trina’s illustration on diabetes during pregnancy

Trina writes us:

“Hi, Lilla! This was an illustration for Midwives Magazine. The article was about monitoring women with diabetes during pregnancy. It wasn’t about massive interventions or anything just treading lightly but being aware…hence the stepping stones. I liked the idea that the three trimesters of pregnancy can relate to three seasons so I showed the woman passing through from early spring to late autumn.

The family I used to be a nanny for in London have a beautiful series of photographs in a frame of the mother as she progressed through her first pregnancy….and I remember being as fascinated by her changing hair cuts and seasonal outfits over the nine months as her changing shape!”
