About 'She Carries The World'

Hi, I'm Gemma!

I'm the creator and founder of 'She Carries The World'.

In 2025, at the age of 36 and a lifetime of thinking it wouldn’t happen - I was pregnant.

I found myself feeling overwhelmed trying to maintain a normal work and social life, staying fit and healthy, slotting in midwife appointments and trying to remember things I needed to do (all whilst learning new and often daunting things about what was to come).

My head was taking a beating - I wasn’t resting or sleeping well, I had feelings of constant failure that I was forgetting things that I normally wouldn’t, not keeping on top of work with fatigue, seeing friends less and less. I had no clue what I was doing, when I should be doing things and quite quickly things suddenly felt unbearable.

As a stationery nerd and list maker - I spent countless hours trawling the internet, looking for something that could help me get on track and feel more me! What I found didn’t feel right.

Everything I found either focused on generic daily 'to-do’s’, appointment pages on one page, just not specific enough. Or they were more focussed on the cutesy, mumsy side of being pregnant with 'guess your babies weight’, a cravings list (why?) and whilst I think it’s fun to know that my baby is the size of an orange at 15 weeks, none of this extra information was helpful to reducing my stress!

What mattered most to me seemed to be missing so I thought that it was time to create something to support me, exactly how I wanted it. A rough draft of the 'She Carries the World - 52 weeks of you and me' planner was born.

It helped me to create space in my life to feel like myself again, just be pregnant, not feel stressed over overwhelmed and got me back on track with a healthier mind! I’ve been lucky enough to turn my draft planner a reality in the hope to support other mums-to-be navigate their day-to-day journey of being pregnant.

I hope my planner helps you, as much as it helped me
