Danielle

Hi – I’m Danielle, a HR professional with over 10 years experience. Over my career, what’s stayed with me is how often employment basics still get missed – particularly at critical moments like pregnancy or return to work. When they do, it can create unnecessary complexity for both individuals and businesses. I became a volunteer to change the conversation – whether that’s being the sounding board to influence confident conversations at work, problem solving for parents who need a friendly, understanding ear or sign posting to get the right help on more serious or complex matters. As a volunteer, you don’t need to have all the answers, people just want to be heard and there’s a wonderful community to support you!

Who we are

Our vision is a world where the mothers, parents and families of today and tomorrow thrive.
But the reality right now is mothers, parents and families are repeatedly failed by systems that are supposed to help them, systems which set up unfairness and disadvantage across a lifetime. This is the motherhood penalty, and Pregnant Then Screwed exists to challenge it.

Founded on International Women’s Day in 2015, we are rooted in lived experience and driven by fearless conviction. We challenge the systems that hold mothers back so that everyone who experiences motherhood can work and care without penalty. We campaign for change, offer support and advice, and build community with parents across the UK. We do this with power, courage and love.
