I put off having kids until my mid-30s because of my career and had 9 miscarriages. No one tells you how hard it is.

• Harriet Kelsall spent her 20s and early 30s focused on building a successful jewellery business. 
• She  started trying for kids at 34 after overcoming her fears about childcare options. 
• Kelsall has two healthy children, but experienced miscarriages and exhaustion as an older parent. 

I've never been someone who was always thinking about kids, but I assumed I might want them someday.

I got married at 28. By 30, I was ready for kids, but I was also running my own business, Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery, which I started at 27 in 1998.
