I will take a short time out from being in Parliament when the baby is born but I'll still be doing my constituency work - just with another baby in tow.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My function in life is not to be a politician in Parliament: it is to get something done.
I have run a general election campaign pregnant and ran Ed Miliband's leadership campaign commuting to London with a new baby so I already have my system set up.
It is true that I entered parliament at the age of 23, and have now been representing the people of my constituency for over twenty years.
I was thrown into the Parliament right away. From 1976 to 1978 I was concerned with the abortion issue, later on with that of divorce.
This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
I didn't much like being in Parliament physically. I found it a bit depressing. It's very dark and heavy. I like being out and about.
Other prime ministers leave office and stay in London. I have come back with my whole family to Fife. This is where they are being brought up. It is better for them and better for me. It's great to see more of the kids.
I had almost forgotten to tell you that I have already been to the Parliament House; and yet this is of most importance. For, had I seen nothing else in England but this, I should have thought my journey thither amply rewarded.
I was not born to be prime minister, and I'm not going to stay here until the end of my life. I'm too young for that.
To every woman out there who thinks that they might like to get involved in politics or stand for parliament, I say go for it. If I can do it, so can you.
