I reached the 37 week milestone yesterday, which basically means that this baby could come whenever it wants now! We have been continuing to prepare for a natural birth, organising childcare for Georgie (my MIL is going to come over & watch her), adjusting the contents of my hospital bag, and re-reading the info book …
With our first pregnancy, we talked about names quite a lot, and we had favourites for both a boy and a girl from quite early on. We actually chose “Georgiana Alice” from about halfway through the pregnancy and didn’t change our mind about it being our choice for a girl from that point until the …
I had my 36 week scan today & can confirm miracles can happen! Defying the predictions and expectations of my consultants, ultrasound technicians and ourselves, my placenta has shifted out of the way and I have been cleared for a natural birth! I was diagnosed with Complete Placenta Praevia at 20 weeks and put on …
All this snow is very pretty. We have had inches and inches of the stuff now, and the roads and pavements and everything else in sight is absolutely covered in it. Today, the snow hasn’t stopped since first thing in the morning, defying the met office’s estimate of 1-2 cm to give us 5 or …
I’m now passed the 33 week mark and things are becoming harder to deal with – the fun part of pregnancy is definitely fading away & the anxious countdown to the end beginning. My SPD is still playing up; it is a lot worse if I have been doing a lot – I did lots …
With a second baby on the way and Georgie not yet two, James and I have been considering our options when it comes to pushchairs. Ideally we wanted to avoid buying a double buggy as (a) I just don’t like them and (b) they cost a lot of money for something you don’t use for …
It seems hard to believe that I am now 30 weeks pregnant, and Christmas is just around the corner. I am now into the third trimester and things are definitely becoming more difficult – my hips and pelvis have started to become quite stiff and painful, and getting up from the bed or sofa can …
As I continue through my second trimester, I am well aware that things are going to be harder to juggle in my third. With an increasingly active toddler on my hands and a rapidly growing bump I have been trying to get things sorted out for the new baby, as well as preparing for Christmas! …
I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by! Apart from the CPP drama everything seems to be ticking along fairly well. After several weeks of not being allowed to lift anything heavy (including our little scamp) I have finally gotten used to thinking before doing, and so have been behaving very well as per …
Feeling brave today so I thought I’d share a photo of myself and my expanding waistline! I think I’m actually starting to look pregnant, not just fat… especially in this bump flattering outfit of a joe browns tunic top (must buy more – the tunic nicely hides the wobbly fat bits below the growing bump!) …
