Trying to stay sane!
How on earth are we at Week 28 already? The days seem to be whizzing by and it only feels like yesterday that I was at my first scan and saw a little 6week old blob on the screen, still too small to even see a heartbeat. It still shocks me to think that in [...]
Today was a relatively good day to start off with. The children weren’t overly bad this morning, my hospital appointment went well, ran a few errands and then the heaven’s opened as I collected J and K from school and things just seemed to go down hill from there. We had to pop in to [...]
Today was the day of my Consultant appointment. I didn’t feel great yesterday and baby was kicking away really forcefully. I didn’t sleep well, and had to leave the house with A by 8am to make sure we got to the hospital in time for our 9:05 appointment time. Sods Law had it, that [...]
I’m here. I’m at that gestation where everything started going wrong in my last pregnancy, and I am on edge. I know everything is different this time. The placenta is at the back, not the front and it’s not low-lying, but I can’t help but feel a little apprehensive that things could turn so quickly. [...]
Nothing much new to report this week. This pregnancy seems to be rather uneventful compared to the last pregnancy, which is good. I’m feeling ok in myself, still tired, but then I don’t expect to have loads of energy with 3 other children to look after. No weight gain this week either. I had an [...]
This week, 24th – 30th June has been National Breastfeeding Awareness Week. I have seen a lot of awareness being raised this week in regards to breastfeeding and I’ve read a lot of blog posts about other experiences. I thought I would add my own experience as a mother who unsuccessfully breastfed her first [...]
The past 5 weeks I have been testing out Bio-Oil for my stretch-marks. When I was asked to review this product, I was slightly sceptical. I used creams all through my first pregnancy but still ended up with lots of deep and wide stretch marks. They were hideous. They’re all over my belly, side, thighs [...]
I decided to join in with Tania at Larger Family Life and her “Getting to Know You” link up. Tania has posted 10 things you probably don’t know about her on her blog and has asked that others do the same, so we can get to know each other better, and of course our [...]
Today see’s me reach 25 Weeks. The closer I get to the 27 week point, the more nervous I get. I think if I can get past 28 weeks with no problems then I’ll start to relax more. I’m getting bigger as the weeks pass and my SPD is getting really bad at the moment. [...]
Last week we had a meeting with the Birth Reflections Midwife at my local hospital. This service is provided by the hospital for people who have gone through birth trauma to help you understand what happened. Men are just as welcome to use the service as much as women are. When I was [...]
