How am I feeling a year on?

So I thought I’d give you all an update of where I am and how I’m feeling right now. I’m just over a year post baby number two. It’s not been a plain sailing year. Plus it’s been super busy. Thankfully nothing horrific has happened but it’s been both physically and mentally tough (and I’m […]

I’m finally returning to a physical state of normal!

What’s a normal physical state? For me ‘a normal physical state’ is about being able to move my body in any way I want, running, jumping, lifting. It’s feeling strong and confident. It’s not about numbers on a scale. I think I’m on the path to ‘normal’. Over the past (nearly) 6 months I’ve rested […]

Another child? What were we thinking?

Just the three of us! We were a family of three. It worked. I was just starting to get a little more time to myself as Ronnie got a little bigger and able to play and walk and talk etc. I always wanted another child. That was a personal decision. I was one of three […]

My Body Does Not Determine My Self Worth

Someone asked me yesterday if I was pregnant! Phahahaha…I think he was more upset than me! I don’t know exactly, but I would guess I am over 2 stone heavier than I was before I fell pregnant. None of my clothes fit. I have a belly that looks as though I am 5 or 6 […]

The Last Few Days of Pregnancy!

Well, I’m here. It’s the last few days of my second full (and final!) pregnancy. I’m definitely too old for this business! It’s been a tough ride, both physically and emotionally! I could do with this pregnancy ending pretty soon. Both because it would be blooming brilliant to meet this little monkey sooner rather than […]

Same body but very different pregnancies

I have been through two pregnancies now. I find it hard to believe that the same body can have two totally different experiences when it’s two ‘healthy’ pregnancies! When people used to tell me their ailments they were experiencing through their pregnancy I used to think maybe they were just unfit or had low pain […]

Turning a Breech Baby

Naughty Breech Baby! So I’ve just had a 34 week scan and the naughty little minx is presenting in a posterior breech (back to back and bum down) and slightly oblique position. This is after being cephalic (optimal birthing position) at my last check just 3 weeks ago. This happened to me in pregnancy number […]
