Pregnancy Problems - My Pregnancy Diaries

I didn’t suffer from morning sickness in my first trimester. In fact I had very little sickness until I was about 24 weeks pregnant. From then on I couldn’t keep anything down! Almost everything I ate made me sick. The only things that kept me going were Cadburys Buttons and  Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. I worried that Bob wasn’t getting the nutrition that she needed but my midwife assured me that she would take everything from me and that I would [click here to read on]

Terrible Twosday! (Not Just For Two Year Olds!)

On Friday, when I had put it off until I could put it off no more, we went shopping for clothes for the holiday. (See Holiday Showdown.) I wasn’t looking forward to this, as I still haven’t come to terms with my post baby body. To be honest, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I managed to get everything I needed, including some one-piece swimming costumes. I have a distant memory of wearing bikinis. Pre [click here to read on]

Sex?!? - My Pregnancy Diaries

We thought long and hard about whether to find out the sex of our baby at the 20 week scan. To begin with we thought that it would be nice to have a surprise. To ring people and say ‘It’s a…!’ rather than ‘he/she is here’ seemed much more exciting. After a few weeks of watching One Born Every Minute we changed our minds. I watched several deliveries where they did not know the sex of their baby. By the [click here to read on]

Boobs

When I stopped breastfeeding Bob (see To B Or Not To B?) and I thought that my breasts had settled down, I went to be measured for some new bras. When the lady told me my size, I could not believe it! I had gone up 3 cup sizes!!! I asked her if she thought that they would stay this way and she said that her Mum’s were still big after having her and she was 22. I purchased some new [click here to read on]
