Something a bit different, this week, because I've recorded my pregnancy diary on video. Lazy? Perhaps, but it has been one of those trying times when the whole household has been ill and I've been trying to keep my head above water! Sorry to those who catch up...
The Pregnancy Diaries: 29 Weeks
Oh! Where did the posts for weeks 27 and 28 go? I'm so sure that I wrote them! I also filmed some vlogs, but I have no idea where the footage is. Perhaps I'm finally going stark raving bonkers. It's been on the cards for a while... What's been happening, you might...
To VBAC or Not To VBAC…
Oh I'm having a right old quandary at the moment. This VBAC vs Planned C-Section business. It's getting near to the time when I have to decide how I want to give birth and all of the powers that be (namely whoever I see for my ante-natal appointments) won't stop...
The Pregnancy Diaries: 26 Weeks
My belly is like a water balloon - I'm honestly getting scared to bend forward in case I burst it! Trying to shepherd the baby toddler up the stairs is becoming quite a task, so is leaning down to pick her up and - the worst - setting myself down on the bathroom floor...
The Pregnancy Diaries: 25 Weeks
How magnificent! I've finally caught up with the pregnancy diaries. I'm writing this live, not typing up something from my iPhone notes that feels as though it was written in the prehistoric times. I can moan away and know that you're seeing it instantly and that...
The Pregnancy Diaries: 23 Weeks
This week has been mainly dominated with my concern for my C-Section scar and my irritation levels about the fact that all of my underwear seems to be slipping down from my bump and creasing in the exact place that the scar is. It's not comfortable at all. I now know...
The Pregnancy Diaries: 21 Weeks
Oooh, where have I been? Naughty naughty diary writer! I must be feeling better, as I've stopped writing down all of my moans and gripes. I'm only back to tell you all about my stomach issues... I've had such BAD runs (the D-word - can never spell it anyway) and pains...
The Pregnancy Diaries: 17 Weeks
I'm pretty sure I've been feeling some movements for the last couple of days. I can't be entirely sure whether it's just digestion but I remember thinking the same thing last time (quite a bit later) and then just knowing that there was something different about the...
The Pregnancy Diaries: Week 16
[Note: as I type up this diary entry I am 25 weeks pregnant. At this rate, I'll only catch up once the baby is born! So I'm going to try and get up to speed over the course of the next few days - sorry if it's pregnancy diary overload.] I can honestly say that I think...
The Pregnancy Diaries: 14 Weeks
First day without a nap and I wasn't even that tired! Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the second trimester. Is this the short one? I can't remember... I feel so much better, which could be partly to do with giving up those bloody vitamins. (See 13 Weeks.) I do wonder...
The Early Pregnancy Diaries: 13 Weeks
I've suddenly had a fast-forward to thirteen weeks! I had my twelve week scan and was a bit further on than I thought - I must have ovulated on, like, day 2 of my cycle or something. (No wonder it took so long to get pregnant the first time - I caught really early in...
The Early Pregnancy Diaries: 11 Weeks
Not so much sickness at all, this week - it's amazing how something can take over your life so completely and then just creep away quietly so that you forget it was ever there. I'm still very tired, so I definitely feel the baby "presence" but I'm definitely far less...
