The journey through our latest pregnancy and looking back at our last
Well, I never thought I’d get to 37 weeks but here I am. I have had a much better week with less appointments and more family time and it really has made all the difference to my mood. We even got a sneaky family trip to Knowsley Safari Park this weekend which was lovely and … [Read more…]
A is for antenatal. After your first pregnancy, you get seen a lot less. Even though I am more high risk this time than I was before, as it is my third baby, they are confident that if I feel anything isn’t right, I will call them myself. With two other children to look after, … [Read more…]
After last week’s rotter, you would be forgiven to think I would get a good week but unfortunately it was not to be. Bear with me though, it does get better.

Seeing as I haven’t got long left with this pregnancy, I am going weekly with my updates. I have had another antenatal appointment and the baby has moved from being transverse to being head down which, on the face of it is good. I saw my consultant and, following on from last week’s scan, where … [Read more…]
