Baby J is now a month old and, before baby brain takes over my head forever, I thought now might be the right time to share my birth story. We last left off with my 37 week pregnancy update. Like I said previously, my local hospital now gives any mother who is due to give … [Read more…]
My first two pregnancies resulted in a vaginal birth and a caesarean section (due to a breech baby) in that order so, with number three, when I found out I would be having another section, I wasn’t exactly over joyed. I am now almost four weeks-post surgery and I can honestly say it was a … [Read more…]
So I wrote what I put in my hospital bag when I had G. While I have forgotten everything (again) I thought this time, I would focus on the essentials. The things you could grab in five minutes if you had to. The non-negotiables. So here is my top five. 1. Baby wipes. I would … [Read more…]
When you decide to have another baby, there are lots of things to consider. Whether it’s number three or 103, have you got room, will you need a new car, can you afford it, can you cope are all things that most people think about. I must admit, I had my blind-I-want-another-baby head on so … [Read more…]
Over a month ago now, I wrote my post about the New Mum Fitness Plan with Kiddicare and SportShoes.com. My lovely new trainers have seen a lot if action. If sadly, not from running. I have self-diagnosed myself with Post-Caesarean-Running-Fear (PCRF). I don’t know if it’s a widespread condition but I definitely have it. Baby G … [Read more…]
Not content with looking after our babies, the baby specialists, Kiddicare have decided us mums need a bit of help too so….. New Mum Fitness has been born. As a new mum myself, even now, nearly five months after the caesarean, I am frightened about exercise. However, by the same token, I don’t want to … [Read more…]
I wasn’t writing my blog when I had Boo so, apart from my tongue-in-check birth story, I have never really shared it. G has been a different matter. I feel I have shared quite a lot of this pregnancy so I have decided to fill you in with what happened on the day. If you read previous … [Read more…]
I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. We have survived our first half term as a family of four. While most other parents are lamenting the fact that their children are back at school and nursery tomorrow, I am relieved that we got through it relatively unscathed. You see I am … [Read more…]
If there’s one thing I learnt during my pregnancies, it is not to plan anything. Things happen. Plans can lead to disappointment and, as a new mother, this disappointment can really affect your mood and your life. So Thankfully Boo’s birth plan was relatively short: I do not want an epidural I want skin on … [Read more…]
I am hoping this will be my last pregnancy update and, that by this time next week, #FarmBaby2015 will have made a safe appearance. I thought I’d have a scenery change or you too this week and took bump outside for the photo. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen my … [Read more…]
