I've tried to write this post for almost a month now - each time I type it up, I leave it for a few days and revisit to spell check and make sure its coherent. And each time I find myself deleting it and rewriting it in a whole new way. There are a tonne [...]
I gave birth to my little girl, Charlotte, on March 11th. While she was due on March 20th, she came early (much to my relief)! Warning: I talk about some things that may gross you out so if you're not comfortable with bodily functions, turn back now. Friday 2pm - In the super early stages, [...]
And the final trimester finally arrived! Of course, I still had months to go and stuff to get done. But in this time frame I would start maternity leave, finish gathering all the things I thought I would need, have a baby shower, and start taking the whole birth thing more seriously. I had maternity [...]
I was throwing up up until 17 weeks so at this stage I was still feeling pretty rubbish. Before pregnancy I was under the impression that you would only be sick in the first trimester, boy oh boy was I wrong. Annoyingly, and gladly, I got so used to being sick that by the time [...]
I've given birth to my little one now (yay!) and having gone through 9 months of pregnancy, birth, and now one month out the other end, I think I can safely say damn, that was a weird year. To immortalise (and mostly so if I do this again I can remember accurately) my entire experience, [...]
During pregnancy it's fairly well known that women's bodies change drastically. It's no secret that pregnant women can have mood swings, go from 0 to 100 real quick over what seems to be the smallest of things (like patients being rude on the phone when I'm TRYING to help you), and cry at odd things like [...]
As of last week I'm beginning to feel both more and less pregnant at the same time. Going from 15-16 weeks, I had a few major changes. I was no longer nauseous all the time, I felt like I could no longer physically suck my stomach in (which I usually do out of habit when [...]
Little rant on my behalf; how excited should I appear when I tell you I'm pregnant? Honestly. Yes, I am excited. But I also have concerns and am being realistic about the whole thing. There's my health, and the baby's. Our combined health during the pregnancy, which at any stage over the course of 9 months could [...]
Nearing the end of the first trimester now - honestly I could not be happier. For the last 3 weeks I have been so incredibly sick. Struggling to keep even water down - I've been dehydrated, hungry yet throwing everything up, dizzy and tired, and just outright miserable. Granted there have been a few moments [...]
I'm going to be very real here - this fortnight is a little tight. All my monthly and bi-monthly bills decided to be due on the same day, leaving me very very little wiggle room for food and fuel. Luckily, I have the most amazing mother in the entire world who after a full days work, [...]
