What an insane month it has been. I gave birth to my second daughter, Hallie, on March 31st at 5:58am. Backtracking to midnight, I woke up feeling a bit off, a few cramps, nothing too odd. Braxton Hicks are common in pregnancy, and I had been getting them for a while - having them at [...]
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, [...]
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 don't even know where to begin. Let's start with earlier on last week (and fair warning, a bit TMI here). I remember having a sharp cramp, very brief, a few days before my period. Thinking, "oh, maybe I'll be early this month", I prepared accordingly (and listened to my body very closely so I wouldn't [...]
