Lots of people have been wanting to know if I’m planning to get a confinement lady for after I give birth. The answer is no. I had a chat about this with my mum sometime in my first trimester which resulted in me pretty much putting my foot down on the issue. Actually, stomping is [...]
This being our first pregnancy, hubby and I were completely unsure what to expect in terms of the physical changes that I would be going through. But I’ve been really lucky. Y not only loves my bump and the fact that our baby is kicking away inside me (he thinks it’s really cute and I [...]
We have a proper picture of my baby bump! Hubby and I finally got round to taking a photo, partly because I think the pregnant body is beautiful, and partly because I know that if we don’t, I’m going to look back years down the line and regret not having any pictures from my [...]
As you can imagine, lots of well-meaning people have offered tips and advice on what I should and should not do while pregnant. I appreciate all the good intentions, I really, really do, and being pregnant has made me feel so loved because everyone has been such absolute sweethearts about looking out for me, buying [...]

I am ____ months pregnant.
I am having a girl/boy/don’t know.
But I got too [...]
Having tried (and failed miserably) to locate a decent pair of maternity jeans in all this land, I finally gave up and turned to the Internet. I wanted a pair of good quality maternity jeans that were comfy, well-cut and didn’t make me look three inches shorter and ten kilos heavier, but stores that I [...]
The first few months, everyone commented on how small I was and how I was hardly showing and wow, you can still fit into your jeans. Then, practically overnight it feels like, my baby bump popped out and suddenly I can’t seem to fit into anything! My wardrobe has been whittled down to four pairs [...]
Look at that! Did you know a foetus is almost fully formed by the time it’s just 12 weeks old? (I didn’t.) It’s got fingers and toes, eyelids, fingernails… everything. Not that you can see it on the ultrasound but it’s just amazing if you think about it.
This is our baby at around [...]
