I had dreaded the potential morning sickness, but it seems like I got lucky, because I was never actually sick and nauseous only for a few weeks (weeks 7-9). The best thing about not feeling sick anymore is that I can pay more attention to what I eat to ensure proper nutrition for the baby Read More

From hero to zero…and back!
As you know, exercise means a lot to me. It’s how I unwind, re-energise, destress, socialise, test my limits, exceed myself, feel empowered, the list goes on and on… Yet during my pregnancy weeks 5 to 10 I did little of it due to fatigue, nausea and most recently, an awful cold. I restricted my Read More
Hello anyone there??
I am 10 weeks pregnant and feeling great! Maybe too great?? Nausea is gone and fatigue is not as bad. That’s a good thing, or is it? Pregnancy symptoms made me feel pregnant. Not having all the symptoms made me think something is not right… While I won’t really know until our 12-week scan, I Read More
Meeting with a prenatal personal trainer
At 9 weeks pregnant, I finally had a meeting with a prenatal personal trainer. The purpose of this meeting was to clarify what is considered safe and healthy amount and type of exercise during pregnancy. As I’ve mentioned, I felt quite ill and tired during my second month of pregnancy but I’m hoping to feel Read More
Can I just be full-time pregnant?
Being pregnant for the first time is absolutely huge! All the emotions and the physical changes and symptoms would be enough to occupy my thoughts. Unfortunately though, there is no such thing as being “full-time pregnant”. Life still goes on and stuff needs to get done. It’d be tempting to put everything else on hold, Read More
5 weeks pregnant – what’s new?
It’s been an incredible week, getting used to the idea that we are pregnant – a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, but mainly just very exciting. Obviously I don’t show yet, but my body doesn’t let me forget what’s going on. I have been feeling good so far but not “normal”. I feel pregnant. My Read More
Tears of joy!
And one morning, the magical word appeared on the digital screen: “Pregnant”. <3 <3 <3 Overwhelming happiness. Disbelief. Excitement. Relief. Disbelief again. LOVE. The mixture of emotions I felt in that fleeting moment, staring at the pregnancy test. WE DID IT! Tears running down my cheeks I stare at the test, laughing and crying, receiving toothpaste-flavoured Read More
My fitness in numbers
Training is a big part of my life and now that we are planning pregnancy I have started to study what kind and how much of exercise would be good (or bad) for the baby and I. I admit I quickly became frustrated as it’s not easy to find medically/scientifically proven limits or guidelines for Read More
Baby in the pipeline
My life is about to change. Forever. In fact, it already has! Something changed the moment we decided to start trying for a baby. I’m excited, I’m scared, I’m absolutely overwhelmed with emotion – and I’m not even pregnant yet! I am Finnish-born London-bound, deal and six-pack chasing City Girl with passion to become the Read More
