I hate to start on a negative tone but I’m really not loving this 4-months age so far. I obviously still love my adorable 4-months old baby to bits (!!) but this stage in her development is a challenging one. It has also been interesting, like I wrote in New baby milestones reached but it’s definitely also Read More

Why I started the Kayla Itsines BBG programme
A month ago I wrote that I was happy with my recovery from pregnancy and giving birth. I also wrote that I had lost the baby weight without going on a diet or following an exercise plan and that I was happy to just wing it and take mum & baby classes when I could Read More
Mum life part 4/5 – Thursday
5.15am – Maia wakes up for the first time but unfortunately it’s not the first for me. I stayed up too late watching telly yesterday and Maia’s dream feed lasted for an hour so I only got to bed after midnight. For some reason I had disturbing dreams and kept waking up. Once I even Read More

Recovery from pregnancy and giving birth – 6 weeks post partum
Women’s bodies go through massive changes during pregnancy and giving birth is quite an endurance test. Mum’s recovery from it all is important for the whole family. By recovery I don’t mean looking exactly the same as before pregnancy (our bodies do change for ever) although aiming to regain the health and fitness levels post Read More
One month old Baby Maia
