July 6th 2019. I’ve finally started feeling better! I’m still very tired but the nausea has shifted – what a relief! I’m lucky in that I haven’t had sickness but constantly feeling like you are about to be sick… Well that totally sucks. And completely ruins my diet because I go off so many healthy Read More

38-weeks pregnant – counting down the days!
Baby is the size of a pumpkin – approximately 50cm and 3kg if I can trust my pregnancy app (which would be already bigger than I was as a newborn). She could come any day now – exciting! I had my 38-week appointment with the midwife yesterday. So despite her prediction of a very early Read More
37-weeks – early labour signs (possibly TMI)?
This week we reached a big landmark – we have now passed 37 weeks of pregnancy! If our daughter were to be born now she would no longer be considered premature and we could follow our birth plan of starting the labour at the birthing centre’s pool instead of going straight into the labour ward Read More
34-week bump update
We are getting very pregnant over here! It’s been another busy busy week and while I’ve been preoccupied (primarily) with work, my bump inhabitant has been busy growing. On Thursday I had my 34-week midwife appointment – in addition to the usual checks my blood was drawn to check haemoglobin levels. My belly is feeling Read More
29-weeks pregnant – Sciatica and whooping cough vaccination and all things fun… (and BIG news)
29-weeks and 1 day pregnant 🙂 Baby is getting a bit cramped in there and my bump is getting tighter and tighter. I have noticed that leaning or crouching forward presses my chest uncomfortably now that the bump is bigger, so I try to sit upright or lean back when working. This is very hard Read More
Pregnancy update – 26-weeks
It’s 1st of September, summer is over and we are on to our last trimester!! 14 weeks until the due date. It feels like a very long time, I’m so anxious to meet her (but obviously, stay in there until you are ready!). According to my pregnancy apps, our girl measures this week about 35.6cm Read More
Enjoying the honeymoon trimester – 17 weeks pregnant
Without getting all scientific here, I’ve always believed that time cannot be constant, at least not in the way we experience it. From the positive pregnancy test until the 12-week scan, time was passing so slowly… I was counting days to get passed the “red zone”, would have sat my legs crossed all day if that Read More
First baby kicks at 16 weeks!
The most exciting recent pregnancy development by far is feeling the baby’s movements for the first time! I cannot describe the feeling – a mixture of amazement, wonder, disbelief, LOVE… The most bizarre yet wonderful experience. It did made me think of the movie “Alien” a bit though, sorry! 🙂 We are 16 weeks pregnant Read More
14 weeks – How are we feeling?
So far, I’m loving the second trimester!! <3 In addition to physically feeling better than during the first trimester, I can finally be openly happy about our pregnancy having told our friends and colleagues about it. I don’t enjoy keeping secrets, especially not something as huge as this! Imagine meeting a friend for the first 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
