Our 4th baby is now due any day now, and the excitement is real! For all of my pregnancies, I have loved looking through books week by week to see read how our babies develop. But, have you ever wondered what each week of foetal development looks like through the eye of a lens (well, …
Our 4th baby is due in just over 4 weeks. Not long at wait at all, but these last few weeks I have been really struggling with Braxton hicks contractions. Some so strong, that I have even had trips up to the hospital just to make sure that they are not the real deal. What …
Politely, I asked the sonographers, doctors and consultants to back off, cease contact and leave me alone. In my head I was upset, touched out and pissed off. I didn’t want or feel the need for any help and I was ready to explode. 7 weeks ago I was sent to the maternity day assessment …
First of all, apologies for how long it has taken to finally get this post written! So much has been going on. We’ve been to The Baby Show in Birmingham, I’ve not been too well with my legs again, it’s been the school holidays and we have been making the most of the lovely weather …
In a couple of days I’ll be 25 weeks pregnant. 15 weeks left. 109 days to go. 3 weeks away from the 3rd Trimester. It’s going bloody quickly. I hate it. This is meant to be our last baby and I enjoy pregnancy so much. I’ve wanted this whole final experience to slow down, so I …

Being pregnant should be an enjoyable time, during which you prepare for the new addition to your family. It is a time of change. Your body will adjust throughout the weeks of pregnancy, preparing itself for the impending delivery. With these changes come side effects, from morning sickness in the first few weeks, to managing …
So, our dearest Kate Middleton is over due! Its no fun going over that magical date, and we are all desperate for some news!!! I guess girl, 7lb 2oz, and gorgeous like her mummy! #RoyalSweepstake anyone?! A pregnancy normally lasts anywhere between 38 weeks and 42 weeks and babies born between these weeks are classed as ‘term’. …
… to helping babies arrive safely. As a regular blogger of many things pregnancy and baby related, I am honoured to team up as an ambassador with MAMA Academy, a registered charity working with parents-to-be and health care professionals to help babies arrive safely. Sadly many parents loose their babies during pregnancy, and Mama Academy are working very hard to …
I officially have just 6 days now until my due date. Things are definitely on the move and we are soon going to be meeting our smallest little girl. Are we ready? I hope so! On Thursday I took a trip to our local maternity unit as I had been contracting for a couple of days …
The day is drawing near. I am 36 weeks pregnant, nearly 37. That means really, any day now I could be on my way to hospital to deliver the newest member of our family. I will be considered term from 37 weeks and full term from 40 weeks pregnant. Either way, if I even carry up until …
Not very often you hear someone say that a baby is safer OUT OF their car seat. But there, I said it. Obviously I don’t mean during car journeys. Your baby should always be securely and safely fitted in a well tested and well trusted brand of car seat when travelling. I’m talking about when …
Now that I am brewing our 3rd baby, I know all too well about the tale of stretch marks. The stretch marks that I have developed are what I would consider actually quite bad stretch marks. There are lots of them, very thick and some even split so deep. I gained most of them when …
At quarter past 10-ish this morning (ignore the scan photo- they obviously have not changed the clocks at the hospital still!), we went for our 20 week scan. The sun was shining and we were all in a bouncy mood. Well, I couldn’t bounce too much, as I had a full bladder which is needed …
