Well, 34 weeks pregnant today and only a week until I finish work. I had my midwife appointment today and all was fine – baby is still breech though so I need to get bouncing on my birthing ball, or, as midwife suggests: “going on all fours with your bum in the air”!! I go [...]

Well, it’s been a little while since I updated this. I am now 27 weeks pregnant, and bump has grown quite a bit. I seem to remember last time there was a bit of a growth spurt from about 24 weeks on, and that has certainly been the case again this time. This bubba is [...]

Well, here we are… 22 weeks pregnant… time is really rushing by! We had our re-scan on Thursday after the first 20 week scan failed to pick up the baby’s stomach.

Today I had what you’d probably call my “proper” booking in appointment with the midwife at the hospital. I actually was expecting a consultant appointment, and a midwife appointment (cos that’s what it said on the letter) but actually it was only with the midwife. It was all pretty routine, updating my details and taking [...]
