LIFESTYLE, PARENTING
Now I’m well into my third trimester, the reality of labour and birth is really starting to hit home. Instead of thinking about the next stage of pregnancy – the next trimester – I’m thinking about the inevitable end bit, where baby koala makes an appearance. Needless to say, my anxiety levels have been gradually increasing as the number of weeks to go has gradually decreased.
There is a tonne of stuff you could run out and buy when you find out you’re pregnant – and I’ve certainly treated myself to some new bits and bobs – but I’ve discovered there are some things worth your pennies, and some things you just don’t need. Here I’m sharing my first half of pregnancy favourites – the things that got me through the first and second trimester (yeah I know that’s more than half – so sue me).
Pregnancy is such an exciting time, but it is also incredibly stressful – something that not a lot of women really seem to speak about. It feels blasphemous to say that there is even a small part of pregnancy that you don’t enjoy, particularly in the second trimester, which is when you’re meant to be glowing and blooming. I’m through my second trimester now so thought I’d share some of the unexpected surprises pregnancy has thrown my way.
Ahhh the first trimester, my old friend. Where to begin? Quite frankly, it was mostly ghastly. Want to know why? Read on!
I know it’s nearly the end of January, but hey, whatcha gonna do? I’ve been off radar for a few months and I’ve totally taken a step back from my blog and instagram for the time being. Now it’s a new year, I’m feeling a bit more energised, so where have I been and what’s in store this year? Well, we have some big news to share!
