All the way through my pregnancy, there’s only been one period, around 14 weeks pregnant, where I’ve had the fed up feeling. It really frustrated me at the time, because I knew how lucky I was, and I didn’t want it to happen again. Well it seems it has. Sigh. Over the last week, all I’ve done is cry every single day, usually at stupid, random things. Today I can’t stop crying. The main reason though – and I feel awful and incredibly frustrated at myself for even feeling like I do, for the reasons that I do, as it …

Monkeying around
You may recall on Tuesday I said we were going to a friends for dinner. We had a lovely evening with curry & cake, and little man was incredibly active, squirming and wriggling about, giving me those lightening pains at the same time! Well, I think he wore himself out that night. Usually he moves a lot first thing in the morning when hubby gets up to go to work, and then in the morning and in the afternoon, then again in the evening, with a few little movements in between. I woke up yesterday morning, he kicked me a …
38 weeks and a midwife appointment
Well, I obviously got to 38 weeks as I’m here with my weekly update! I’ve had more head butting incidents from him since my last update, though not as strong, just little ones the last few times. I can definitely feel him making himself comfy down there ready for his grand appearance, I can tell you that… Which brings me onto our routine midwife appointment (there was also a student midwife there this time so we got second opinions on everything). Normal tests were done, urine sample – fine, blood pressure – fine, little mans heartbeat – fine. He’s also still head …
Our little man’s wheels (and our short-list)
At the end of last month we finally purchased little man’s wheels, after first going looking in October/November last year. We didn’t end up with the first one we fell in love with, after gaining some opinions from others. On our list of “must haves” was: can be parent facing lightweight (as we currently live in a maisonette up 4 flights of stairs!) colourful (preferably red or green – didn’t want plain black) can be used a travel system not a 3 wheeler (well, this was more my must have as I wasn’t keen on them!) budget of £300-£400 Now …
37 weeks
So, 37 weeks! Now classed as full term! Yikes! I think since Sunday when the 37 weeks mark came, I’ve been imagining I’m going to go into labour at any minute because my back ache is getting worse, and been getting pains ‘down there’ which aren’t quite like the shooting pains I have been having from little man squishing my nerves, but more painful than shooting, though not very often so it can’t be! Just wishful thinking, I think! Although, my BH have been getting more frequent and more painful. We were in town yesterday buying a few more clothes …
