Thursday 31st October – 23w 1d Have had my first toothache of this pregnancy and been trying to kill it with paracetamol. I think I had it this bad with little man actually. I should really use my free entitlement and get to the dentist but I’m a complete wuss… Friday 1st November – 23w 2d The toothache has remained today, and I got ID’d for buying paracetamol! Suppose I should take that as a compliment, maybe I am finally glowing! Sunday 3rd November – 23w 4d I had yet another gender dream last night. It was the same gender as in …

I am absolutely shattered but it was definitely worth it! Tuesday 29th October – 22w 6d I’ve had bump pain today, not like anything I’ve had before. It’s not like BH, …
#NIAW – National Infertility Awareness Week
As many of my regular readers will know, infertility is a subject which is close to my heart as I have been through it myself (you can familiarise yourself with my story here), as well as the journey of many friends. It is still such a taboo subject which many do not like to talk about, especially those going through it.
