There was a comment I came across the other day on that ol’ place called Facebook. There were 2 or 3 people discussing sickness in pregnancy, and I saw something that quite riled me if I’m honest. This comment basically said that pregnancies in which the woman had/has sickness, all was well, and went well, whereas pregnancies where the woman felt/feels fine, things didn’t/don’t go so well in. (Though they did refer to it as an old wives tale, the person in question probably didn’t mean to offend, but I did think it was quite insensitive even saying this, seeing …
18 weeks… and a bump (pic)
Sorry I have neglected you all since last Saturday, was rather busy all weekend as we went on holiday on Monday, and didn’t get back until Friday! So I never posted a 17 week update last Sunday either… I haven’t really that much to report actually, the last couple of weeks have been quite uneventful regarding Baby G! Bump has grown a little but can’t really see that much difference since the last photo, though for a few days it did seem to be noticeably expanding overnight! During our holiday the ‘Funstars’ did a show called ‘Never Forget’, in which …
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
I’m stepping away from the usual today and joining in with Bloggers Unite’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month blogging event. In the UK, around 48,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. It has been estimated that in the US, 230, 480 women will be diagnosed in 2011. But we must remember that although it is more common in women, men can also be diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a cause very close to my heart, as 4/5 years ago my mother-in-law (MIL) was diagnosed with breast cancer. To say it was a huge shock was an understatement. I cannot remember …
PCOS – how it affects
Earlier this month I wrote a post on the facts of PCOS. This post will be about the affect it has had, or it has, on other people. My experience with PCOS has been quite short in a way, but looking back from during diagnosis and afterwards, I think in a way it has been a lengthy one too. Ever since I started my periods they have been horrendous – heavy, long, never knowing when they were going to start/end. At school I was put on tablets because they were so heavy, but they made me sick so I stopped …
16 weeks | Pregnancy diary
Yesterday was my 16 week mark! Gosh, that came around quick! Only 24 more weeks to go, I so want to meet our baby but of course I want him/her fully cooked first, and I still want to enjoy the rest of pregnancy. Bump is slowly expanding, I’m being quite vain and every time I pass a mirror I have to have a quick look to see if it’s grown any since the last time! Oops! We’re taking bump on his/her first “kind of” holiday a week today! “Kind of” because he/she will be there but not quite know it! …
