Pregnant? The Best Pregnancy Book

| December 10, 2011

Whether you like it or not, pregnancy will undoubtedly see you sitting down more often than usual.

I found myself fairly active in the first 6 months, then the weight of my blooming belly started to take it’s toll.

Knowing time to myself was being depleted by the day as D-day (that’s D for Due) drew closer, I made the most of my spare time getting the low-down on what was going on inside me and understanding the changes to my body.

The best pregnancy book is What to Expect When You’re Expectingby Heidi Murkoff, it’s invaluable.

Month by month throughout your pregnancy it tells you what you can expect with changes to you and the development of your bump. It also has in-depth chapters on your pregnancy lifestyle and eating well when pregnant.

If you have any questions during pregnancy or are unsure about what is going on, I’m certain this great book can help.

And if you’re like me, you won’t be able to stop yourself from reading ahead, just so you can be sure of what to expect the following month!

Get Ready, Get Set… What Are THE Baby Essentials

| December 8, 2011

Throughout the ensuing 42 weeks of pregnancy (yes, my baby girl was 2 weeks late!) I couldn’t concentrate on anything but the thought of looking after my precious little baby.

And what exactly would I need in order to do this effectively?

Oh boy, there was much to think about!

What are the Baby Essentials you really need?

  • Nursery Decorations
  • Baby Bath
  • Changing Mat
  • Rattles

…believe me, the list goes on and on and on and on!

 

I’m Pregnant!

| December 7, 2011

Finding out I was pregnant in 2010 was exhilarating!

I was, in nine months time to become a Mummy… and a Yummy Mummy at that I decided! 

I should have been more prepared, but there was no job description and no interview. I’d read the books and I thought I knew what I needed to know.

Nine months, after all, is a long time to have to think and think and think about becoming a Mummy…

Whether you are thinking about having a baby or you are already pregnant or you have just become a new Mummy – here’s to motherhood and enjoying and sharing all of the ups and downs!
