38 weeks pregnant + 6 days Stretch marks? None! Sleep? It’s been up and down again. The only decent sleep I got was Sunday night when I fell asleep around 1am and didn’t wake up until just past 5am for the toilet – that’s the longest I’ve managed to go in a while between night […]

37 weeks pregnant + 6 days Stretch marks? None. Sleep? Started off well when continuing with the late nights and longer lie-ins, but on Friday we needed to get up early and it threw a spanner in the works. I tried going to bed a little earlier, around 12am, but I laid wide-awake for hours […]

36 weeks pregnant + 6 days Stretch marks? Still none. Sleep? I’ve cracked the code! I finished work at the beginning of week 36 which meant later evenings. I found that the later I went to bed, the better sleep I got and I was able to lie-in for longer, despite the numerous bathroom trips […]

35 weeks pregnant + 6 days Stretch marks? Still none to be seen. Sleep? It started off well! I was that exhausted when 34 weeks pregnant + 6 days after doing 8.30am – 5.30pm in the office instead of at home (we had lots of Christmas activities on the go), that I went to bed […]

34 weeks pregnant + 6 days Stretch marks? Still none! Sleep? Terrible again, except for last night when I got a solid 4.5 hours sleep which left me feeling so refreshed! I feel like 4 hours is the minimum amount of sleep I require to feel like I can function now.  Best moment this week? […]

This was before I knew about combination feeding/combi feeding, or mixed feeding as it’s also known. My experience to date is there’s still so much pressure for women to breastfeed, and judgement […]

33 weeks pregnant + 6 days Stretch marks? Still none! Sleep? Up and down. I’ve started taking naps throughout the day without the worry of it impacting getting to sleep at night. If I have a bad night sleep, or no sleep, by taking no naps in the day, then what harm will an actual […]

32 weeks pregnant + 6 days Stretch marks? Still none! Sleep? Terrible still. I had a couple mornings where I was up from 3am just sat downstairs either scrolling through Instagram, doing some crosswords, eating a very early breakfast, or just trying to fall asleep on the sofa to no avail. Best moment this week? […]

When we were trying to conceive, and through the early months of pregnancy, the thought of a birth plan scared me. I used to think there was so much pressure to make the right decisions on how to give birth, what pain relief to use (if any), where to give birth and so on. What […]
