Today I'm officially full-term and although he isn't technically 'due' for another three weeks, I honestly wouldn't mind if he made an appearance before then. I was initially excited to have a few weeks to myself before he arrives but if this pregnancy carries on as it is now, I reckon I'm gonna Hulk out… Continue reading Bump Watch: Week 37 – writing my birth plan
Childbirth. It sounds bloody horrible and you'd think the best thing to do would be to give birth in a hospital, right? They have the drugs to help with the pain and the doctors are already on hand should something unforseen happen. Until a few weeks ago I was set on giving birth in hospital.… Continue reading The Great Debate: Giving birth in a birthing centre vs a hospital
Shit just got real! Tomorrow is my last day at work and this time next week I'll technically be full term. I'm adamant that this pregnancy hasn't 'flown by' but I still don't feel ready. Mainly because the baby's room and my hospital bag both still aren't ready. Luke reckons the baby's room isn't a… Continue reading Bump Watch: Week 36 – maternity leave
It's my due date in five weeks - you can count the number of remaining weeks on one hand! But it still feels like forever away... I think once I hit 'full term' in two weeks it will feel a lot more real. In the meantime, each day gets a little harder, especially now that… Continue reading Bump Watch: Week 35 – summer maternity wear

It's been a helluva week and as I get bigger and more uncomfortable it's hard to remember the more 'fun' parts of being pregnant. The pelvic dysfunction is giving me more trouble in the evenings, particularly moving around in bed and getting up multiple times for a wee, and my increased weight has given me… Continue reading Bump Watch: Week 34 – things I’ll miss about being pregnant (and those I won’t!)
I'm looking forward to spending the weekend catching up on posts on Bloglovin but here's what I've managed to catch in the middle of the madness that has been the last couple of weeks - lots of tips for fellow bloggers!

This week the less fun sides of pregnancy have been intensifying. Don't get me wrong, I love being pregnant. I still think it's crazy what's going on in there and every time he moves, even though his little feet are rooting around in my ribs as he tries to kick his way out, it's reassuring… Continue reading Bump Watch: Week 31 – the last time
We're another week closer towards meeting the little dude - I can almost count the remaining weeks on two hands! I'm now 27 weeks pregnant and he's approximately 37cm long - that's way longer than a standard ruler now. Every now and than I cast a glance at the 30cm ruler on my desk and… Continue reading Bump Watch: Week 27 – thinking about post-labour plans
Yesterday I felt particularly huge - I really felt like the little dude was in the way when I was shaving my legs, I have to open doors wider so I can actually get through and I looked genuinely round. I still haven't noticed this glow I'm meant to have though. Last week's antenatal class… Continue reading Bump Watch: Week 25 – the ‘joy’ of pregnancy
