4 years ago I wrote a blog about the ups and downs of my first pregnancy. Some people have requested that I republish these on this site. So here they come. The next load of blogs will be those republished blog.
If you don't want to read them just skip all blogs with Summer in the title - enjoy : )
As a recent mother-to-be i am having difficulty taking on board everyones advice or what not to do, eat, what helps with morning sickness etc.
There is a real issue here of how far you want to get sucked in to this over protective world. If i actually listened to all the things pregnant women should and shouldn't do i would just be sat in a specially constructed bubble for 9 months having no contact with the outside world.
On the otherhand if i don't follow the advice given to me and god forbid anything goes wrong or my child ends up with some illness i may always wonder if i could have done more to give them a better start in life.
Tricky!!
My main annoyance with being pregnant is that noone gave me proper warning about the so called morning sickness... Can you believe this does not only occur in the morning. For me it occurs every waking moment of my day and hits its peak just as i go to bed at night. Before anyone says Ginger biscuits will help - they don't! they actually make me feel worse.
(incase you hadn't noticed i am in the first trimester where everything is crap but i have been reassured that this will pass at about the 14 week stage)
I will keep blogs the whole way through my pregnancy to give any potential mothers-to-be an accurate and honest take on the whole thing.
At this stage its not too good. Everything aches - my back, legs, tummy and especially boobs.
I feel tired ALL the time. I literaly get home from work and crash out. Saturday just gone i went shopping in the morning and went to the pub in the evening getting home for about 1.30 am, the next day i could not get out of bed at all. I start to do housework and have to sit down for rests every 20 minutes so nothing gets done in the end.
To sum it all up i feel like an 80 year old woman. Can't wait for the next part of the pregnancy when everthing is great - your bump starts to show, the morning sickness goes, you get your energy back and best of all you get that pregnancy glow people talk about!
Keep you posted!
