The Health Visitor Lottery : I have met some Health Visitors in my time who are truly dedicated to the job and aim to do good things, treat the families with the respect that they deserve and have basic manners upon entering someone elses house. I just find the ratio of nice and nasty to [...]

Having just been inspired by meeting a friend with twin boys, the term SuperMum came to mind. Personally, I would loosely define this as the transition from thinking “how on earth will i cope with a baby or two” to actually managing to do it. No SuperMum is ready to face the world of parenthood [...]

I always associated being pregnant with having the infamous “pregnancy glow”, carrying this beautiful baby bump and looking radiant with the joy of what was to come. I hate to burst the bubble and apologies to those mums who did feel the “glow” throughout their pregnancies, but for my part, I’m not one hundred percent [...]

Dylan has spent nearly 18 months as an only child and has been spoilt in the process. I spend my days doing activities specifically designed around him. He has kisses and cuddles whenever he wants them, we went to baby groups when he was little and now go to toddler groups designed speciically for his [...]

For Flashback Friday this week, I’m continuing my pregnancy story. Last week I was being taken down to the labour ward to have my waters broken. The labour room was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Of course, we had seen one room during our antenatal classes, but this room seemed much [...]

I am now 30 weeks, the baby is the weight of a large cabbage and I can feel it on my back! I have had another rubbish couple of weeks due to having a cold followed by another virus type thing with only 2 days of feeling normal in-between. Like this?Read more… Recommended by Mum2BabyInsomniac

With only 6 weeks to go bump is feeling rather large although I am sure I was bigger first time around! I am hoping this means a slightly smaller baby, but I am preparing for another chunky monkey anyway. Here is the 34 week bump – Like this?Read more… Recommended by The Mummy Adventure

Dear Mother Nature, I was initially going to address this to the baby that is taking up the rather large expanse that is my belly right now but I figure that you, Mother Nature, have just as much to do with when this baby is going to make his way out of my body and [...]

The baby shower craze has taken off in many countries now and whilst it can be a really lovely opportunity for a mum-to-be to spend some time with close friends as mine was, it can also be a stressful time for friends not knowing what to buy for the mum or baby and also a [...]

It is most likely that I will be giving birth at some point in the next month, being that my due date is just under 3 weeks away. As it is my second labour, I of course have more than an inkling of what is to come. I know some people find the whole birth [...]

Sales are the perfect time for a pregnant woman who wants to look and feel nice during her pregnancy, but doesn’t want to spend large amounts of money on short-term clothing. Asos currently have a sale on and a lot of their gorgeous maternity fashion has also been reduced. Below are my picks from the [...]

This is Stuntboy’s birth story. He is the youngest son of Helen Neale, who blogs over at Mummys Little Stars as part of her Reward Charts business, KiddyCharts. He is now five, and though rather lovely, doesn’t half wear her out. Helen also has a personal blog at Stickers, Stars and Smiles. She can be [...]

This week for Flashback Friday, I’m continuing my pregnancy story and I’m writing about the terrible itch. The pregnancy itch. I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. Now, before you think I’m talking gross itchiness, I’m not. When I was around 37 weeks pregnant with Wee Z, tiny red spots started to appear on [...]

Last night as I’m sure many people know, One Born Every Minute begun its new series. Twitter went crazy for it. Even my facebook stream went crazy for it. But I switched off. I turned off social media for that hour and didn’t have my telly set to channel 4. Why? Like this?Read more… Recommended [...]
