Pregnancy | Series | My favourite… Apps
TweetOne of the first things I did after finding out (after freaking out completely) I was pregnant was download some pregnancy apps to my phone. Of course, there are tons of apps out there and I tried out a few. But eventually I narrowed it down to my favourites (and deleted the others). So how do we know which ones are best? Today, I’m sharing the three apps I use the most and keep on my phone as well as one honourable mention. These turned out to be the best for me, they may or may not work for you depending on what your needs are. Ovia You can choose a theme…

Pregnancy | Update: Symphysis pubis dysfunction (self diagnosis)
TweetWhen its more than just the regular pregnancy aches and pains About three weeks or so ago I started feeling a bit of discomfort and pressure in my pelvic region. Now the pain is traveling down the inside of my legs. I shared this with the Hubby as its definitely a first for me. I then mentioned this to a fellow pregnant Mom and local midwife and they both suggested I discuss this with my Gynae at the next check up as it could be Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). What are the signs and symptoms of SPD? A sharp and sometimes overwhelming pain in the region at the front of…

Pregnancy | Motherhood Monday: Some baby news
TweetAs you may have guessed from my picture – we’re having a little GIRL! Mothers of children of the same gender will understand me. The comments start when you’re pregnant – “Shame maybe this time will be a little girl.” When you’re pregnant, the most important thing on your mind, is having a healthy baby.

Pregnancy | Series | My favourite… Pregnancy books
TweetWelcome to the “MY FAVOURITE” series. This series may become a weekly thing, monthly or I may just post sporadically as I share some of my favourite’s during this pregnancy. For the first part of this series I thought I’d focus on preparing for this baby. Not necessarily body wise but more knowledge is power wise. When it comes to pregnancy books there are a lot out there, you can easily be overwhelmed when entering a bookstore or going online by what is available. Now considering that this is my 3rd pregnancy I can assure you that I’ve read quite a few books over the last 10 years of this…

BOY OR GIRL – Let’s have some fun with gender predictor tests
TweetDO YOU KNOW? If you read my last few posts (here and here) you know that I’m currently half way through this pregnancy and you’ll probably understand that each and every person you encounter will at some point or another ask you if you know the baby’s sex and also expect you to share this information with them (be it someone you actually know or a complete stranger). Now many people may have no problems shouting this from the roof top but there are some, myself included who just want to keep this information between us for now and process it all. But for the sake of having some fun,…
