My mood while writing this blog: hmmmm

its been a while... i cant remember the last time i wrote..

but in the last few weeks we have all been through the 24 week waist paranoia the 25 week death glare of wanting to kill our partners and in the 26/27 so far ive been all sweetness and light and starting to feel sick as a pig again...

BUMMER>

today im IRKSOME ( nice word eh?)

todays blog at 27 +1ish has made me think....

who the hell are all you listening too?? ignore the preggy police and the maternity gestappo and enjoy your pregnancy!!!!!

i know we are all nervous and wanting to do the best for our babies and worry at the slightest thing but for fooks sake, CHILL OUT...

I feel the worry is overtaking the joy sometimes on here with the "OMG is this normal?" "can i eat this, smell that insert this ;P.. suck that... is it safe to swim, drive, eat drink breathe orgasm.... argggghhhhhhhhhhh

the bottom line is..

TRUST YOUR OWN INSTINCT

why spend 9 months beating yourself up over a slice of toast and peanut butter when your baby turns one years old and you hand him/her a bit of MSG loaded cake with triple sugar illuminous pink icing to eat????

we need to look at the bigger picture healthy mummies mean healthy babies, slugging cans of sugary juice till you burst then worrying cause you drank water out of the tap is crazy... think big - a hotdog once in a blue moon is nothing when 99.9999999% of the time you have homemade cooked food.. - 70 seconds and a ping does not count as homecooked btw.

will you be one of those ladies who follow the list of what to do/what not to do .. then feed your baby from a jar because it is convenient??

some of the other belters i have came across ...

fake tan it will not turn our babies orange inside us

sun bed - if you feel like you want a wee 3min tanstand - do it (if you like the handbag look when you are older).. people live in austrailia with bajillion times the uva/b and live to tell the tale.

have a wee glass of wine.. just not a full bottle. the french have been doing it for years.. and they are super healthy over there..

you can wax your beav.. i mean, i know you want to - by now it must be a rainforest of epic proportions.

dye your hair.. the chemicals will not seep into your baby rendering it incapable of speech other than the words 'momma blonde 935 with toner" ...

and my rant of the day.. GREEN GODDAMMED TEA.. ARGGGGGGHHHHH asian people know more about tea than prob any one on the bloody planet.. everything in moderation as long as you are not drinking a field full a day im sure your body will cope please make sure you do your research properly before you preach to the worried.. having heard it on oprah does not count...

if i hear one more greet or moan about caffine and the effects on the fetus i will actually have a hairy fit. (can i add a disclaimer that i only have one cup of tea or coffee a day - i cant imagine having to cut back to 6???????? where do these people get the time to make 6 cups of hot beverage a day!!)

All this advice we are given on a daily basis from so called experts in the field.. remember 250 years ago when they thought the world was flat, 60 years ago when smoking was a health product and tres chic? 30 years ago when we were told not to have a bath while on your period - the 80's when we all though tom cruise was hot and not a nutter???? .. SOMEONE GRANT ME THE SERENITY NOT TO KILL ...

times change, medical opinion changes.

stay true to yourselves eat wholesome nutricious foods and stop worrying about the crap stuff..

cause at the end of the day.... its dark..
