First of all, congrats to everyone expecting!
This is my 3rd pregnancy and my 1st with my partner( I have two sons from previous relationships) we are really happy despite the fact that it wasn't planned and everyone is really happy for us.

Baby Unborn
Blessings upon you, my baby unborn
Safely inside me, asleep and so warm,
Sleep must come easy to those who are unborn,
As the maker so silently fashions your form.
Sleep, while you can, so watery and warm,
For outside this world is a terrible storm,
Soon you'll discover the taste of your tears,
So sleep now my loved one, my Baby, my Dear.

I Am Not Alone
Running errands and talking on the phone,
I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.
Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee
pushing and twisting that no one can see.
Oh sweet child kicking up your heels,
it is our little secret that only I can feel.
I look forward to your birth,
when I can kiss your skin,
but for now I will just smile,
As I feel you play within.

Who will you look like,
How will you be?
Will you look like Daddy or me?
Ten little fingers and ten little toes,
A wrinkled up forehead and a cute button nose.
You will be crying with that first cold touch,
And so will I because I love you so much.

8 weeks
So far i'm 2 months gone and its slowly killing me lol, I spend my days chasing around after my 2yr old which isn't helpful when I've had next to no sleep! Everytime I move I can feel the sick rising inside of my chest making it difficult to sleep.
I can't wait to pass the 3 month stage, I'm hoping the sickness will stop (I never had any sickness with my first two children!) and I can't get to the blooming stage instead of getting loads of spots and hair getting greasy hours after washing it!

10 weeks
Well I'm now 10+2 and still feeling tired and sick and seem to have developed a craving for tinned peaches! My appetite seems to have disappeared though!! One minute I'll be starving hungry and I'll make myself something to eat but after a few mouthfuls, I'm bloated! I can safely say that its driving me insane and I can't wait to finish a meal in full again (I'm crap at doing small portions so i seem to be wasting lots of food!)
I can't wait to have my first scan (fri 18th july) had midwife app today but she said it was too early to listen to heartbeat(SUCKS)
Hoping I'll be able to get a decents night sleep soon cos I'm sick to death of tossing and turning every night and not being able to get to sleep(my fella's snoring don't help!!!!!!!!!!)

11 weeks
I'm sick of feeling sick and tired of being tired but hoping its all gonna come to an end in the next week or two!!!
I feel too ill and tired to do anything then feel really guilty cos i haven't done anything by the time my fella gets home from a 12hr shift at work everyday, he says he understands but I can tell he's getting a bit peed off by it.
I feel like I'm getting bigger every day but can't really tell a difference in my photo's, but its def getting bigger, tried on my normal jeans the other day and couldn't even do the zip up!
I'm still struggling to sleep at night and seem to keep getting headaches, this pregnancy is so different from the other two, I was tired with them but not to this extent and i had no sickness/headaches/sleepless nights.
Anyway, have just realised all I ever do on this bit is moan, hopefully I'll be a bit more cheery soon!!!

12 weeks
Phew, I'm finally at the 12 week mark!!! Well, I'm not feeling so sick anymore, though certain foods turn my stomach and I'm still struggling to sleep at night regardless of how tired I am and getting up early in the morning is a nightmare!
Still waiting for that boost of energy you apparently get in the second trimester, I'm sure it will arrive soon.
I was so happy when I had my scan as it was reasuring to know that bubba was healthy, he/she was kicking around good and proper and was even waving to us at one point, I just can't wait to meet him/her in person, though I know I have a long wait, but I also know it is definately worth the wait!!!!

16 weeks
Well...its been a horrible month since I last wrote at 12 weeks!!! I woke up one morning feeling really drunk!!! It was horrid, the room kept spinning, my stomach kept churning and I kept falling over! Turns out I had something called labyrinthitis(an inner ear infection) but I couldn't take anything over than anti-sickness tablets and they weren't much help!!!
Then at 13 weeks, I started bleeding...not a little either! had a scan the next day and thankfully, bubba was ok, I then started bleeding again at 14 weeks!
I've been having excruciating headaches...constantly! and have been suffering but a really bad back...also constantly!
I had my midwife appointment this week and she just didn't seem to have the time to see me, I was in and out within 5 mins! I was told that my blood pressure was really low (70/40) but she didn't explain anything about it so I'm now worried about that!
Time really seems to be dragging too, it feels as if I've been pregnant forever and I feel huge but I know I still have ages left and that I'm gonna get soooo much bigger, oh yeah, lets not forget that the sickness is back, I tend to feel really ill in the evening and I can't be in moving car for more than a few minutes without feeling like I'm gonna throw up!
My first two pregnancies were so much easier than this, so I'm hoping that I'm having a girl and its just my body reacting differently, but who knows...will find out in 4 weeks hopefully!

20 weeks
WOW�I�m finally half way there!!!!
I can now actually see my belly moving as bubba wriggles around inside me, my OH actually felt him/her move last night for the first time and my 5yr old felt it this morning!
I have my scan on Monday 15th and I�m sooooooooooooooooooo excited, can�t wait to see him/her wriggling around inside me again, I just hope he/she co-operates as we really, REALLY wanna find out the sex, for those of you who don�t know�we�re really hoping for pink, so ladies, keep sending pink thoughts my way please.
Well I�m STILL suffering from headaches and backaches and I�m still REALLY tired all the time, my OH is a godsend though, he�ll do the kids tea, bath them and put them to bed after doing a 12hr shift at work.
I just can�t wait to actually hold bubba in my arms and deeply breath in his/her smell, as I�m sure everyone will agree�there is no better smell than the smell of a new born baby.

Hi, I read your question on Braxton Hicks in week 23 and I'll tell you what my doctor told me - they're not supposed to hurt.

sickamoaning - Tuesday, 7 October
Hi - re your question on BH in week 23. They feel like your tummy's stretching and getting tight then it slowly releases. I'm not sure that I would describe it as feeling like period pain though. I wouldn't panic about it but maybe a wee call to your midwife will set you straight...

Hope your ok x

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We�re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you�re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

We haven't decided on a name yet, although both Claire and Amelia are on our list- that's funny:-) I love Emily as well but it has been the most popular name for like seven years, so there must be an awful lot of them.

kv1027 - Tuesday, 30 September
Yes, I'm having a girl too! I'm glad you are finally feeling a little better.

kv1027 - Tuesday, 30 September
How have you been feeling, Claire?

Hay. I just read your comment about your friends 3 year old. Thats awfull. So what caused it? I also lost my 3 year old boy suddenly last year (he choked on a cherio at his 3rd birthday party). I know I got through it with the love and support of my friends and family. There is nothing that you can say that will make her feel better but just let her know that you are there for her!

PregnantPrincess09 - Friday, 19 September
I just added a new belly shot. And a blog about weight gain:) Hope you are doing great:)

*pink baby dust* ... I hope you get your baby girl!!! Let us know how it goes! *squidge* x

***AMANDABJH - Friday, 12 September
Sharp pain, I would call the Dr, but if its pressure, that is making it very well know to you, its just baby, and he/she thinks they can move just about anywhere in that belly room of theirs. LOL, see if maybe just pushing on your belly will make them move over a bit, just enough to take off the pressure. Hope that helps.

AshleyBeth - Friday, 12 September
I read your post about sex. I was sort of a nympho to begin with and we had sex every night and every morning. Even during my first trimester when I was really sick we kept it up. Now, it seems like my little nymphoness has turned crazy. I want sex all the time like you. My boyfriend will be sleeping and I wake him up for it. I sort of wish it would ease up a bit... I think I'm wearing him out :)

jo easterbrook - Friday, 12 September
