Hey girls (14th August 07),

My first time of joining in, I just usually read all the comments. I am 29 weeks and 6 days and feeling miserable today. I have got so lazy I can't be bothered to do anything, apart from watch the baby channels, I love to watch different types of women in labour and try and see myself in them.

I am married to my husband Roger, we have been married for 4years and this will be our first child together. I have one daughter aged 13 going on 21 from a previous marriage, so I feel like a firstimmer all over again. My husband has three children aged 20, 15 and 14 from two previous relationships. This pregnancy is completely different from my first, I got really sick from week six, by week ten I had lost 2stone in weight and looked liked an old women. By week 16 I started to feel alot better, going out for walks and being able to eat different foods (boy food taste so good). Week 20 I went for my second scan, I was so eager to find out the sex of the baby, I was told there was no obvious signs that it was a boy, so I should expect a girl. Another girl I thought, I hate plaiting hair, and girls are so cheeky, but on a good note they are really loving and can be helpful after being asked to do something 10 times. Week 24 I started to slow down, and started to become miserable, yelling at everyone especially my daughter (I feel so sorry for her). I had my baby shower at week 27, that was fun, the sun was out so we made it into a barbi, I got a few bits for the baby which was nice. Now in week 29 I have put all my weight back on and a couple of extra pounds, and now feel really fat, (no pleasing some women).

Try to eat healthy, (its so hard when your body craves chocolate)
