I can tell this pregnancy is going well because I just don’t have time to worry about it. I can’t even remember how many weeks pregnant I am which is worrying. Thank goodness I signed up to lots of marketing email so I get weekly reminders! When I bump into mum friends at our weekly…

Are maternity pillows a passion killer?
I’ve got to that stage of my second pregnancy where I need a helping hand in the bedroom. I’ve been using the duvet to make a pillow under my bump but my husband is starting to complain about the lack of duvet (because I’ve obviously been using his quota of duvet!). However I can’t quite…
I need some support
Boobs, love ’em or hate ’em but mine are definitely growing bigger throughout my pregnancy (and bigger than I remember last time round!). I have been in desperate need of a maternity bra and recently seized my opportunity. I was out shopping with a friend in Covent Garden when I remembered there was a branch…
I need some flowers!
The weather has been so strange over the last few days, really hot. This is great if you like blue, cloudless skies but not so great at 7 months pregnant! As much as I don’t want to wish away the next 8 weeks, I am looking forward to proper autumnal weather, being less physically tired…

This every day drink has been fortified with just the right amount of Folic Acid and vitamins to ensure women get everything their body needs. The water has a slight citrus flavour and is…
Gingerbread house finds
Last week was a bit crazy. It started with Edward’s first trip to the cinema, his first photo shoot for Mother & Baby magazine, a trip to the Gurgle blog awards (where I came third in my category and won a £250 Mothercare voucher) and ended with lunch with Elmo. Crazy, amazing and quite tiring…
Bumpwatch – 27 weeks
My bump seems to have doubled overnight! At 27 weeks Second Baby is measuring 35.5cm long and weighs over 760g. It’s still really active which is giving me peace of mind as I’m in the middle of a loooong gap between maternity appointments. My last scan was on the 25th July and my next scan…
