A visit to A+E....

Ironically, I was watching this when I had to go to A+E!

Weird pregnancy symptom of the month - May

Well, it could be worse......

Constipation and hemorrhoids.....yum!

Ah...the glam life of pregnancy eh?!

Past few days I've felt like I'm passing a small brick through my back passage...

Apparently this is normal as Beanie is either pushing up on my rectum (nice image) or  the extra blood in my system is causing my bum veins to swell a bit.....

Tips and remedies I've been given so far:
Rinse a clean cloth in ice cold water and place in bum region

Or

Preparation H to sooth the region...which also doubled for ladies in the 1970's as a home eye lift cream! Go figure!

Don't try that at home ladies......

Rose on a summers day....

Today I indulged in a small (125 ml) glass of Rose...it was a colleagues surprise Tropical Tea Party in honour of her getting married abroad and leaving the team....


We all went to a local pub afterwards (no one at the pub knows of my pregnancy) and I must admit the lure of the vino was too strong...

It was my first drink since Valentines day, where the Bear and I went to a comedy event, got smashed, got laid and here we are!

Bad news is I now feel guilty I've destroyed beanies brain cells.....

I don't think I'll have nay more booze....


Guilt is so much worse than a hangover.....

Haven't told OH....he'll go ballistic!

NHS advice is to abstain during first three months, so as not to risk miscarriage or impair development

New bed....

If you've got a bad back, or are feeling uncomfortable......consider a memory foam mattress......lush....

Best nights sleep I've had in years and all my recent aches and pains disappeared after one night on the mattress!
