Bellytastic: February 2010
http://bellytastic.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. The mysterious case of the low-lying placenta. I had my first pregnancy scare at the weekend as I experienced slight spotting (or bleeding). Apparently bleeding during pregnancy is not as rare as you might think and can be caused by any number of things, although miscarriage is naturally the first thing which springs to an anxious mother-to-be's mind! In any case, the general advice is to ring the hospital straight away - and when I did, I was told to come in immediately. Top m...

Bellytastic: Month 5: Food, Sleep and Orange Therapy
http://bellytastic.blogspot.com/2011/02/month-5-food-sleep-and-orange-therapy.html
Sunday, February 6, 2011. Month 5: Food, Sleep and Orange Therapy. I can't believe that over five whole months have passed since Abigail was born. Where did it go? The last major milestone was rolling and now things have moved on again. At 20 weeks she had her first taste of solids: carrot puree. At 20 weeks 2 days I abandoned carrot because it's too damn orange! This morning, Abigail made a lunge for my toast, so I gave her some baby porridge, which she wolfed down.

Bellytastic: March 2010
http://bellytastic.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. Pregnancy has its ups and downs and last week was definitely a down week. I had two nights of very painful cramps to the point where I seriously thought I was going into labour. It can be quite common for pregnant ladies to experience Braxton Hicks (or "practice contractions"), but any more than 6 per hour is cause for concern. (I timed them and had 13 in one hour - and they really hurt! Http:/ www.irritable-uterus.com/. Friday, March 19, 2010. Bump Watch: Week 17. So what was a l...

Abigail enjoying the baby play mat at Cynthia's house. Cynthia's baby Maddy (top) and Abi (bottom) get to know each other. Why is it that when you visit friends, your little bundle of joy puts on her best behaviour? Why do babies do this? To which I can only assume Harriet has long forgotten the days when Connie scream...

Saturday, May 22, 2010. Bump Watch - Week 27. Proving that you can be pregnant and stylish, here's a LBD I picked up from Top Shop's maternity range. A snip at $130 (bearing in mind I saw a posh maternity frock in another shop for nearly $400! A VIP party with the dreaded dress code (well, at least when you're pregnant): Black Tie.

Bellytastic: August 2010
http://bellytastic.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Opening and softening of the cervix (nope - more tightly closed than a Yorkshire man's purse strings). Increased bowel movements/diarrhoea (No, but if I keep on the curry who knows.). Loss of the rather vile sounding "mucous plug". (The closest I got to losing a plug was unblocking the bathroom sink this week). A pink discharge - or "bloody show". (Well, in an effort to keep myself entertained I have been to see 3 bloody shows at the gold class cinema in recent weeks). Most do...

Monday, February 28, 2011. Own bed or not, this is one stubborn madam (wonder where she gets that from? Who won't go down without a fight. Over the course of time, we evolved a complex bedtime ritual which involved bathing, massage, bottle, story, songs, rocking, patting, night lights and dummies. Give lots of cues, the books said. Well - durr! The only thing missing here was a big neon flashing sign saying "Hey! It worked for us"; "You have to do it - be cruel to be kind! You have to wait until your bab...
