Life's Little Journeys - My Pregnancy, Week 4

Forty and pregnant - my pregnancy - week 1


The fourth installment of a week by week account of my recent pregnancy - as seen on the just released Baby A-Wake Complete Antenatal Exercise and Wellbeing DVD.Hope you enjoy following...

Week 4 - Of course I have no idea that I am pregnant. We've had a few mishaps in the past and we haven't banked on definitely being able to have another child. Let's say I am not exactly counting the days to my next period. So life as normal then...Another big weekend - Friends hen night!!! Oh God! It has to be said that my poor little baby was not only conceived under a big slosh of fizzy stuff but had to endure yet another night of alcohol. I have it on good authority that at this stage it wouldn't do baby any harm - not that I'd be drinking if I knew I was pregnant but the fact is, in this first month, most of us bloody well don't know. If we don't suspect being up the duff then we can't be expected to hide under the duvet until it's time to go pee on a stick. So my lovelies, don't go beating yourself up if you did the same as me. For the first few weeks ONLY baby will be fine. Of course, if you are doing the calendar thing and cheekily marching your partner up the stairs for an opportune moment to have a bit of baby making nooky, definitely lay off the hard stuff - it's good preparation for the months to come. Now, little egg - you are currently burrowing yourself into the lining of my uterus and working on what you do best - growing! This can cause a little bit of spotting, hence why many of us think we are having another period and therefore not pregnant...Oh My...How little do we know...!

Life's Little Journeys - My Pregnancy - Week 3

Forty and pregnant - my pregnancy - week 1


The third installment of a week by week account of my recent pregnancy - as seen on the just released Baby A-Wake Complete Antenatal Exercise and Wellbeing DVD.Hope you enjoy following...

Week 3 - Close friends are getting married this weekend. It will be a swell do in the marvellous City of London. Decided to make a day and a night of it and leave beautiful boy of 4 years old with his Swedish Aupair. Start to feel guilty when other parents arrive at the chapel, little ones in tow. Few glasses of champagne settle that one, especially when said parents turn up to the reception, without wee ones. Well at least I didn't lose mine on the way. It really was a fabulous wedding and yes, yes, I was drunk. Not falling over drunk but definitely very, very tipsy. Just where would the UK population be without power cuts, cup finals and drunken party nights? - I do believe that feel good hormones play an important part in the old egg and sperm dance of conception. Don't think I'll market 'getting drunk' as a preconception training idea but I do like to think that having happy campers leads to better results. We work hard at making our garden plants happy so that they bear more fruit, so why not us? Hubby wants me to note that he had a headache. Why I don't know. (Why he wants me to note it that is, not why did he have a headache!) Is that some kind of male prowess?

Life's little journeys - My Pregnancy - Week 2

Forty and pregnant - my pregnancy - week 1


The second installment of a week by week account of my recent pregnancy - as seen on the just released Baby A-Wake Complete Antenatal Exercise and Wellbeing DVD.Hope you enjoy following...

Turns out best friend and husband are not having an affair but that they were indeed planning a surprise party for me. Have to say they both did a grand job. Best friend managed to keep me occupied all day away from home whilst hubby and rest of friends rallied around making food and insuring that every one from my far off sisters to next doors cat were there to welcome me when I arrived home. I was very touched by the whole thing - best party ever. Have to say I don't feel 40 - whatever that feels like. As for you Egg...You are looking just fine - ready to be released into the old fallopian tube - that lovely period of the female cycle called ovulation.

Life's little journeys - My Pregnancy - Week 1

Forty and pregnant - my pregnancy - week 1


The first installment of a week by week account of my recent pregnancy - as seen on the just released Baby A-Wake Complete Antenatal Exercise and Wellbeing DVD.Hope you enjoy following...

It's my birthday week and I have tried to forget the fact that I will be 40 years old in just a few days. Husband and best friend being a bit sheepish - think they may be up to something. Of course I have no idea that as I turn 40 I am also going to be heading into the first week of my pregnancy. It's a weird thing how your pregnancy starts from the last cycle of your period and not from when you actually conceive. So Hello Egg!!! Looks like you are going to be the lucky one! We have a little journey to travel on together. Think it's going to be a long one but hopefully not a bumpy ride - for some reason I am thinking about when you will be a teenager? Oh my God I'll be 53! Best to forget about that one now and concentrate on the next few weeks - we have work to do!
