week 39

I keep thinking it’s only one week left of this pregnancy but of course I’m aware that it might just as well be three. I had my last midwife appointment on Monday. The baby is still in the correct position and we could hear a good, strong heartbeat. I raised my concerns about the fact […]

week 38

I just need to start off by saying – how on earth can there be a fully developed baby in there?? Yep, the baby is now completely ready to take on the outside world! How amazing is that!? Yesterday we passed 38 weeks and every day I have to remind myself that we are getting one […]

Week 37

I have been back in London for a week now after a relaxing and fun time in Sweden. Not only did I get to spend 10 days in beautiful Österlen but I was also surprised with a baby shower organised by my wonderful friends. I can’t believe that they were able to pull it together […]

week 34

We are now in week 34 (as from Wednesday) and what better way to start a new pregnancy week than with our fourth and last scan. Everything looked good. Little B is growing well and the placenta has moved up and placed itself where it should be. It was also confirmed that Little B is […]

how we found out

I love watching pregnancy announcements on YouTube. In most of them the women surprise their partners with a gift of the pregnancy test or a piece of baby clothing. Other times the couples surprise their families in similar ways. I think it is an absolute joy to watch! Before getting pregnant I was thinking I […]

week 32

The UK is going through a heatwave and it has been about 30c for almost a week now. It’s not the ideal last trimester temperature, but one should not complain! But if I can complain a little I would say that the heat is challenging my mood. The other morning for example I was getting […]

week 31

I didn’t manage to make an update for week 30 as I was sick and passed out in the bed all last week. Today at lunch time Kiwi and I made a visit to Rosemary Gardens, which is a park 5 minutes from our flat. It was so nice to feel the sun on the […]

Do I have Gestational Diabetes?

Good morning from a rainy and grey London. It was many weeks ago the rain was this heavy, but the sound of it is calming and restful. I have made myself a cup of green tea from Pukka. It’s smooth and warm and the perfect contrast to what’s going on outside the window. Since coming […]

week 29

In the second trimester I forgot I was pregnant all the time, but now in week 29 I am reminded way more often. The baby is making cart wheels (at least that’s what is feels like) both day and night.  Little one, I don’t understand how you still can have so much space to move around? […]
