This may well be my crudest post yet, but after being awarded the official ‘Baby on Board’ badge by a pal last week the writing my reality check came the other day, when I’d booked into have a ‘wax’ having realised I could no longer see my bits! SORRY!
That’s it, i’m now officially a waddler at almost 7 months pregnant. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m know I’m not the first pregnant person, this isn’t me moaning, just acknowleding.
I’m also chuffed that my daily commute doesn’t involve regular journey’s on London transport, so I don’t need to display this badge all that often.
What is interesting, is with all the advice and chats I’ve been having now I’m expecting, little is often said about how your ever changing body really makes you feel. I hear plenty of tales of how much people love being pregnant, and how they miss it, the odd tale of how awful people felt.. But we don’t really talk about the intimacies of how it really makes your feel as your body changes.
Surrounded by images of celebrities and their baby bumps there are for me still the inevitable comparisons you make when you meet someone at the same stage as you.
If like me, you’re pregnant for the first time, you have no idea how your body is going to look during the pregnancy. I knew I wouldn’t have a pretty neat bump and have said that in a previous post, but what I am now finding myself somewhat fixating with, is how much bigger will I get.
I’ve found myself wondering can I control it, should I be thinking like this?
My main concern really is the hip pain I’m experiencing so having a hubby who is a personal trainer am trying to maintain a level of strength and fitness throughout, that and the fact I have to get up at 4am, and I’m not really sleeping well which i know isn’t going to change for a good while.
