A scan photo of Peanut from the 20-week scan

I can’t quite believe I’m already at the halfway point with this pregnancy. The weeks seem to be going by very quickly. I’m now at the stage where I’m enjoying my pregnancy. I have a reasonable amount of energy and am mostly feeling quite comfortable. In all honesty, there are times when I almost forget… Read More

​​I suppose there was once a time when going for a scan was exciting. When it was an opportunity to see my baby again, something to look forward to. I don’t really remember that though. The first scan with Jessica wasn’t exciting. It was an early scan due to a first trimester bleed. A scan… Read More

​A few weeks ago, we went for our 12 week scan. As we waited, my eyes were drawn to one door in the corner. The sonographer called my name and led us in the direction of that door. Please not that one, I thought, but she headed towards it with a smile and invited me… Read More

Third time around: reflections on the first trimester

07/02/201817/08/2022
A 12 week scan photo

I remember thinking when I was pregnant with Sophie that I didn’t want it to be my last pregnancy. Despite the struggles of adjusting from one to two, and dealing with postnatal depression, there was a big part of me that just didn’t feel “done”, that wanted to have just one more. It’s something hubby… Read More
