Second Trimester | Baby Series

Well as I'm due in 2 weeks time now seems like as good a time as any to write about my experience of the second trimester...not that I'm forgetful or anything and meant to write this weeks ago! The second trimester is the 13th week until the 28th and is generally considered the time when you enjoy pregnancy the most. Obviously that's subjective and I can't say that I felt any better throughout the second trimester than I did in the first. But for me that was largely down to still being sick almost every day and my mental health took a massive hit during this time too.

Pregnancy and COVID-19 | Baby Series

So I guess you've probably heard there's a pandemic going on?? And I'm sure like me you've lost count how many times you've heard the word coronavirus since January and are wondering if it's quite possibly the most spoken word to have ever existed. And also like me you might have had a rather rude awakening to the fact that inside isn't as much fun as I thought it would be! My teenage dream of staying indoors, not interacting with the world, watching crap TV and eating endless amounts of rubbish has been realised and I'm left with somewhat of a bitter taste in my mouth (although with the amount of chocolate I have consumed I'm surprised my tongue knows what bitter tastes like anymore). But it has to be done and I guess it gives me a chance to do all those odd jobs I never managed to find time for before...

First Trimester | Baby Series

I honestly never expected to be posting things about my pregnancy on my blog so soon after getting married but I guess with all the baby and wedding posts coming your way this year it will at least look like I have my life together...or maybe not. At the time of writing this I am 20/nearly 21 weeks pregnant so now seems like a good time to look back over my first trimester. For those who don't know the first trimester is from the first to the 13th week of pregnancy. Most people don't know they're experiencing the first trimester at least for the first few weeks. As we were actively trying to get pregnant I was on red alert every time my period date was near so I found out the day I was late, making me about 4 weeks pregnant. So I got to experience most of the first trimester. A blessing and a curse.
