weight loss on pregnancy | Potty Training What you need to know

weight loss on pregnancy

Summer is now officially here and that can only mean one thing for parents with toddlers...potty training!!!!! Out with those nappies and in with naked bottoms dashing around the garden, with mums and dads waving the potty manically, sporadically and above all enthusiastically!  Its a fact that the sale of potties triples in the Summer as does the sale of sticker charts and chocolate bribes (well I actually made that up, but Im sure if tested this hypothesis would be true!). 

I wrote a blog post, The Potty Training One, where I wrote a diary about our week of potty training. This is a no holes barred honest version of the highs and lows of having a nappy free toddler, oh yes, and the pit falls of having a dog in tow too (trust me, this complicates things!!). 

I also wrote a post about the pieces of kit I think you need to start your potty training adventure (!) and a portable potty that fits in your bag that I think is the best thing ever, the Potty To Go. 

And armed with all of that information is all I think you need.  Dont listen to that woman down the post office who potty trained her child at 1 year (she didnt), or that lovely relative who kindly informs you that you are delaying your 18 month by not potty training them, and this could well affect their future career (it wont).  Potty training needs to be done when YOUR child is ready.  When they are showing an interest in the toilet, knowing whether they are wet or dry, and having an awareness of wanting to go to the toilet too.  

Oh, and YOU need to be ready.  Dont do potty training when you have a really busy week at work, when you are having the house redecorated or your in-laws are staying with you for the week! I mean, come on, that is just asking for trouble! 

Potty training is fine, honestly.  Remember when you freaked out about weaning, then once you did it, you wondered why you ever thought your son or daughter would still be living off milk at 32? Yup, well this is just the same.  Forget all the horror stories and if you and your little are ready then just go for it!  

Good luck to all wannabe potty trainers and thanks for reading,

weight loss during pregnancy obese | Pregnancy Blog Week 26

weight loss during pregnancy obese

Im so sorry for this delayed blog post! In fact, I am so sorry for the absolute silence that that has been my blog this last week! As soon as I dont feel well or feel myself, immediately my blog is one of the first things that goes.  Maybe if I was a bit more prepared I would have back-up posts ready, but last week, I had no such back up, so nothing was posted.  

But here I am, and as you may have gathered, week 26 has been a bit bumpy.  I thought I was getting a cold at the end of last week, and that cold did come so I have felt pretty rough for a few days.  But, after I got rid of the cold, I just didnt feel myself.  I had arranged to meet up with various friends in the week, but I was finding everything a real struggle and effort and all I wanted to do was lie on the sofa.  I just felt really tired, aching and nauseous in the mornings. 

Things came to a head in the week when I started to worry that maybe something wasnt right so I rang the midwife on Friday morning who saw me later that day.  She checked baby and everything was absolutely fine and I heard babies heartbeat which was very reassuring. They did some other checks and everything seems to be OK. And for the last few days I have felt much better. 

It really gave me a bit of a wake up call though, and even though I eat quite healthily anyway, Ive ramped it up.  I really want to feel well during this pregnancy. Im now taking a daily pregnancy multi-vitamin, fresh orange juice with breakfast and just making sure Im looking after myself a bit more with lots of fruit and vegetables.

Aside from the drama of not feeling great, Im also really uncomfortable after eating which unfortunately appears to be most of the time as some form of food tends to be in my hand, whether that is fruit or a cookie! The discomfort is right under my ribcage and I find doing some side stretching really helps. 

Bump is certainly sprouting, and I dont think there is any mistaking it now! Someone else asked me if I was excited this week, which really makes me giggle as I want to ask them if thats a serious question or not!!! Erm, of course Im excited, Im having a baby!!!! 

Apologies again for my little absence and as always thank you for reading!

end of pregnancy weight loss | Pregnancy Blog Week 25

end of pregnancy weight loss

Luckily, week 25 has been quite uneventful and Ive had no further catastrophes in pregnancy yoga! I must say, Ive felt much better knowing I dont have to go ever again! Ive felt OK in myself this week, but I still have days where I feel exhausted and then days when I have more energy.  

Ive had a niggling pain right under my ribs all week which gets worse whenever I eat, so thats pretty much all of the time! I think its either baby lying in a funny position, or as Ive read in a pregnancy book, it could be due to my ribs expanding which sounds pretty impressive!

Baby is now the size of a rutabaga if you are interested...which when I Google imaged a rutabaga, looks strangely similar to a swede! 

I was in need of some new maternity clothes, and Im applying the term need loosely here, as the dresses that I had been wearing are now too tight and uncomfortable, and there are only so many times I want to wear a maxi dress!  I popped into Warehouse and found some lovely tops in the sale.  Even though Warehouse dont have a maternity line, I find sizing up the tops works as they tend to be a really nice length and fit over my bump.  The top in the picture was £16 and I got it in a size 16.  I thought when it gets a bit cooler I can wear a chunky cardigan over the top.  

I popped into Topshop and tried a few things on in their maternity range, but I found a few of the dresses to be really short which was a bit disappointing.  I dont think they sometimes account for the amount of fabric it takes to cover the bump and this hitches alot of the hemlines up even more! I ended up buying a pair of Leigh maternity jeans which are super comfy.  

Dont be fooled by the photo above either.  Ive got sunglasses on because all my eye make-up had smudged as I had been running around the park after my daughter all afternoon.  I was exhausted and I think I might be starting with a cold too.  Minutes after this photo was taken, my hair was in a bun, Id taken my make-up off and got into my pjs.  Its glamour all the way here folks...and heres the proof!

Have a lovely weekend!
