normal pregnancy weight loss | 5 things never to say to a pregnant lady

normal pregnancy weight loss

As soon as you announce that you are pregnant, it would appear that the general universe loses any sense of political correctness or common sense when they talk to you. In fact, I would go as far to say that when Im pregnant, people say the downright weird and bizarre to me.  Today I thought I would share my top five favourites of things you should NEVER say to a pregnant lady, and suitable alternatives which you might find useful should you encounter when a lady with a bump!  

"Replace "you look like a cave woman who hasnt slept in weeks" with, "wow you looking amazing, youre glowing!". 

1. "You look really really *big*" 

*Here you can replace the word big with any given adjective that suggests the size of their bump isnt normal, i.e, small, tiny, huge, enormous, gargantuan. 
Indeed, the size of the bump is the centre of much debate. But guess what? Its as big as its meant to be! Pregnancy is so individual and so are bump sizes.  Try instead saying, "Wow, what a lovely bump you have there. You look amazing!". 

2. "Do you think youre having twins?" 
Please see above for why this is statement is unacceptable, you may as well ask if she is birthing an elephant. Try replacing with,"Wow, you look amazing with such a perfect bump".

3. "Are you excited??"

I really cant figure out the answer that a person is trying to get from you here. Do they expect you to say no and then launch into a story of how un-excited you are????? Best not even mention this ridiculous statement and just go with, "Wow, you are looking great today!". 

4. "Was it a surprise?"

Ahhh, this old chestnut.  Ive never been asked this one personally, but Ive heard other people ask it so many times.  What they may as well ask is if you were taking birth control or was the birth the result of a random and unexpected night of passion.  Fair enough if your mum or best friend asks you, but the woman who barely talks to you at playgroup, asking you over the play-dough table? Erm nope. Again, polite etiquette is to smile politely and say, "Pregnancy really suits you.  Kim K has nothing on you". 

5. "You should really get your sleep in now".
This statement works on the theory that you can somehow bank sleep now and then utilise these extra hours when you need it most.  Yeah right.   have you tried to sleep with a bowling ball to one side of you and needing to pee at least 5 times a night.  Best to simply smile, keep your sleep advice to yourself and say, "Wow, youre looking amazing today!". 

Im sure there are so many more that I could add to the list, but these are the ones at the top of my list. I know the majority of people mean no harm at all when they say the above things, but it makes me feel better to have a good giggle at how ridiculous some can sound!

Have you heard any funny pregnant comments? Or are you guilty of saying any of the above? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

nhs pregnancy weight loss | Soap Glory Archery Review

nhs pregnancy weight loss

I always used to use a shadow and brush to shape and define my eyebrows as I felt that sometimes pencils could leave you with eyebrows that resembled being drawn on and not be very natural looking.  But, as I was going to be doing alot of travelling earlier this year, I thought I would give an eyebrow pencil another ago for ease and quickness of use on my travels. Enter Soap and Glorys Archery brow tint and precision shaping pencil. 

This product isnt really an eyebrow pencil at all in the traditional sense.  The product has two ends which do two different things to your brows. 

On one end is a wet-feel tinted brush that you apply first to fill in any areas on your eyebrows.  When I first applied this, I didnt think any of the product was coming out as it felt so light, but thats the beauty of it because it is so light and natural looking, and there is a subtle difference. 

After applying this, you then apply the other end of the pencil which is like a waxy crayon.  You further shape and fill your brows and the crayon nicely fills them out, without being too heavy or dark. 

I love the overall effect of this product, as my brows still look like mine, just that bit better and fuller.  The product last all day on my brows, and its so quick and simple to use, really anyone could apply this and not go wrong. 

The pencil comes in two shades, Love Is Blonde, which I use, and a darker Brownie Points. The pencil is £10 from Boots and is normally in a 3 for 2 offer, so it might be worth treating yourself to some other bits from the collection! Here you can read my review on their sexy mother blusher.

pregnancy nausea weight loss | Pregnancy Blog Week 29

pregnancy nausea weight loss

I have come to the conclusion that a week of my pregnancy blog doesnt seem to go by without some sort of drama.  From a bad experience at pregnancy yoga to thinking I was in labour.  Now not to give you the wrong impression that something drastic happens every week, on the whole, I feel really well, and to look at me youd think I had it all together (looks can be deceiving!).  But having said all of that, my week 29 hasnt exactly been quiet.  (Enter pregnancy hormones). 

Hormone example number 1: last night I shed a tear over not having any nice clothes to wear (erm, I have) and that I look awful in everything (erm, I dont). As well as crying over something as stupid and trivial as that, Ive been feeling really tired. This then makes me feel guilty for not having the energy to play with my three year old.  

Hormone example number 2: yesterday, I could have just slept all afternoon, and no amount of decaf tea or chocolate could perk me up. It was also a day that my daughter felt the need to be at my side every single second.  At one point she was watching me lying on the bed, and I just thought how terrible I am that I cant be bothered to play with her. 

Of course, I completely overlooked the fact that we had been painting in the morning, Id taken her to a play area and sand pit the day before, and we had done some baking the day before that.  Oh no, in my hormonal state, I do most things wrong, then cry about them, oh, including being the worst mother ever.  My ability to rationalise has definitely gone out of the window this week.  

Hmmmm, this blog may be reading a tad more dramatic than I had envisaged!!! But this is meant to be an honest account of my pregnancy, so I feel its important to share. These little hiccups aside, Im well and baby is well and thats all that really matters. 

I cant believe that in one weeks time, I will only have ten weeks left!!!! That sounds like so so little time.  And I STILL havent finished my labour book!!!!
