I’m having a little worry. Not a panic (yet) just a worry. It’s that old chestnut money. Most worries and stresses and arguments seem to stem from money, and for me at the moment, it’s a constant source of stress.
In three months’ time I’ll be on the final countdown to maternity leave. I’m already part-time, so my maternity pay will be lower than it was when I was… Continue reading

Today I went to a pelvic and back pain class at the physiotherapy department. I have been getting niggly pain recently which has been getting steadily worse, and when I was getting constant sciatic and symphysis pubis pain, I thought it was time to stop ignoring it and do something.

I’ve been thinking recently about just how different this pregnancy feels to my last one. It’s not just that feeling of having done it all before – that sounds callous, and I don’t mean it to.

A few weeks ago, I felt Little Pea move. Just a tiny fluttery, bubbly sensation (no, it definitely wasn’t wind) but a definite sensation. Two days ago The Boyfriend felt Little Pea move. Suddenly the Pea is big enough to make his or her presence felt in the outside world. At 19 weeks old, Little Pea is a part of everyone’s life, not just my own. This amazes me, and… Continue reading
