I felt the need to write. After going through a traumatic experience it is very easy to feel differently about yourself. Negatively about yourself. However, it is normal. Talk to someone who will listen, be nonjudgemental, genuine. Damn talk to yourself. look after yourself. do things to make yourself feel good. get a massage, eat cake, whatever makes you happy. I strongly dislike the saying 'Whatever you're worrying about right now, ask yourself, would this matter 10 years from now'... sometimes the answer is yes. So what then. Sometimes slow down a little and whatever you do, do it for you! Having a strong mind creates a powerful person. #MentalHealthAwareness

This might seem like an odd thing to most people as, after pregnancy, they are struggling to lose the weight. However, much like myself. there is a majority of us trying to put the weight back on as we lose it during pregnancy. From previous posts, I mentioned I lost weight and was extremely sick because of pregnancy. My son is now one and I and have only just got back to 61kg. (Big achievement for me) Jan 18- 57.4kg May 18- 56.2 kg July 18- 56.7 kg Nov 18- 57.1 kg For the life of me, I couldn't gain weight. I then ordered Apetmin. I have tried this before and I didn't have much luck, however after forcing myself to eat 3000 kl a day I gained some weight. In December I gained and went up to 60kg. Before pregnancy I was 69kg. I was very happy with my weight. At the time weight was a constant downhill motion. I must add, it wasn't just the pregnancy alone that caused me to loose weight, i was also very stressed. After giving birth I was 54kg then my weight ...

It has been a week to the day since I last breastfed K and to be completely honest, it is a bittersweet feeling! I thought this day would never come. I breastfed for a year and 3months. My boobs are done for. The damage is done now so, I guess it is what it is. Through breastfeeding K, I saw how women who did choose to breastfeed their babies, were frowned upon as though it wasn't a normal thing to do. The way people react to a woman breastfeeding her child is out of order, however being a 'strong woman that I am (LOL) I didn't care. As a mother, your child needs come first. Have I breastfed in public? YES. would I do ever do it again? YES. I have only done it in the park and on a plane. K only started to take the bottle at around 11 months, if I remember correctly. No matter what I tried [ formula, breast milk, changing the bottle, cold milk, warm milk] he just would not accept the bottle. On a good day, he would drink 4oz of pumped milk, but it was lik...

My sons first birthday came a long and i wanted pictures to create memories of course. I had seen smash cake photographers for around £150 plus which i thought was a bit crazy for a few pictures and a cake he would be smashing. i think my pictures turned out pretty ok before editing. What i needed.... balloons, party banners, lights, cake, cake stand, camera and lights. I baked the cake as i bake- you can bake a cake from a packet if baking isnt your thing. I already had a camera and camera lights but expensive things are not 100% necessary. A decent lit room and a phone with a good camera ie iPhone 8 will do the job nicely. everything costed around £10.   He was not very keen at first Even at his age he hates messy hands!! Was pleased with how it ended  xx

We are currently on day three of the sleep training which is killing me. I am only looking at night sleep as i feel there will be far too much crying trying to include naps also. He is a consistent night waker wanting a cuddle or boob. Night one- Baby went down at 11:00 where the crying began all the way up until 00:29, where he finally fell asleep. We started out leaving him for 5mins, 7mins, then every 10mins. I feel as though the checking on him makes him cry 10 times harder but i feel even more guilt if i let him cry for longer. so what do i do? Anyway, after he fell asleep he woke up at 8:17, which was unbelievable for him. You would think at 10months he would be sleeping longer stretches but no. I am working on a routine at the minute and trying to get him to bed earlier but if his second nap is late it messes things up. I'll be back for night two! xx
