So I we t to see captain America and totally broke the rules by downing the drink before the previews finished. This of course led to the plot spoiling need to "water the daises" I went to the loo which was a long walk as I was in the farthest screen from the entrance ,OF COURSE! I was mincing down the hall looking like I was trying to crack a walnut in my arse!
I finally made it to the toilet when I got the itchy nose and EPIC fail! I sneezed. Of course I then peed myself. Oh the joys of pregnancy.
Luckily I was already in the bathroom and it had one of them super dooper hand driers. I quickly dried my underpants and off I went back to the film. No one will ever know. "cue dr evil laugh"
Except you guys of course x

Toilet trauma
Luckily this is not my first time being pregnant so I didn't freak out when this happened but I wanted to post this to make first time mums aware. I went for my pap the other day (smear test for those of you in England) it was a little painful as usual. I didnt think any more of it until I went to the loo and saw blood and some tissue like substance staring back at me from the bowl. What the hell is that?????
Panic not my friends. Luckily it is completely normal after having your pap when pregnant. First time round I was not so relaxed and calm. I was sat there crying on the loo wondering if the aforementioned "duck billed platypus" tool had gone too far. What if the baby saw it? What the heck would it think was happening??? I was clearly wrong but hormones do some crazy shit to your logic.
My lovely midwife reminded me that it goes no where near the baby. It is all good.

Hide and seek
Today was my 11 week appointment. I was due to have a pap smear, 8 vials of blood taken a d finally hear the heartbeat.
I went in and first thing was the heartbeat. This baby really gave us a fright. My midwife had the Doppler and she was searching around for the heartbeat. It was a very tense couple of minutes. We couldn't hear anything. Of course that scene from Marley and me came into my head again. My midwife then asked me to put my fists under my butt to raise the uterus and oh look there you are!!!! Little heartbeat pounding away. It was such a relief! I think all of us were holding our breath. My husband went with me and I am glad he did.
Next the dreaded pap smear. My husband saw the use of the "duck billed platypus" as he calls it and bless him he still stayed. What a rock he is. Thankfully due to My daughter breaking me on the way out I don't experience any pain anymore during pap smears.
It was then that I went to get 8 vials of blood drawn. Is it just me or was I actually getting
Colder as more vials were taken?
I am now on my way home to eat my weight in sugar.

My back is on FIRE!
For all of you who are going through a first pregnancy let me pass on some advice. Drink water CONSTANTLY!!!!! I didn't know this before that if you dehydrate you can get cramps almost like contractions.it can be very dangerous.
I experienced it once first time round and I was told to drink water immediately as there was a risk the uterus would contract. I got a warning sign today. I have a massive headache and my lower back is so painful. Kidneys are clearly struggling. I need to be careful to watch for UTI aswell.
Wow pregnancy is glamorous,,,,

The cat is partially out of the bag
Yesterday we decided to break the news to a close friend. We were at her house for the afternoon. We wanted to let our daughters swim in the pool. So I got to the house and she didn't notice the bump. Me and my husband laughed at how funny the situation was. I was really nervous as I feel slot for this friend as she is also trying to conceive.
She asked me why I wasn't getting in the pool and I just smiled and said ,"because I'm pregnant and don't want to show my belly". Needless to say there was no need to be nervous, she was more than happy for me. It was then that she finally noticed my rather large belly.
There have been alot of rumors going around the family and it is so hard to keep denying it. We are still waiting to the 12 week point. We are going to hear the heartbeat on Wednesday..... We will keep you posted!

Goodbye Heels..... Hello Flats
I have always struggled with a bad back but I LOVE my heels!!! Anyone who knows me knows of my shoe fetish. I am only 5'3 so I love heels, the taller the better.
I would advise all fellow preggos to get the flats as soon as you can. The relief is AMAZING and your back will thank you. Flats are now much more pretty and not so granny like. If you are like me and your feet grow half a size when you are pregnant then maybe find some stretchy ones.
Plus, they are so much more practical. In my 6 month of pregnancy last year I fell over in the garage onto my belly and ended up in hospital for 24 hours observation. I was woken every 30 mins by a nurse who looked like Lurch from the Addams Family. It was also new years eve.
The choice is yours. A fun evening with good grub, comfy shoes and a nice comfy bed. Or, fabulous heels, a night with Lurch and a delivery bed...
I know which one I would choose (this time round lol)

Hot and Cold Flashes
So we are going through one of the most major heatwaves in decades and I'm pregnant. Here come the flashes. The hot flashes tend to come at night and the cold flashes in the day. I got a major cold flash at work this week.
It was 100 degrees outside and with the air conditioning it was about 75 in the office. I realized I was struggling to type and when I looked at my hands my nails had gone completely blue!!!! So my colleague dug out an old heater and within 10 minutes they returned to normal.
The hot flashes come at night and get so intense that they wake me up. It's very difficult as I feel dreadful tossing and turning as it wakes my husband up.
