Looking good whilst pregnant can be challenging. Looking good whilst pregnant and wearing ethical maternity clothes has at times felt an impossibility. But at 36 weeks, on my third pregnancy, I now feel qualified to introduce you to five ethical…

The Victorians wore corsets, we wear shape wear. Well, most women who’ve had babies do. Thankfully technology has moved on in the past few centuries and also our notion of normalcy. I measured my daughter’s,Daisy’s, waist the other day, and…

It’s 6 weeks since the birth of Laurie. Which, according to books, means things should be getting easier, and my body should be getting back to normal. But, as anybody who’s had a baby knows, my body will never be…

The Bump Without a Baby

n4mummy — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 06:00:24 +0000

It feels like a very long time ago that these photos were taken. Except it wasn’t. Despite being #38weekspregnant, we’d journeyed back to the West Country for my mum’s 60th Birthday. I was determined this baby wasn’t going to arrive.…

I’ve had such a lovely morning. The sun is shining, I’ve been very productive and I’ve even had time to drop a cake into a friend whose son currently has chicken pox. I feel good. The truth be told. I…

Can you believe it, Daisy is two years old and she’s never been to the beach? (Unless you count a cold wintry day in Brighton). She’s watched the changing of the guard, played in the garden at the Science Museum…

Confessions of an Exercise Phobe

n4mummy — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 11:00:03 +0000

Exercise. Confess, how much do you actually do? If the NHS sponsored this post, I’d be encouraging you to keep fit and healthy whilst pregnant, and be the perfect example of how to do that. But that would be hypocritical.…
