Week 12 : Green Lights
Last week I mentioned that baby still doesn’t feel fully real, and an ingredient in this is OSCAR. Who?! Better known as the Down Syndrome’s test. I guess I didn’t want to get too attached to baby, in case … I have been chatting to baby, saying that if baby would like to stay, mummy would love to have baby in her life, and that baby would grow and develop strongly, normally and healthily. So, I had the test. Nothing to be concerned about! Baby looks like a model of development :). The Obstetrician did ask if I would like to know the sex. Wow, so early?! We said ‘no’. We now have the green light for us to make public baby’s existence :). I...
Read MoreWeek 11 : Relaxin’
Last week, I mentioned of the ache in my left lower back & glutes! Given that I had a week of yoga, from the Kids Yoga Teacher Training, I was mystified as to why the niggle! It began to become more intense, so much so that I started feeling like an old woman moving and hobbling around. I hoped & hoped this wasn’t an ongoing inclusion of my pregnancy … and I’m only at 11 weeks! I promptly made an appointment with my Osteopath. (To find out more about what an Osteopath does, sign up here to access the conversation with my Osteopath about how Osteopathy can support you to achieve wholistic wellness, including in pregnancy.) Luckily, it wasn’t...

We have moved into double digits now! To be honest, baby still doesn’t feel fully real, given the probability of miscarriage is higher in the 1st trimester, and also I’ve got the Down’s Syndrome screening in week 12. Baby is still my little hush-hush, however I have informed my immediate family, manager, my health consultants (physical instructors, physical therapists, medical advisors). I have, however, definitely been feeling the effects of pregnancy! The tiredness has become a daily feature. All I can manage is yoga instruction, going to work … & sleeping! In fact, the yoga instruction provides me with liberation, feeling more energised after a...

Read MoreWeek 9 : Decisions
For the choice of delivery options, I’m leaning towards private visits – with an Obstetrician and the maternity support service (where my checkups would be with a mid-wife for half hour … vs. 5 – 10 minutes at the Obstetrician), and delivery at a public hospital, also with midwife support. I’m also finding it a challenge to make decisions, so I still haven’t completely made up my mind yet! I’ve also become more aware that baby and my body advices me what’s right for us and so I’m paying attention to this instead of everyone else – books and Drs included. For example, without being aware, I’ve been taking a particular protein powder for a few...
