Can eating a vegan diet in pregnancy really be healthy?
A contribution post by Louise Palmer-Masterton There is a widely-held belief that humans are omnivorous (both meat- and plant-eating), so eating a solely vegan-based diet with no meat, fish or poultry cannot be safe in pregnancy. However, I and many others, would disagree with that statement. I was almost 40 years old when I was […]

Pregnancy: 36 Weeks
I can’t believe it’s week 36 already! … I can now say the end of this pregnancy is almost near. 🙂 I’ve been logging back into my BabyCentre forum (May 2016 board) and discovered there are a few of us May mums that have met their bubbas already. According to the BabyCentre website babies born from […]

Pregnancy: 34 Weeks
Only 6 weeks left until my due date! Eeeeek – not long to go now… I’ve started my maternity leave as of last week. A little early I know but to be honest I am glad I have taken it now as I can really feel how much my body craves sleep and rest. I […]

Pregnancy: On the hunt for a “pretty” nursing bra
Who said maternity lingerie had to be frumpy looking? Most maternity bras on the market for us mums-to-be nowadays have better shapes, are really comfy and designed to look good and feel good. (Finally!) In my recent search I came across so many maternity lingerie brands; some names that I really liked and recognised, others that I hadn’t […]

Pregnancy: My battle with gestational diabetes
In 2013 when I was pregnant with LO, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I was shocked don’t get me wrong but not overly surprised as there’s history of diabetes on both sides of my family (maternal and paternal). I did my best to make sure I kept my blood sugar levels within the normal range […]

The 7 Pregnancy Spa Treatments Every Mother-To-Be Should Try
I’m not talking about just the old pregnancy massage or manicure/pedicure. I’m talking about spa body treatments specially designed for a mother-to-be. Hurrah! 🙂 I came across a few good treatments in my search but it wasn’t very easy. Funny that, because there are thousands of women going through pregnancy each year you would think that these specialised body treatments […]

Pregnancy: Exercise or nah?
Is it really a good idea to start exercising during your pregnancy or not? The docs and midwives will tell you it’s not recommended to start exercising during your pregnancy if you were never “active” before. So for me, in my first pregnancy I didn’t bother with exercise. Not even a single prenatal workout DVD […]

Pregnancy: 26 weeks today!
Hurrah! Six and a half months already. I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone! This pregnancy was similar to my first pregnancy with LO but I’ve been more tired and more achy earlier on. Maybe it’s because my muscles aren’t as strong as the first time round. For that reason, I have been trying to adopt […]
