37 weeks


Pregnancy is weird.

Most women report feeling fabulous in the second trimester, and not so great in the first and third. That was me the first time around too.

This time, I felt very average in the first and second.

But this third trimester is unlike any other. More energy, less pain. More sleep, more 'good' food cravings. None of the nerves that can come with being this close to giving birth, just pure excitement.

I've always said I just want the end result, that I hate being pregnant. But I now understand women who say they love pregnancy.

And I'm very grateful that I could experience that feeling for a little while before it's all over.

    You look so lovely! I completely understand what you are saying here too! My first time I spent most of it puking or just generally feeling like I was going to. The second time round is the most tired I have ever been in my life and I again, just felt like crap. This time round and I really just forgot I was pregnant most of the time before 20 weeks and since then it's still been pretty mild. I now finally understand women who love being pregnant!! Can't wait to see what the next few weeks bring for you. xx
