Hi Kathleen
Congrats (again!).......
I never got a chance to tell you about my pregnancy etc before so here goes.....
I craved Oranges (ate 10 a day)...people said Jack would be born looking like an orange lol,Pepperoni and mushroom pizza-cold.....for breakfast but never during the day.Pilchards on toast, and sherbet.
Had really bad morning sickness for the first 3 months
and heartburn that had me drinking gaviscon like it was pop.
I was in labour for a couple of days and the birth was good-i loved the drugs haha,no complications and apart from the last minute wasnt actually too painful-i would say more uncomfortable.
I breastfed for 9 weeks-i didnt realise how tiring and stressful it was until i stopped...bottle feeding was easier but i knew breastmilk was best for him and im 100% sure Jacks immune system is so good because i fed him myself for a while.Although when he waking every hour in the night for a feed i was soooooo tired
I must say that although i knew i only wanted one child,Jack has clarified this for me....having a baby is extremely hard work.I know people say it but until you have one you dont know the full extent.
On the otherhand because Jack is growing up and is no longer a baby..............Im extremely broody!But im fighting it....i really couldnt go through all that again.
