I have never in my life understood the sadness being an over-sized pregnant whale means to anyone.... I was huge!! super huge all be it i carried front-ways with the boys. To the unsuspecting pedestrian trying to over take me in the street was more of a Grand Prix level race. I couldn't go any faster or slower if i tried.

You know like when you trip? Not just trip but proper trip and your body just literally follows through? this was life no glam Lamborghini pick speed up when you needed to it was Super truck 14 gears pick up speed slowly then when you were there that was your speed for the day. ​​​​

19 weeks 2 days not quite half way there

Now i bet your thinking 'aaaaaah but that is such a lovely bump' yes....it felt this way at the time(boys sleeping) but the moment the two growing, tummy kicking, space snatching babies have taken over my poor body to an extreme where i felt that unsure worry as when you blow a balloon to the maximum where you hesitate for 5 minutes for that all expected POP but i wasn't all that lucky.

I got BIGGER.

27 weeks 4 days...... that is all.....

Full term yet they say? Surely your well overdue? 'LOVE' If only that was the case (screamed in my head) I still have one whole month before these body hoggers are evicted and its not a moment too soon.

When you have IVF you expect the emotional roller-coaster, kicked when your done feeling, purple pin cushion body as almost a hurdle before the glorious finish line that is pregnancy and blossoming glow. So wrong! I was fully under the illustrious impression i was going to have a beautiful care free pregnancy like all these lovely looking yummy mummy's. Some of it was the good was GOOD, and oh my the bad was truly BAD.

Symptom 1 - Incurable sickness.

With every remedy, travel band, and finally prescription life savers(safe in pregnancy anti-sickness)

Symptom 2 - Back pain.

Wheaty bags & massages that were some what great for sending you to sleep for half hour before your next wee.

Symptom 3 - Fatigue.

Blimey two well growing babies totally depleted my iron levels and could have honestly slept the rest of my pregnancy.

Symptom 4 - Obstetric cholestasis.

........... The itching......... WOW i could have rolled my feet and hands over Velcro or razor blades and it wouldn't cure the itching!! Day, night, meal time, walking it was there.... like a BITCH.
