I haven't posted in absolutely ages as was busy giving birth to my now six month old son and have been completely preoccupied with looking after him! It was tough at first, but things have got easier due to us managing to get him into a bit of a routine. He is, however, exactly like … Continue reading ‘Baby blues’?

Last trimester exercise! The end is in sight…
At my prenatal exercise class the other night, my teacher told me that the exercise I had been doing in my barre class were actually quite dangerous! I have always loved Barre and anything ballet based, so thought that I'd be okay to continue throughout my pregnancy. I have read many places that if you … Continue reading Last trimester exercise!

Street harassment in London
I'm really tiring of the harassment that I am experiencing on a near daily basis around the area in which I live. For some reason I thought I may no longer draw male attention to myself now that I am clearly pregnant at over 7 months, but the level has stayed exactly the same. Two … Continue reading Street harassment in London
Hypnobirthing (Natal Hypnotherapy)
Now in my 7th month of pregnancy, I have become more and more anxious about the impending birth. Random questions such as 'will I die during childbirth?' (pretty ridiculous) and 'what if I just can't push it out?' have been ever more present in my mind. Friends of ours who have a one year old … Continue reading Hypnobirthing (Natal Hypnotherapy)

At the minute, due to the exercise I am currently doing, I look like … Continue reading Fitness during pregnancy
At last-a dynamic prenatal yoga class
After attending prenatal classes at various studios in North London, I ended up not going to my weekly class due to the sheer boredom I normally experience there. I don't use yoga to 'connect with my baby' or 'see the light within'; I have always practiced purely for strength and flexibility which results in a … Continue reading At last-a dynamic prenatal yoga class
Don’t touch my belly!
Why the staring? Since becoming pregnant, people have started to act incredibly strangely. I have started to show, but it is unbelievable the amount of people (strangers and customers at work included) that will stare at my tummy, whether they are talking to me or not. I find that it makes me incredibly uncomfortable; it's … Continue reading Don’t touch my belly!
Getting sweaty at a prenatal class Frame style
I love Frame. For those of you who haven't heard of it, Frame is a dance/fitness studio with locations including Shoreditch, Queens Park and recently opened (and my local) Kings Cross. Before becoming pregnant, I regularly attended ballet and Music Video classes at the Shoreditch studio. Now, at nearly 14 weeks, I'm only allowed (as … Continue reading Getting sweaty at a prenatal class Frame style
