REMEDIES || I’m pretty much mended with a side of gunky cough and cracked lips. I thought I’d share with you what I did to help me through what felt like the end of the world. 🤧😷 - NON MEDICINES || 💊 REST, If your a first time mum, get as much rest as you can. Second+ time mum - Throw snacks at your children, stick on a TV marathon run of Peppa Pig or Paw Patrol and plonk yourself on the sofa. Do not move unless your children need a nappy change! 🤞🏼Repeat however many times necessary. 💊 FLUIDS - Warm pineapple, lemon, honey & ginger - Extended recipe sent to me by a fellow insta superwoman 👩🏻‍🎤 It was just really nice on the throat. 💊 PRENATAL VITS - I’m not usually a fan of these things, anything that turns my flow aluminous yellow scares the shite out of me and what it’s doing on the inside but I take these when I feel really run down. 💊 SOAK - Get a good soak in, you’ve probably not washed in a while (looking at all you existing mothers more so)! You’ll feel like you’ve treated yourself especially if you light some candles, use your fav bubble bath and supply the side of the bath with a nutritious choccy salad. 😉🍫 💊 FRESH - I literally had to drag myself out the door with Dylan. The thought of going out feeling like poo with a toddler was hell but getting out for some fresh air was one of the best things I did. ⚠️ Stock your pockets with 1000 tissues and some lip balm though! 🤧 💊 SUGAR - Sod the diets mamas, you need sugar to give you some energy when you’re feeling run down, pass me the Percy Pigs would ya! 🍬 💊 LAST STRAW - Everyone has their views on this so do what you feel is best. At breaking point I rummaged the pill pot and grabbed me some paracetamol. - - - #secondpregnancyjourney #secondtrimester #sickandpregnant #mumlife #mumhack #mummylife #parentingblogger #mummybloggeruk #dailyparenting #motherhoodraising #ohheymamas

CONFESSION || Hi, my names Sarah. I coughed so hard this morning, I pee’d myself. - Nothing say ‘pregnancy #2’ like a dodgy pelvic floor ey?! - UPDATE: I’m 19 weeks in a day or two (I’ve lost track of it all tbh). Not only am I extremely self conscious of my body this time round, I’m starting to struggle with sheer exhaustion. With the months of morning sickness, the dreaded mum guilt from whacking on Cbeebies all day to distract Dylan while I try my VERY best to not move from the sofa in fear I might throw up on him and myself but, I’ve managed to contract x2 colds and x2 sinus infections one of which lead to a crippling migraine (this girl NEVER gets headaches, in fact I’m never blawdy sick)! I’ve had very little time to get excited or feel happy about this baby, I feel in the worse physical state I think I have ever felt! In amongst being an entertainer to a 2 yr old, housework, going to work, bedtime routines and all the other motherly tasks that you know I don’t have to list and of course growing new life I’ve run myself into the ground with no one to pull me back up when I really need it. Not only have I basically been sick this entire pregnancy but I’ve struggled with back pain and growing pains much much more than I did with Dylan. The house is a mess, I’ve lost enthusiasm and I’m absolutely fed up to the back teeth of constantly being unwell. - I desperately want to enjoy this pregnancy, I want nothing more than to have my shit together, buzz around like Mary Poppins with that radiant pregnancy glow. So far I don’t have a glow, I’m under constant threat of those under eye bags getting bigger (I do hope they become fashionable like when oversized statement necklaces did) and I’m exhausted mentally and physically from being a mum, a partner and zoo keeper. (It’s starting to become increasingly similar to Noah’s Ark here). - We have our 20 week scan next week, I’m putting a target on its back for things to start turning round for the better. - #icoughedsohardipissedmyself #pregnacynumber2 #secondpregnancyproblems #sicknessbug #mentalhealth #itsoktonotbeok #mummylife #parentingblogger #mummybloggeruk #dailyparenting #motherhoodraising #ohheymamas

WEDNESDAY || We’re both still battling this cold (I’ll stop moaning about it soon). - We’ve got errands to run... sod ‘em, if you need us we’ll be here sleeping as much as possible! - #mumlife #sicknessbug #mummylife #parentingblogger #mummybloggeruk #dailyparenting #motherhoodraising #ohheymamas

WHATS CHANGED?! || 10 year challenge (as everyone seems to be on it) and yep, I’m still a knob. 🍆 #thankyouandgoodbye #luckyfella #10yearchallenge #stunner #mumlife

FABULOUS || Urmmm, I’ll just have a bit of whatever confidence this one has please. At what age did we start judging ourselves, building and enforcing insecurities? Bloody sucks balls right?! - If your amongst the majority like me then having a kid has kinda left me feeling pretty self conscious (I know, you wouldn’t believe it would ya)! But even old gobby over here has major body issues. So 2019 for me, is going to be about acceptance. Sod the diets, the exercise fads or the get skinny quick shite. I’m focusing on growing this baby, recovering and then I’ll maybe think about a lifestyle change! #cutmesomeslack #mumtum #kangeroopouch #mumlife #mummylife #parentingblogger #mummybloggeruk #dailyparenting #motherhoodraising #ohheymamas

REFLECTING || Damn, pretty much 2 years ago I was slow, aching and heavy almost ready to drop the sprog at a moments notice. Swipe left to see my bump comparisons when I was pregnant with Dylan. I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant with our next baby and I already look 35 weeks! 😂😂 I’m fine, honestly. I’m good. 😩😆 I’ve made my peace with the fact my body has stretched like an overused rubber band! 😂 - - - - #tb #babyshower #sweetbutapsycho #bodygoals #mumtum #mummylife #parentingblogger #mummybloggeruk #dailyparenting #motherhoodraising #ohheymamas
