….. I scoured the net A LOT. I popped into forums, Googled "sore boobs" frequently and then suddenly had to Google "What if my boobs don't hurt anymore? Is this bad?". It was all there. I spent a lot of time online sucking it up.
By the time I was pregnant for the third time, I did pretty much nothing. No web, no books, no time. My attitude to my own pregnancy and everyone else's attitude to my pregnancy changed each time. From being treated like a delicate flower (can I carry your bag? do you need help getting out of that car? is your tea cup too heavy?) to, well, to being ignored basically. Like a very large piece of wallpaper.
If you are fortunate enough to have been pregnant (I am always mindful of the women reading this website who are struggling to fall pregnant or who missed their chance and who WISH they could complain or compare notes about pregnancy – it's hard and it hurts, I know), what approach did you take? And if you've been pregnant more than once, how did that approach change each time?
Here, the Momversation girls share their experiences. I laughed. I related.

I found 'Up the duff' to be a tad too sarcastic and the regular books a bit too boring and repetative. So being pregnant with #2 I barely read anything. If I have a question I ask my midwife or mummy friends.
I am lucky to have straightfoward pregnancies and remember everything from my first pregnancy so haven't really been struck down with the what ifs...
If I could recommend one book to first time mums it would be the book called
"conception, pregnancy and birth' i cant remember who wrote it but its a pink and white cover and a godsent of information.

My babies loved brie, especially with a nice Pinot.
I didn't have much luck with breastmilk flavoured chips though, very hard to get them crispy.
