I was quite lucky during my pregnancy. (That’s if you ignore the fact that I was treated for preterm labour, hospitalised with keytones and pumped full of saline solution.)
I worried about the silly little things during pregnancy but I was lucky to escape most of them. I was petrified of my tummy button popping out! I thought that it would explode all of a sudden! Luckily mine remained an innie. I also managed to avoid the linea nigra, the hairy tummy and I only got 2 small stretch marks which appeared on the day that I was induced.
One thing that I didn’t manage to avoid was the mask of pregnancy. One sunny day near the end of my pregnancy my mask appeared. I read that it should go away by the time your child is 2. Mine is still there! I hate it! I spend 5 minutes in the sun and it is so noticeable.
When I was asked if I would like to hold a giveaway to promote Bio-Oil’s new Bump Tracker Pregnancy App I thought it would be suitable for my blog as I bet many of my readers have stretch marks. (They should really be called stripes of honour!)
The Bump Tracker allows you to take photos throughout your pregnancy and it makes them into a lovely little video. This reminded me of the wonderful video, made by Tom from McFly and his wife, to announce the birth of their son Buzz. It is so beautiful!
I thought I would try Bio-Oil on my stretch marks as I didn’t realise that it could be used to reduce pigmentation. When I read this I got very excited! Maybe my mask of pregnancy isn’t here to stay after all!
I thought it may feel greasy on my skin and I was unsure about applying it before my make up but it doesn’t feel greasy at all! I have to use it twice a day for a minimum of 3 months. If Bio Oil manages to get rid of my mask of pregnancy I will be eternally grateful!
I have a bottle of Bio Oi to giveaway to 3 of my lovely readers. There are many ways to enter using the Rafflecopter below. Good luck!
Cant think of anything I was well informed to be honest
I can’t really think of anything.
about the sleepless night are really really bad
I wish I’d known the importance of having a downstairs loo! The constant trips upstairs when nearly full term was awful!
How long labour could last! 3 days it took with my daughter. numerous trips back and forwards to the hospital! definitely all worth it though.
That morning sickness is not actually morning sickness but morning, noon and night and it can last a lot longer than the first trimester
How tiring it would be, my energy was zapped especially in the first trimester
There isn’t really anything I can think of.
nope 🙂
I wish I had known how lethargic and enerygyless I would be.
I’d wish I’d known how much you have to pee
Swelling feet!
The really awful morning sickness you can get and feel so tired all the time
wish i’d have known about the tiredness
That is was so tiring and especially with my first, I had really bad morning sickness and many sleepless nights x
