11 weeks going on 12

According to my text books, Small now has fingers and toes and even a little head of hair (although the head is huge compared to it's little body). He/she is the size of a little lime and has already decided his or her gender.

How can something so little make me feel so sick! So sick and shattered! With 2 boys to look after and a caseload of pregnant women to care for, births to attend and an MSc to finish, I guess the tiredness can be excused but the sickness, not fair!

I have tried everything: ginger, sea bands, acupuncture, homeopathy, crackers on waking. Everything I suggest to my clients but does any of it work? Rhetorical question!

Being a pregnant midwife has it's challenges. Whilst women from other professions can choose to avoid the ubiquitous birth video's at NCT classes, us preggie midwives are confronted with the thoes of labour daily. I remember, 34 weeks pregnant with my last son squashed into the corner as a woman in transition relayed how f@#+ ing pleased she was that I too would be suffering the same agony in only a few weeks time whilst hanging onto my neck as the baby slowly crowned.

People also assume that you will "know what to do". Hallo! Us midwives need midwifing too, often a lot more. It is tough to put out those images of shoulder dystocia's and PPH's when you are a pregnant midwife.

My booking visit is next week. It is with a midwife I don't know as I live in a different area to where I work. Shall I tell them I am a midwife? Hmmm,we shall see.

This is my third baby but I am still apprehensive and a little scared. Will it be ok? How fat will I get this time? (I usually put on 4 to 5 stone!!) Will I cope with labour? Will I love him or her as much as I adore my boys? Will my nipples drop off (yes, midwives have feeding difficulties too!) How will I manage with two under 3's?

And before you ask..boy/girl I simply don't care! I love my boys and know where I stand with them so another boy would be cool. A girl would be lovely too.And no, I am not going to find out!

I hope you stop feeling sick soon. I found acupuncture really good. I guess it gives you extra empathy with your ladies though!

Yes! You should stop feeling sick. I had the same kind of sickness earlier but I managed myself calming my mind to be cool. After two days of sickness I thought it is not good to be attached to bed again and again so took my girl outside for shopping and while returning spent few hours at the garden and drove home as fast I can so that I feel that I am absolutely fine and strong.
Having adequate amount of amount at regular intervals at 11 weeks pregnant is compulsory. It has to be there. I understand it is difficult to look after your children and follow other precautions and work being a mid wife. I jumped out with excitement after seeing the tiny small head, eyes, arms and fingers they were so cute at appearance.

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to
no backup. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with
hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Wonderful blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally confused .. Any ideas? Many thanks!

First off I want to say wonderful blog! I had
a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Thanks!
