First Trimester Diaries #3
The last part in this mini series and it’s weeks 10-14. I realised that my camera roll was much more quiet here and I was trying to focus a little more on the good days instead! My anxiety had come crashing down on me between these weeks. I had somehow subconsciously got myself into a constant high state of anxiety that I just could not lower, which was causing me to gag over & over every single day over nothing. The fact that my body’s response to high levels of anxiety is to wretch feels like a bit of a joke considering I’m an emetephobe but there we go. This coupled with pregnancy symptoms and my phobia felt like living in a bit of a hazy nightmare for a few weeks. Once I’d made the connection to the fact that it was indeed my brain causing these physical reactions and not the pregnancy, I immediately went into action to try and get it back on track. This was tough I’m not going to lie. I spoke to my therapist and we made a plan and every day I pushed myself to do the most simple, every day things that I could no longer do. I’d even dread having to go for a wee & downstairs was a no-go zone. It was not good… over time I managed to start lowering my anxiety and doing more and more things without gagging or panicking. (I’ve talked a lot more in depth about this in my vlog that’s going up on Sunday)
1. Ottie being caring 💕
2. The start of the bump (and a bit of a dirty mirror)
3. Hadn’t brushed my hair in about a week here 💁🏼♀️
4. Then @samantha.cusick came over and did my hair and made me feel so much better (even though I did keep having to lie down all day)
5. Hot days and ball pit parenting 😅
6. The nails started bending 🥴 how they didn’t all snap off I have no idea.
7. First time being able to stay outside without gagging and running back in & it was so so lovely.
8. Bump was bumping much earlier this pregnancy
9. Think I sent this to @theannaedit with “WHO IS SHE?” – I actually did my makeup…
10. FINALLY got my nails done @bw.nails was just the kindest and came to the house. We got half way done and then we had a power cut so I went into the shop the next day to get them finished & I managed it 🙌🏼

First Trimester Diaries #2
Between weeks 9 & 10 is where I’d say I started to feel a little better symptoms wise, I actually got dressed and made an effort on a couple of the days (before my anxiety bulldozed it’s way in and everything went tits up haha) I still felt nauseous and exhausted with every movement, but I definitely got a glimmer of what I thought would be me feeling a bit more myself again!
1. Out on a walk for the first time in weeks!
2. Constantly making people guess my cravings. This one was actually Guinness cake which is SO ROGUE, but it’s all I could think about. Considering cake was one of the major things that made me feel sick in Otties pregnancy, it was probably the main thing I wanted to eat this time 😂 I also went through a phase of wanting to eat those small sticky toffee puddings that you put in the microwave with some cold custard. Honestly the absolute dream!
3. Back to blood tests and uneasy environments. I mentioned this last time I was pregnant but I find doctors and hospitals really anxiety inducing & I remember the relief after Ottie was born that I wouldn’t be poked with a needle for a while 😅 Now we’re back here again! It was actually fine, definitely one of those things for me that the thought is often far worse than the reality.
4. Smiley faces and sweet chilli dip! In both my pregnancies sweet chilli dip has been the top tier condiment. Anything sweet pretty much as anything remotely salty made my dysgusia so much worse.
5. More of this. Being in bed feeling frustrated but at least Ottie brought me company 🥰
6. Malteasers have been my absolute saviour!
7. This little lady always making me feel better (depending on her energy levels haha)
8. A lot of the photos in my camera roll are of food.I was craving this for so long and when I tell you the joy I felt when I ate this… unmatched haha rotisserie chicken, lettuce & fresh French stick! 🤤
9. Tried that filter everyone kept using on TikTok and I felt like this accurately summed up how I felt during the first trimester. Mossing over and slowly blending into my surroundings 😂
10. The cancelled nail appts & lack of self care were showing 🥴

3. Back to blood tests and uneasy environments. I mentioned this last time I was pregnant but I find doctors and hospitals really anxiety inducing & I remember the relief after Ottie was born that I wouldn’t be poked with a needle for a while 😅 Now we’re back here again! It was actually fine, definitely one of those things for me that the thought is often far worse than the reality.
4. Smiley faces and sweet chilli dip! In both my pregnancies sweet chilli dip has been the top tier condiment. Anything sweet pretty much as anything remotely salty made my dysgusia so much worse.
5. More of this. Being in bed feeling frustrated but at least Ottie brought me company 🥰
6. Malteasers have been my absolute saviour!
7. This little lady always making me feel better (depending on her energy levels haha)
8. A lot of the photos in my camera roll are of food.I was craving this for so long and when I tell you the joy I felt when I ate this… unmatched haha rotisserie chicken, lettuce & fresh French stick! 🤤
9. Tried that filter everyone kept using on TikTok and I felt like this accurately summed up how I felt during the first trimester. Mossing over and slowly blending into my surroundings 😂
10. The cancelled nail appts & lack of self care were showing 🥴
First Trimester Diaries #2
Between weeks 9 & 10 is where I’d say I started to feel a little better symptoms wise, I actually got dressed and made an effort on a couple of the days (before my anxiety bulldozed it’s way in and everything went tits up haha) I still felt nauseous and exhausted with every movement, but I definitely got a glimmer of what I thought would be me feeling a bit more myself again!
1. Out on a walk for the first time in weeks!
2. Constantly making people guess my cravings. This one was actually Guinness cake which is SO ROGUE, but it’s all I could think about. Considering cake was one of the major things that made me feel sick in Otties pregnancy, it was probably the main thing I wanted to eat this time 😂 I also went through a phase of wanting to eat those small sticky toffee puddings that you put in the microwave with some cold custard. Honestly the absolute dream!
