Oh really, that's no good either is it. I just want things to go back to normal now, everything is really narking me off because the rules dont make sense. I can go shopping for clothes in numerous shops but I cant visit my parents being cautious and wearing masks/social distancing? It's just madness! X

You can visit them. It just has to be in a garden and you have to stay two metres apart

I know, but why can't I just sit in the house and stay apart? The weather has been rubbish so we can't sit in the garden cold and wet.. im just getting so frustrated with it all, none of the rules make sense to me

I think it's because being inside could contain the virus but being outside wouldn't? I understand it but can't explain it as I'm not sciency enough.

I agree though, it does suck. As soon as we're told we're allowed to see people indoors, D and I are going straight to his dad's house in Hampshire.

COVID can be spread by aerosols (tiny droplets) in the air. Better ventilated places eg outside mean less accumulation of aerosols in the air and less chance of transmitting the virus. As a rule, if you are sharing air you are sharing COVID.

Cold and flu season typically occurs in colder months because everyone spends more time outdoors rather than be cooped up together indoors which is an ideal environment to transmit a respiratory virus.

I agree though, a lot of the lockdown rules have been contradictory or don't make a lot of sense (at least where I live anyway). It seems that rescuing the economy often is seen as more important than common sense.

I understand how it's spread. But I'm allowed to go trailing round shops? Where we all know people do not keep 2m apart. And people touch things and people don't wear masks. It doesn't add up for me, hey ho nevermind ill just do as I'm told!

@PinkFlamingo I'll be using my pram from my first - the iCandy Peach 3. I genuinely loved that pram, so easy to push and fold, carseat slots straight in, just everything I wanted.

Ah thank you. It’s a whole new world to me. Hopefully planning a shopping trip soon when the crowds die down x

Mines is for spicy foods or kiwis. My heartburn has begun now it is so so so painful. I had it with my first basically until he came out!

 

[Natalie8964]

No weird cravings here either, I just tend to fancy more sweet stuff now whereas before I was more a savoury girl. Glad I haven't wanted to eat chalk or sponges though haha

 

[PinkFlamingo]

I really wanted a crazy one!!! Hahaha!! X

 

[WinterWolf]

Both times I’ve had cravings in tri 1 more than the rest of pregnancy. I haven’t really craved any weird things but I do crave things I normally hate, like olives and watermelon. Also coffee. This baby super desperately wants coffee! I like coffee but am trying to avoid caffeine.

Actually a weird craving for me that I’ve had pretty much this entire pregnancy is for a KFC Zinger burger. I’m vegetarian, have been for 10 yrs, so that’s a bizarre one haha

Ooooo this is exactly like me

 

[Natalie8964]

Lately I eat so much sweet crap. I really need to reign it in because I don't want to end up with gestational diabetes! But apart from the sweets and chocolate I generally have a decent diet. This week I ate chocolate pop tarts.. I mean how much crap is in those, never even ate them before pregnancy lol

Do you think? I've had a pretty symptom free pregnancy so nothing to go off there. Initially I called bump she by accident, then more people have said boy. Then yesterday my mam also said she. And I just made this (and I'll just put it out there its amazing, just call me Mary Berry) slightly concerned I'm going to eat the full thing today haha

God knows why, just a feeling. Everyone thinks I’m having a boy so I’m just rebelling and saying girl! Ha x

 

[WinterWolf]

@Natalie8964 My mum keeps making me massive cakes like that and I keep eating the entire thing lol so don’t feel too bad!

I stand by my original guesses of boy for Natalie and girl for Flamingo. But I was sure I was having a boy so you’ll both have the opposite to what I guess
