What to Expect When you're Expecting.

Ok - is it my imagination or does this book SERIOUSLY rock?

I'm loving it! Buying it was about the best donation I've ever made to Oxfam (all of £3.50!). I feel twice as relaxed about things being ok.

The only bit that stresses me a little is all the stuff around food and nutrition, it confuses me a bit and I admit I've come away thinking I'm just going to try and eat well AND what I enjoy while avoiding dodgey stuff like raw fish.

I bought some baby clothes this morning, a trouser suit, 3 tops and a little hat. I'm not buying any big stuff till after the scan but even this is a big step for me.

yes yes, i have this book too!

I can understand the nutrition bit, its hard especially in the first few months when food is the last thing on your mind... Just do what you just said that sounds gr8 to me!!

oh lets see the stuff u bought...

Im dying to get some stuff, but still a bit early atm...

I have it sat by the loo - so through the early months of constipation I'm feeling more and more prepared for what's to come.

I was reading about breastfeeding today and I could see things my friend described (she gave up and decided to use formula) but in a way I found that comforting. I really want to breastfeed but having someone tell you they're lying to say it's always possible (within reason) put me on a real downer.

Now I have the book I'd have paid full price for it but normally I NEVER buy books new so I was just lucky to get it from Oxfam.
