Hi..
I found out that we are expecting nº 2 this week - DD will be nearly 3 by the time the new addition joins us. However it's reminded me a lot of my first pregnancy and got me thinking about what I plan to do differently this time.
One thing I made the mistake of the first time around was exercise - I did virtually nothing. I was afraid to - which is crazy because I have even taken a course on exercise in pregnancy and I know the benefits, and how to do it safely. So this time I am going to keep up a reasonable amount while I can.
I was actually quite laid back the first time around about the baby's movement - I didn't want to become overly paranoid. However I was diagnoised with OC at 36 weeks so this time I am going to: a) not blame itching on washing powder b) count the kicks religiously.
I'm going to read up on breast feeding. I thought it would be the easiest and most natural thing in the world to do but I didn't find it 'that easy' personally. I ended up with blocked ducts 3 months in and gave it up....so I am going to inform myself this time and decide whether to do it again.
What are you thinking about doing differently during this pregnancy - what did you learn from your first??
