I'm a month in to my midwifery training now. Along with the rest of the girls in my cohort, I am flipping between being super-broody and absolutely terrified at the prospect of pregnancy, what with having been taught about some of the bad sides of pregnancy. I don't mean stretch marks, back ache and peeing all the time. I mean the life threatening things; pre-eclampsia, post-partum haemorrhage and sepsis. Argh!
Having said that, I now feel I am one step ahead of any other would be pregnant lady. As part of our course, we have to write a birth plan, which I have deliberated over long and hard and have now completed.
I have begun my placement. I have seen lots of pregnant women and new babies. I am so broody. But I am staying professional and actually not thinking about my desire to have a baby during my professional hours.
The diet is going well. Whilst I haven't yet weighed myself, I feel as though I have lost weight. I also feel as though I have been eating more healthily. At uni, I am trying to choose the option with lots of veg and I am trying (quite successfully) to really cut down my chocolate intake.
Next month, I plan to start swimming regularly. I am hunting out an old exercise book which is at my mum's somewhere. It is really good, and I did it when I was younger. It is based on an aerobics routine and as well as being a good work out, it is also fun to do.
