Had my fortnightly check up with our midwife yesterday which turned into a food confession.. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I seriously thought I'd be cruising the check up and for the most part I did until pelvic floor and constipation came up... 🤦🏻‍♀️

A lot of things happen to a woman's body when they're pregnant. Some ladies breeze through the 9 months glowing and some, like myself, do not and let's be real for a second here.... some body parts become casualties during the 40 weeks and beyond, pelvic floor being one of them.

So pelvic floor came up which eventually led to a discussion about my "diet" and what I eat.... 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The last time I saw her two weeks ago I had a mud cake and this time I had Krispy Kremes...

There was no hiding my sweet tooth which seemed to be letting my diet down which then led to a discussion about gestational diabetes.

Gestational diabetes is a new thing for me. Apparently this is something ladies get tested for around this time of the pregnancy and it's a condition that can affect not only the size of the baby (which will affect the birthing process) but also it's development.

😱😱😱😱

Long story short. I'm now on a diet.

I told Hubby last night to tell me NO when I want sweets. That includes lollies, soft drinks, cakes, donuts and whatever else that comes to mind.

The diet started yesterday so I'm giving myself a week to sort myself out before I get the blood test done. I'm hoping by then everything would be back to normal and cross fingers I don't test positive to gestational diabetes because that could complicate my home birth which will be in 3 months time.

😱😱😱 3 months!!

As of yesterday I'm officially in my third trimester.

Can't decide if that went quick or it dragged on but it was nice to hear bub's heart beat and know everything is perfect and she's growing well and isnt a huge bub.

So yeh!!! Not long to go! At the moment I'm taking it day by day and trying not to think about popping bub out in 3 months.

Bub's on my bladder all day every day which is a lot of fun... She's also a kicker.... Also a lot of fun.... But in all seriousness, it's very reassuring to feel her moving around all the time so I really shouldn't complain.

And considering food wise this is what my new normal is instead of a slice of something sweet in the morning to go with my coffee...

... I really shouldn't complain.

Over all, still happy and still feeling blessed as.f ❤

Hope ya'll have been ok! Sorry I haven't been around much. Really feeling like time is running away from me lately.

Happy Thursday blockchain!
