The Saturdays camp recently announced the forthcoming first mini-Saturday! The lovely Una Healy and boyfriend, Ben Foden, are expecting their first child next year. Una however, shows no signs of changing her ‘rock inspired’ look – I also think she looks positively glowing.
I look forward to observing how Una fares in the fashion stakes throughout her pregnancy – good luck to the couple!
I do wonder whether the other Saturdays’ ladies will follow suit?

This week I went to my GP for a number of things, one of the main reasons was to discuss pre-conception and to make my GP aware that I was embarking on the journey to conception.
My GP wasn’t great and made me feel like I was massively wasting her time… I asked if I should be referred for pre-conception immunisations. She replied with a stark “You’re in your late 20’s, you won’t need any”. THANKS.
I then asked if there was anything else I should be doing or taking. She just shrugged! Couldn’t believe it! I said I was already taking Folic Acid and Vitamin D, as per advice from my previous GP. She then said I shouldn’t be taking Vitamin D just yet… Is this true? It’s not like we’ve had much in the way of sunshine recently.
What was your experience pre-conception like? Did you take anything additional to Vitamin D or Folic Acid? Keen to hear your insights.

I took my final pill on Sunday… which is very exciting! I just wondered however, how long did you allow for the Pill to leave your system before trying to conceive? I’ve heard and read anything from 2 weeks to 8 months!
Let me know your thoughts!

After setting up my new MoM blog, life took over a little bit. I don’t mean this as an excuse, but in fact, I literally did not have access to the internetz for the past 2 weeks! Which has been frustrating and tiresome to say the very least!
But we’re back now, so expect more personal insights and thoughts on current affairs.
