Ask my opinion on childbirth a few years ago and I'd usually say "not until science comes up with a big enough test tube!" Balancing a hectic work and social life, frankly I could think of better things to do than changing nappies and mopping up baby sick. But hey, time marches on and things change. Finally, 14 weeks pregnant with my first child, it's time to eat those words as I look forward to our new arrival with a mixture of excitement and sheer terror!
Have we bitten off more than we can chew? Was it really wise to move into a penthouse with a Jacuzzi and three balconies? Are my breasts on a one-way trip to the South Pole? Where is the baby going to sleep? What on earth is a perineum, and why would one want cream for it? Please tell me I won't have to wear clothes like that! Are those pads really meant for me, or for loft insulation?! And most of all, where's the instruction manual?
Bellytastic tracks my mission to find the answers to these (and no doubt many other) questions. It's going to be a rollercoaster ride, but I'm sure it will be a lot of fun at the same time. As a first-timer I really have no idea what to expect, what to buy (or where to shop), so while I'll share everything I find along the way, hints and tips are most welcome!
