Right, if you know me in real life you may want to not read the rest of this post.
If you do, be warned its at your own risk. I accept no responsibility for any real world issues arising from this post.
This is my blog, its somewhere I can talk about things I can’t necessarily talk about out in the real world, or that perhaps I want talk through before I’m ready or comfortable talking about them in the real world.
Please bear that in mind. Ok?
So it turns out that I didn’t have a tummy bug or a strange queasy-feeling hangover after some pink wine with Mr Muddling last week.
It turned out that, yet again, my fabulous acupuncture man has done his wonders with his needles and has managed to get me, and more importantly, keep me pregnant.
Whilst it is still early days we are expecting Muddling Mark 3 February/March time next year.
In the real world we are holding off telling anyone because we just don’t know how this pregnancy is going to turn out.
We’re really hoping that it will be better than the time we had with Littler but, being realists, we know that there is a strong chance that this baby will also try and arrive very early and perhaps given I’m a bit older and everything else, that there is a chance that this baby might not make it. Added to which is the usual higher risks of various things going wrong because I’m now on the wrong side of 35.
So you see, I need to have the space to write about this here, even whilst I’m keeping quiet about it in the real world.
Not least because I’m already feeling sick. And yes, I know that’s a seen as a good sign but last time that good sign had me admitted to hospital to be rehydrated.
And I’m suffering from a maelstrom of hormones, up one minute, down the next, needy and weepy.
And I’m exhausted. Exhausted as in going to bed at 9.30 and waking up at 7am and still being shattered.
All of which are good signs but hard to live with if you can’t tell anyone.
So I guess that is why I’m telling you…
Because importantly this blog kept me together during my pregnancy with Littler, through the hyperemesis, through the hospital visits, through the bed rest and, whilst I’m hoping this pregnancy will be nothing like that, I do still need this blog to be there for me.

So, so pleased for you! I don’t know if you’d remember me, but I was on the same trimester threads as you on a certain forum when you were pregnant with Littler (not under this name though). I’m just into 2nd tri with my second, so a little way ahead of you this time – hope your 1st tri isn’t too brutal, and the rest of your pregnancy is nice and boring!
Congratulations! Hope you start feeling less rubbish soon and that it all goes safely and smoothly.
What wonderful news, huge congratulations! Really hope that all goes well and that it is your best pregnancy yet.
Excellent news, you’ll be fine, I am sure. Lots of love and hugs! xx
*squeals* lovely news!
Have everything crossed for you that no matter what the pregnancy holds, this one will make it safe and sound into the world to terrorise and be adored by the other 2. Thank you for sharing the babydust. I’m hopeful I’ll be a few months behind you. I have the same tests & am working the magic needles so figure luck is on my side ;)
congratulations. lots of hugs to you. Take care of yourself.
Congratulations, and well done for wanting to take on Naples again!
Nappies (damn iPad auto spell) although Naples is also very nice!
Hurrah! Yay, wonderful news, I am very happy for you.
Congratulations, what wonderful news!!! Take care!
Congratulations! I hope all goes well – having had a nightmare second pregnancy, I can totally sympathise with nervousness about having a third. My fingers are crossed for you.
To reiterate my twit wishes,
hige congrats hope it goes well x
Congratulations! Be sure I’ll be there with you. x
Congratulations! Wonderful news! Looks like I will be entering the world of three children around the same time as you next spring. Best wishes for a very healthy and uneventful pregnancy xx
Congrats, excellent news, wishing you so much luck that things go ok.
Ooh, congratulations. Try Natal Hypnotherapy cd for morning sickness, and travel sickness bands. Worked for me, but ginger didn’t! As for tiredness… impossible to schedule in rest time when you already have kids eh?! Hope it goes well for you.
Thanks for the tip – its been HG the last few times but at least this time keeping a full tummy and hydrated is going ok which is either a good sign or a bad sign…
