Crazy With Twins

The beautiful, funny & unsightly truths about raising 3 year old twins & an 8 year old singleton… with one on the way!

Baby Bear’s Birth Story

I was 42 weeks and 1 day pregnant and despite desperately wanting a spontaneous labour and a natural birth, I had resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to be induced. I woke up with pains, the morning before my induction at 3:50 am. I didn’t get my hopes up, because I’d woken […]

Mummy how does the baby get out of your tummy?

It began with 9 year old Bunny’s questions… “Mummy how did the baby get in your tummy?” “Mummy how does the baby get out of your tummy?” “Mummy how is SD the baby’s daddy when he’s not your boyfriend?” So I bought a little book called “Mummy laid an egg” by Babette Cole after reading recommendations […]

Why I can’t have any more children…

This post has been a long time coming. It has taken a long time for me to accept, and I’m still not sure if I have accepted it. I am blessed, with three incredible daughters, that I wouldn’t change for the world. But every mum, has that secret number. The secret number of how many […]

How did you feel about expecting twins?

That’s the question Shona from Wriggly Rascals asked me to answer for my first ever guest post. I can bet you a lot of money that 99% of ladies pregnant with twins, will answer “Yes” to this question. A lot of mums feel shocked, worried and a whole host of emotions, when they are first […]

Maternity to Neonatal – We all fall down

This is the concluding part of my birth story, following on from HELLP Syndrome Part One and Part Two… The maternity ward was quite a shock to the system. After having five whole days constantly with a midwife every second of every day and night, and having not been capable of doing much at all for myself, […]

HELLP Syndrome Part 2

Following on from HELLP Syndrome Part 1 (This is part 3 of The Gory Birth Story!) Whilst I’m not entirely sure what day I had the first blood transfusion (I think it was day three), I remember the panic surrounding it. Doctors, anaesthetists, consultants and numerous midwives kept coming in to ask me questions and […]

HELLP Syndrome – Part 1

Finally I’m ready to blog my ordeal, so following on from The Gory Birth Story…. Having just given birth to two beautiful and tiny, but healthy, baby girls, the natural motherly instinct is to cuddle them and cry with overwhelming happiness and relief. But as I look through my maternity notes I see the sickening […]

A Rant to a Ranter

To the lady who left me my first ever nasty blog comment a few weeks ago… I did not publish your comment, but I wish I had. So I am going to blog about it because I’m STILL feeling annoyed…. You had a rant at me for not appreciating the work of NHS doctors. You […]

Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception

It turned out that my body did NOT want to behave itself and on tuesday I got taken to theatre for a general anaesthetic and an “Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception” (ERPC). This operation is also performed in the instance of miscarriages, in which case the name of the procedure is particularly upsetting and quite heartbreaking. […]

Hospitalized AGAIN (a TMI post)

Now I know you were expecting my next post to be about HELLP Syndrome and a continuation from The gory birth story but I’m finding it quite traumatic to write and having to write it in stages as I burst into tears when I think about what I went through. However, as I now find […]
