Maternity Active Wear – A New Trend
There have always been a lot of fallacies, stories and basic untruths when it comes to being pregnant. and what you can and can’t do. From the need to eat for two (totally untrue, although you may eat more in the third trimester) to the fact that if you are having sweet or salty cravings you can actually predict the gender of your baby, with sweet pointing to a girl, and salt pointing to a boy (obvs. no gender stereotyping there at all). But one of the most common untruths is that you should not exercise when you are pregnant. Frankly, this is a load of rubbish. Exercise During Pregnancy…

Life After 50 – Life Begins!
This year my husband celebrated his 45th birthday, and with the usual birthday celebrations there was also a growing realisation that in terms of years, he was now closer to his 50th birthday than he was to his 40th.
