Lean on Me by Glee

There can be so many different moments when you're feeling down or alone whilst trying to conceive (TTC), waiting to try (WTT) or whilst you're actually pregnant. If you feel like no one understands you or they don't see where you're coming from or how you truly feel, I recommend you listen to Lean on Me (the Glee version). I think I'm recommending mostly because in the TV show, it is sang to Quinn and Finn who are expecting a baby. It's a nice song choice if you want to be reminded that you're not alone and I think the lyrics make it an amazing "feel good" song (especially with the way the Glee cast sing it).

Three in a Bed by Carmen Reid

Last year I read a book called Three in a Bed and I actually thought it was pretty good. My other half (OH) got it for me and because of the topic (pregnancy), I read it straight away. The book is a fictional novel based around a woman wanting to get pregnant, but the story is not so much about her trying to conceive or about her waiting to try, it's mostly about her journey throughout her pregnancy and the hardships and exciting moments that come her way. It goes in to detail about things such as morning sickness and raging hormones, and it's generally quite a humorous book, so if you're in need of a laugh, this is a good book to read.

Pregnancy Films That I Love.

There are a couple of pregnancy films that I love to watch sometimes.

The first one I want to mention is Knocked Up (2007) starring Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl and Paul Rudd. It's a hilarious comedy movie about a one night stand that leads to pregnancy. It's definitely a feel good film, so if you haven't watched, I recommend you do! The second pregnancy movie I love is Juno (2007), which is more concerned with teenage pregnancy, but it's still definitely a movie to watch.

Away We Go (2009) is another pregnancy movie, but to be honest it's not very interesting and gets quite boring at times but that's my own personal opinion - you might find it interesting so check out that movie too!

One Born Every Minute.

I am loving the Channel 4 show One Born Every Minute. Watching the process of labour is really exciting and fascinating. Even though it makes me broody and sometimes makes me cry, I love watching it. What do you guys think about the programme?
