AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.

And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

How much do you know about Pregnancy Health Issues? | AD

*This is a paid post

It feels like yesterday that I was pregnant with Little Man. The years fly by but pregnancy is something that you always remember. From seeing those lines on the test through to the first twinges of labour. I had a pretty textbook pregnancy with both children. But, I realise now that there were a lot of common pregnancy health issues that I really didn’t know much about.

Did I experience any health issues during pregnancy?

I had morning sickness at the start of both pregnancies with only a handful of actual vomiting incidents. The rest of the time I spent just feeling incredibly nauseous constantly. Thankfully my morning sickness wasn’t severe and it’s only since having the children that I’ve become aware of hyperemesis gravidarum and the extent that morning sickness can affect some women.

The only other real issues I had in pregnancy was back pain as I got bigger. This got worse towards the end of each pregnancy. I also had migraines regularly when I was pregnant with Little Man. They made me housebound so I couldn’t go to work for a day or two at a time. I couldn’t even take LP to the childminder. Thankfully I haven’t had them since the end of the pregnancy and now have so much empathy for anyone that suffers from migraines.

What pregnancy health conditions should we be aware of?

Many pregnant women suffer from other health problems in pregnancy. Things like gestational diabetes, anaemia, pre-eclampsia, spotting or bleeding and event antenatal depression. This infographic from Emma’s Diary explains more about pregnancy complications and health conditions. It includes their symptoms, how common they are and what to do if you feel like you are experiencing any of the symptoms too.

Who should you contact if you’re worried about anything during your pregnancy?

My first port of call whenever I had any worrying symptoms during pregnancy was always the NHS 111 number. I also had the direct number for my midwife and other health care professionals would be available if I needed them. The NHS phone line or my midwife would assess my symptoms and see if it was something I needed to visit the Doctor’s surgery or hospital for. If not, it was just something I needed to keep an eye on. I had really good prenatal care and knew that there was always someone I could contact about any physical problems or my mental health. I think quite often we forget what a huge impact pregnancy has on not just our bodies and lives but also on our state of mind.

How can websites help during pregnancy?

During pregnancy it was also nice to have online resources that I could dip in and out of. I could read up about symptoms and get advice from other parents and healthcare professionals too. I remember during the early days of pregnancy looking online for things that would relieve morning sickness. This progressed into asking the online world how I could sleep comfortably and how I could ease the back pain. I’m so glad we have so much information online.

With anything pregnancy related it is always best to err on the side of caution. You need to rest as much as possible, get advice if you have any symptoms that are out of the ordinary for you and if you have any worries at all to get checked out. You can find out more about pregnancy health issues over on the Emma’s Diary website.
