This is a diary of my first pregnancy, in the most blunt and honest form possible. Some may call it pessimistic in places, but I prefer the term 'realistic'. I got a huge shock when I began experiencing a number of the symptoms of pregnancy as I don't feel a lot of it is publicised, so felt I wanted to help other women be more prepared than me! I am from the UK, but I imagine some of my issues will be the same worldwide!
