I got some real exercise last night for the first time since the baby was born.
Sure, I’d been jogging once before. Sure, I’d done my own version of postpartum pilates (thanks for coining that for me, Jill) on the floor. Sure, I’ve been walking with the baby every day.
Last night, though, I was so desperate […]
Here’s a round up of other mom-related content from around B5 Media.

Can I just say how much I love hearing from you?
There is some great feedback to yesterday’s post including some more references that call into question the studies I linked to.
Thank you so much for the discussion. The nice part about writing a blog is that there is actual feedback from actual readers.

One of the reasons I breastfeed my kids long term (i.e. more than six months) is that I believed it protected them from obesity in later life. While baby girl is as chunky and carries it very attractively, I was worried about her weight. At her last check up she weighed even more than her […]
Whilst in the midst of my moody funk this morning, Cottontimer announced the results of a study that found mothers who work outside the home are thinner and healthier than mothers who stay at home.

As you know, I hate writing about postpartum depression. Sure, that’s where all the news clips are, but after posting five or six articles, they all start saying the same thing.
That said, my baby has started teething early and was awake from 4 to 6 this morning. I was drained and all I could think […]
We live in a culture where having a six-pack is now the anti-beer belly. Talk about abdominal exercise and you hear about crunches, sit ups and other regimes that are not appropriate for the post-partum mother. Re-building stretched out muscles shouldn’t been seen in the same light as trying to achieve a six pack.
After a […]
Three weeks after the birth of my first child, I weighed a kilogram (2.2 pounds) less than I did before getting pregnant and I glowed. When I went back to the gym, my muscle memory switched on quickly and I was back at my pre-pregnancy fitness level by the time my boy was five months […]
My son came to my bedside while I nursed the baby this morning.
“Coffee, scrambled eggs and toast please,” I said. “And get Daddy to help you.”
I heard him run back down the hallway and say, “Dati, sega iskum CBBC Prime.”
Which means, “Daddy, now I want CBBC Prime.”
I heard the tv go on, so I gave […]
It just struck me that motherhood has made me more environmentally-friendly. Imagine, I used to have a warm shower every single morning. Ignoring the perfection of that experience, it was a waste of water and energy.
As I sit here to announce the vote results for what to get my mother for Mothers’ Day (mosquito nets […]
