Co spakować do torby do szpitala?

Packing a hospital bag is a topic that probably every future mother starts thinking about when the date of delivery is coming. The midwife recommended us to prepare everything in 34 week and be ready. Because I very often travel so from 36 week I had a hospital bag in my car - just in case;) Fortunately, I didn't have to use this option, but I'm glad I had it ready - it gave me a sense of calm and sense of safety. We all know - additional stress definitely isn’t good for future mother. The first thing that we need to remember is that each hospital follows its rules and requirements for a "layette" to the hospital. There are hospitals...

Flying in pregnancy -yes or no?

Flying in pregnancy, especially in advanced state of pregnancy, is a very controversial topic. What's more, those who don't travel or have no medical knowledge usually say a lot in that matter;) Of course, I would like to point out that I'm also not a traveller (my travels are quite short business trips and typically holiday flights), or a medical expert (everything I’m writing today, I learned from my gynaecologist who is watching over my pregnancy and from the blog mamaginekolog.pl). However, I have recently struggled with surprised faces of people who were scaring me and trying convince me that it’s a bad idea and had "good advice" when they heard that I have a flight at the end of...

How to organize a baby shower party for a future mother?

A baby shower literally "rain of presents" for a baby. In the USA, England or Australia, a baby shower party is very popular, in Poland it is also more and more popular. Gentlemen have their "pępkowe” party, and for moms is other party, in Poland sometimes called "bociankowe" party. I must admit that many people I talked to were very surprised and I had to explain what a baby shower is. Most people celebrate the birth of a child, not just the fact of waiting for a baby. Personally, I think that the joy of birth is unimaginably great, but also a new role of mother can be stressful and overwhelming at first, so fresh moms don’t think about organizing...

My last days of pregnancy

When few months ago I was wondering how the ending of my pregnancy will look like, I thought that the summer time is perfect for those last days with a huge belly - there is no problem with thick clothes or heavy winter boots. You simply put on an airy dress and flip-flops, and the summer weather favors walking and makes easier to be active during pregnancy and after giving a birth. Friends, however, described this time, especially in the summer very dramatically: swollen legs, back pain, lying on the sofa, because of lack of strength, it's hard to move. Probably some women fell like that during pregnancy and I feel really sorry for that but I luckily didn’t have to...

Pros and cons of being pregnant

In the face of a new life growing in your body, each inconvenience of pregnancy is trifle. Even if we think for a moment about the fact that we can't wear favorite jeans or pencil skirt, but we feel the kick of our beloved child, we immediately forget about wasp waist. I must admit that despite of 38th week of my pregnancy, I feel great and my son is still kind to me, because I don't have pregnancy ailments, but I wouldn't be a typical woman (and Polish girl;)) if I didn't complain a little bit: D But I didn't forget about advantages. Are you curious why I think it is worth being pregnant? I invite you to read the...

My June Favorites („Rywalka” Wydawnictwo Otwarte, balsam Dibi Milano, balsam Frutti di Bosco Olos, biżuteria Happiness Boutiqe, Daniel Wellington)

It's time for June favorites :) As always, with a little delay, so I don't want to prolong it more - I go to my favs :) Pora na czerwcowych ulubieńców:) Jak zawsze, z lekkim opóźnieniem, więc żeby nie przeciągać jeszcze bardziej - przechodzę do konkretów:) 2. The book "The Other Woman" by Sandie Jones, Otwarte publisher I have recently focused my thoughts mainly on "mummy" topics and I read books related to children's topics, child's development, etc. However, when I was on a short vacation, I decided to relax and I reached for light topic. "The Other Woman" is a novel first published at the beginning of July. This book is about love triangle. He, she and ...

7 typical pregnancy symptoms that people will scare you and which you don’t have to experience (and how to avoid them).

I have never heard how lucky I am so many times till I was pregnant. It’s a fact that I don't complain about the lack of happiness in my life;) However, I never thought that happiness is something that falls from heaven, but rather it is a state that you work out every day;) I also heard (mainly from women) cautions and horrible stories about pregnancy symptoms. Personally, I think that "scaring" fresh mum with ailments that may happen to her is neither elegant nor appropriate, and serves only stress or upset. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with care;) What surprises me is that such "cautions" say women who have already given a birth, and know that...

Co się zmienia w ciąży?

The fact that two lines on a pregnancy test cause a lot of positive emotions you probably know;) I did the test twice because I couldn't believe and despite the result of the test was positive, only visit to the gynecologist was able to assure me that it was true.  I don’t have to mention the fact that the news about the child under your heart totally changes your life. Anyway, I haven’t experienced the changes that take place after giving a birth and I think that my blog is not a good place for such serious and philosophical arguments;) However, with this news, thousands of questions arise and you don’t know the answers. And probably no one will be able...

Baby on board !

When I shared the news about my pregnancy on my Instagram account, I received a lot of messages from girls who, like me, are waiting for giving a birth or are trying for a baby or have recently become mums. Kiedy podzieliłam się na moim Instagramie wiadomością o ciąży, otrzymałam naprawdę wiele wiadomości od dziewczyn, które podobnie jak ja - oczekują na narodziny dziecka lub starają się o maleństwo, albo niedawno zostały mamami. After my first post with a baby bump, which I published on my blog, several readers wrote e-mails to me, which was a nice surprise for me, because not everyone who reads my blog, share their thoughts with public, in comments. Such a good response convinced me that...

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING PREGNANCY, YES OR NO?

REMEMBER: Consult a doctor, to make sure that any exercise you want to do is not harmful for you or your baby Well - I'm ashamed to admit it, but unfortunately I've never been a typical fit girl. Gym clothes were suppose to motivate me to visit the gym regularly, but after a few trainings, I preferred to choose a book and warm blanket instead of physical activity. However, when I found out that I’m pregnant, I decided that I will definitely be fit in pregnancy. And just as during my whole life it was difficult for me to mobilize myself for a regular physical activity, so the little baby motivated me to exercise. In the end, I don’t do it only...
