LOST: One jawline. Last seen, around six weeks ago, being gradually swallowed by the rest of my face. Suspect it’s hiding somewhere between bottom of face and top of neck, but can’t be sure. If found, please return to me. FOUND: One large ‘birthing ball’ – as recommended by my yoga […]

Interviewing Cara Delevingne: Why sarcastic people are the best
I first met Cara Delevingne at a Calvin Klein party during Cannes Film Festival in 2013. Wow, that sounds like a douchey sentence. It is, however, true. I was with a couple of fellow journalists when Cara arrived at the party alone, and not spotting any of her friends, walked […]
50 DAYS TO GO.
There are 50 days to go until D-Day. The end is in sight! I am bound to give birth on my exact due date right? RIGHT! So that’s only 49 more sleepless nights of backache and cramp to go! Because I’m bound to get plenty of good nights of sleep […]

Falling over at 31 weeks pregnant
I’ve been running around feeling pretty smug over the last week or so. People have stopped marvelling over the enormity of my bump, and instead consistently tell me how ‘neat’ I am. (I’ve always suspected I’m pretty neat.) I’ve been feeling good, aside from some back ache and a bit […]

Boy or girl? Or just a baby? An issue of gender identity and blue vs pink
“What are you having?” By far the most common question asked of any pregnant lady. We (or I actually, Adam was rather more keen to find out, but I overruled,) have decided to keep the sex of our baby a surprise, I’m not sure why exactly, I just felt I […]
Being pregnant in the #HeatWave
Everyone’s making Pimms and scouting for picnic spots. I’m sitting in the shade doing this: And I have to get into work somehow but I’m too wide to try and walk in 30 degree heat, London buses have recorded 45 degrees so that just leaves the tube. And there’s a whole […]
