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 […]

A year to the day: Isle of Bride #CoxsHens
Six months pregnant, it’s hard to believe that this time last year I was six or seven drinks to the worse at Isle of Wight Festival. With a stomach that looked like this: I’m now a little wiiiiider. (Oh and by the by, these Free People flares are my absolute […]
A bump and the matter of public property
“Hello casual acquaintance. I hope you’re well? And may I say, you have an unusually large nose for a 29-year-old.”No, that doesn’t go down well in social situations. So why is it appropriate to pass comment on the size of a near-stranger’s baby bump? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking […]

The different culture element, particularly experiencing the cuisine, architecture, local customs etc has always been a major factor for me. But every once in a while, […]
Pregnancy week 21: Nailed it
I have a tendency to be cynical. I find the cloud to every silver lining. But this week I’ve discovered a true upside to being pregnant. A beauty upside, that is. As a beauty editor there are certain expectations in the grooming department. I should, in theory, have nice nails […]
The fears of giving birth (and One Born Every Minute)
I need to stop watching One Born Every Minute. I can’t handle it. I’d watched it a couple of times before, but now I can’t get enough. You can watch the entire back catalogue of series on 4OD, and knowing that you’re going to go through it yourself makes it […]
Pants and fears
A pivotal moment in my pregnancy, or possibly life at a larger scale… Going into Marks & Spencer with my mum and buying the exact same pants. Is that it now? Have I turned into my mother? Only time (and pants) will tell.
