Why compare?

Feet up after doing the 1000 steps on this humid day in Melbourne (It was actually really cool & refreshing, softly raining and a lot nicer then our humid house) …was it hard? HELL YES…. I stopped heaps of times, paced myself as I didn’t need to rush, hubby was close by if I needed him and had plenty of water…..  I felt compared to last pregnancy it was so much harder but then I started comparing my 2 pregnancies and they are nothing alike

Here are a couple of differences of my 2 pregnancies

Didn’t work out (apart from 1000 steps handful of times trying to bring on labour) & listened to all the junk food cravings VS

PT twice a week, running after a active toddler, some junk food but watching what I eat

At 41 weeks pregnant I’d just hit 15kgs VS

Currently 34.5 weeks pregnant & just clocked over 15kgs YIKES!

The biggest obvious one is last pregnancy I worked full time up to 37 weeks pregnant, and this year I’m not working in corporate but Full Time Mummy /cook/ shopper /cleaner /washer /planner/running a biz etc. YES my son is in Day Care 2 days but I volunteer on one of those days and the other I cram a lot of the “running a house with a toddler and busy husband” tasks into.

We know we shouldn’t compare but we do… all the time… I kind of know what its like to have a newborn but not a newborn and a toddler and its freaking me out, I think some Mummy’s have it easier than me and others have it heaps harder but its our own journey and no matter what our circumstances are being supportive to where ever they are is the best you can do.

Hope your all enjoying a well deserved break over the holidays xx
