Pregnancy Symptoms*

I started blogging when C was four months old and I do feel sad that I never documented my pregnancy with how C was growing, symptoms, etc so when he was born, I soon forgot it all. Now that Chris's sister is pregnant and talking about how she feels, it's all come flooding back. 

Morning sickness was such a pain for me. For the first 6-7 weeks it was just constant and I couldn't keep anything down. It then started to ease but came back with a vengeance every time I brushed my teeth!

I had C at 32 weeks and only started getting heartburn at around 25 weeks so I didn't have it for very long. I tried everything to ease it but nothing worked except milk. The bad thing was that it only kept it away for about 15 minutes!

One thing that irritated me more after pregnancy than during was my hair! During pregnancy, the hair on my head got a lot thicker but as soon as C was born it started to come out in clumps everytime I brushed it. Chris was constantly going on at me for forgetting to clear the drain after washing my hair! 

Leg hair was bad too. Naturally, my legs don't get too hairy if I leave them (they're light & fine too which makes them harder to see) but as soon as I was expecting C, I started to resemble a gorilla! (Okay, that may be an exaggeration!). I couldn't wait to shave them! Luckily, we're back to normal now!

My bump was a bit hairy too. I was so embarrssed going for scans but I hear that it's normal (it is, right? Please tell me there's someone out there who has had this too!) but one thing that I am thankful for is that I didn't develop any facial hair. If I had, I would have been straight down for some laser facial hair removal. I know, it sounds scary and I don't cope with pain very well but I've managed five tattoos and a Caeserean section so I think I'd be okay. The laser hair removal reviews don't contain any scary stories anyway! The laser hair removal prices are so reasonable too and it would definitely be worth it to be smooth again!

Veet EasyWax - Review (BzzAgent)

As a member of BzzAgent, I was sent Veet's EasyWax to try out. I'll be honest, I was scared. I've never had a wax before as I usually shave. I have a secret....I haven't shaved my legs since before C was born....8 months ago *shock horror*! I always wear jeans and never get my legs out so I just didn't see the point. Chris doesn't care - or at least he tells me he doesn't! My leg hair doesn't grow very badly anyway.

It was very easy to use. Just put the wax block into the device and plug it into the mains for 20 minutes to heat the wax to the right temperature. A red light shows to confirm that the wax is heating. The only gripe I have is that I would prefer if the light switched off to tell you that it was ready instead of having to keep an eye on the clock.

Once it was ready, I applied it. The wax glided on really smoothly then I placed a strip over the top. And prepared myself. I didn't prepare myself enough. I have got 5 tattoos, four of which are directly on bones, but pulling those wax strips off hurt like Hell!

You can kind of see the peachy/pink wax!

I persevered and I'm glad I did. Every hair was removed and I didn't have to go over any bits. My legs are now as soft as a baby's bum and it took no time at all! I will definitely be replacing my trusty shaving with this EasyWax!
