Male Pregnancy? Surely not!
Okay, so there's a story doing the rounds at the moment about male pregnancy.
Fancy a free copy of BMums Pregnancy Relaxation mp3 in return for a written review?
When I was pregnant one of the very first things I couldn't drink anymore was coffee. It tasted strange and made me ill (see my article Pregnancy and Morning Sickness for tips on how to cope!) and I simply saw it as nature's way of saying it wasn't good for me in early pregnancy. In the middle and later stages I was able to drink it again and drank decaff just to be on the safe side.

When I was around six months pregnant with my second daughter, my husband booked me in for a pregnancy massage at a lovely hotel in Dublin. I can honestly say it was one of the most relaxing times in my life!
On days when I feel stressed now, I just have to recall that massage to remember how beneficial massage is when you're feeling completely frazzled by the demands of impending new parenthood...
So I'm delighted to be able to offer visitors to this blog, my website, and my social network a FREE 20 minute pregnancy massage at The Klinik, a wellness clinic in London (Liverpool St). They have a specially made pregnancy bed meaning that mums-to-be can lie flat on their stomachs during their massage, thus taking the weight off their backs!
If you'd like to avail of this offer, simply make an appointment quoting "mums 20 minute offer".
I hope you enjoy your massage... let me know how you get on!
And let them know who sent you...
Just a quick reminder that time's running out if you fancy winning a copy of BMums Pregnancy Relaxation mp3 worth £7.99!
The closing date is Friday 30th November 2007. Further details here...
