I love this video of a pregnancy from 4 weeks to 32 weeks. It shows how a woman’s body changes shape week by week.

It would have been great if I had done this when I was pregnant – but no one really wants to see me as a beached whale! (or is that just how I felt). Watching this takes me back though.

• I remember not being able to get to sleep as I couldn’t get comfy.
• I remember being so tired I thought I would never be truely awake again.
• I remember being so excited. I couldn’t wait to meet our offspring  – and he hasn’t disappointed!

Looking back it would be nice to have more photos or videos of me when I was pregnant. No regrets though – and we have enough photos of the baby to cover every wall in the UK!

I wonder if there are things, like this video that other women wish they had done when they were pregnant…
