New Weekly Huggies Forum Promotion! Win a Winnie the Pooh play tunnel! (15th Aug12)

1) In the baby care section, under breast feeding.
2)
- how messy kids are!
- how much love you can feel with a single smile (even when they are covered in the muck they just made)
- how so many people will tell you how to be a parent! (they are just giving advice, but i wish i had been prepared for the bombardment of advice!)
- how helpful my husband would be in the "poo" department :s
- and finally, I wish i knew before i had kids how much closer it would bring my husband and me. I now understand what a family truly is.

I wish I had of known the following before becoming pregnant:

1. Listen to advice given, but that does not mean you have to take it in and follow.
2. Trust your motherly instinct.
3. Stay true to yourself, believe in yourself, you are going to be a great mum.
4. Accept help, you do not need to do everything yourself, but do not let anyone take over.
5. And love yourself for who you are.

1. Breaking wind - Yes that smell really did just come from me:S

2. Hormones - Yes fights really will happen over simple things like who gets the last piece of chocolate.

3. Breast size - If I knew that my boobs would get this big I would've considered pregnancy ages ago:)

4. Body Shape - Yes that is cellulite I see on the back of my thighs.

5. Complications - It is very irritating that the doctor can't give me a reason for why my body is doing this.

5 things I wish I knew before becoming pregnant:

1. Your growing belly can be an attractive accessory so instead of hidding it - flaunt it!

2. Telling your boss that you're pregnant can be the most awkward pregnancy experience ever.

3. You can never run out of little things to worry about while you're pregnant.

4. Pregnancy can make you feel more alive and at your best. You'll get over the aches and pains simply by thinking about the little bundle of joy growing inside your belly.

5. You might think you know everything about pregnancy after reading all the preganancy books and articles you can get a hold of but you will always learn something new from your own experience. It just proves that experience is still the best teacher.

2. My top 5 things that I'd wished I'd known before becoming pregnant:
1. Morning sickness can happen at anytime, but some things can relieve it such as ginger.
2. Folic acid / health supplements should be taken from when you are trying to conceive.
3. Diet before and during pregnancy is very important - No chain coffee drinking or 'eating for two'.
4. Everyone has an opinion on what is best for your pregnancy / child care and some of these opinions need to be politely ignored.
5. Being pregnant takes up a lot of energy, it's better to plan out finances / lifestyle changes as soon as possible ( not waiting to move house / country until the last minuite).

Things I wish I had known before becoming pregnant:
1. I wish I knew I was going to be a single mum - however I am well prepared and wouldn't change it for the world. Everything happens for a reason!
2. I wish I knew I had fallen pregnant earlier, then perhaps I could have rethought all those mojitos at the unlimited bar on my all inclusive holiday at 5wks :S
3. I wish I knew just how intense it is the first time you see your baby at your 12 week scan. My gosh I was the happiest I have ever been in my whole entire life and all the while I was a complete blubbering mess at the same time (happy tears of course).
4. I wish I knew all the knitty gritty details of birthing and possible complications before I was pregnant. Hearing them now scares there hell out of me.
5. I wish I knew my boobs were going to look this bloody amazing grin I would have got pregnant ages ago tongue

All the best to all you mums (and dads) out there who are expecting or currently raising their precious babies!!

Various places, but start here: http://www.huggies.com.au/baby-care/breastfeeding

5 Things I wish I had known
1. I knew my boobs would get bigger, but had no idea that they'd get this big!!
2. You feel like the size of a house, even though you may not look it
3. What worked for everyone else, may not necessarily work for you.
4. Everyone wants to give you advice, and sometimes you want to talk about something not baby related
5. If your mum is anything like mine, you wont need to buy much as the baby will have enough clothes to get it through it's first year

1. Promising yourself that when you fall pregnant you'll eat healthier/exercise is rubbish. Just start now before you're pregnant.

2. Everyone has an opinion on your parenting before the baby even arrives. It's all part of the fun though; no need to take any of it to heart.

3. You will feel bigger than you really are.

4. Yes, your body really can stretch more. Just when you think 'that's it, i couldn't possibly grow anymore' you do laugh

5. There may be a time where you hate and love being pregnant at the same time. It's fine. You can cry about it if you need to but really...it's all good. (and boy howdy did i cry during my first pregnancy...)

6. I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was 16 weeks and I used to do horrible things before I found out and my beautiful girl is fine. I honestly think just keep to the best you can be dont do it for you do it for the baby.

The baby care tab on the top of your screen and then into breast feeding lots of help there.

1. You can't wait for buns to get here and then sometimes you will wish you just had a few more weeks to yourself

2. You are your babys mum and therefore you know when something is wrong even when the experts tell you - your just a new mum babies cry - follow and persists with your instincts your are right

3. When other people talk about what great sleepers their newborns are when your baby hasn't slept a full night yet, give them sometime their baby will start teething and wake up at all hours of the night once you have your angel sleeping great then you can tell them how great it is

4. Babies do things at different times, give them some time and encouragement and they will reach their milestones when they are ready - also you will wish they just stayed where you left them like when they were little

5. Nothing will ever be more rewarding than being a mum even at 4am and your baby is wide awake. A smile from him/her makes everything better
