OK, so you’re well into your third trimester, and you’ve been told it’s time to pack your hospital bag…………. Cue the overthinking…. AND overpacking!!! (oh, you were sensible about this whole thing?? It was just me that went overboard the first time round, then? Right ;-p) Well, the time has rolled around for me to pack…
Being pregnant with number three – it’s fair to say this ‘aint my first pregnancy rodeo! I know what’s in store for me – including expanding ribs, lightning crotch (yep – one of the lucky ones here!), spider veins, random hairs growing in weird places, and of course, some pregnancy fatigue. But with both Zac…
These two here are my mini-me’s. My munchkins. My cherubs. My pigeon pair. With these two in my life, I feel so truly, incredibly blessed…..stressed out, time poor & sleep deprived, but so freaking lucky I wouldn’t change it for the world. They make me laugh, they have so much fun together, they’re sooooo freaking…

Vegetable lasagne (serves…
When I found out I was pregnant for the first time, I was over the moon! So incredibly excited…… but at the same time, so overwhelmed! I knew I wanted to be as fit and healthy as possible during my pregnancy, and I was thankful I had a great foundation & knowledge base to start…
I think there is a bit of a misconception about what PND / PND really is in the wider community. I’m even guilty of it, to a degree. You see, before I had kids, I thought it equated to wanting to hurt your kids. Since living through it though, I know that’s not always how…
We all have a fertility story. And no two are the same. If you’d told me five years ago I would have two little ones, 18 months apart, conceived naturally, I’d say you were nuts. You see, there was a period of time where I thought this had all been taken from me. I’m going to…
Fit Fab Mum was created after we (Jade & Kimberley) met to exchange business cards (we were both living and working in Sydney at the time), and over a hot cuppa, shared our dreams about creating a vehicle to support women as they move from planning a baby to becoming mothers. We’d literally known each…
We all know that during pregnancy, our energy needs increase. In the first trimester, women actually don’t require any additional calories – however this increases to an additional 1,400kj/day in the second trimester, and 1,900kj/day in the third trimester.
