'You just have to pile the clan into the car and get out there'
Susan, 36, was living out in the countryside with her two children when she found out she was pregnant with number three.

‘To tell you the truth all my pregnancies have been quite hard, but I just think I’m addicted now.  I don’t think it will be long before we have number four.  We’d just moved to a new house in the countryside when Mindy was born and it’s a bit isolated really.  I think my friends thought I was mad.  It’s funny, because with your first everyone tells you to take it easy and put your feet up, but when you’ve got a three year old and a one year old there’s no chance of taking it easy for a minute, it’s all go, go, go.

‘But you manage don’t you?  Pregnancy number three was a bit of a blur really.  And I just love living out in the countryside.  Even if it can mean that you’re a bit stuck sometimes, if you need to see people you just have to pile the clan into the car and get out there, and those sunshine days when they’re all just piled up playing outside the kitchen door makes for moments that make it all worth while.’

Top tip!
If you suffer from morning sickness, a bedtime snack and a dry biscuit or toast 10-15 minutes before getting up may help. Then have a light breakfast a little later. Keep some simple, dry biscuits handy for those 'other-than-morning' sickness times too.
