Special spag bol solves everything… right?!
Judi Love hits pause and offers some straight-talking advice about the weird and wonderful first trimester.
Mark:
Here you go. And I need to get a move on.
Sophie (monologue):
Another fun-filled Saturday. He's disappearing off to work. Again. And I'm stuck here on my tod. Again! It's not like I can even go anywhere though. If I'm not throwing up, then I'm peeing every two minutes.
Aah, and they're really sore. He's avoiding me. I know he is. I feel like crap and he just doesn't care.
Mark:
I'll see you later.
Judi:
Let's pause it. Look, I know it's early days. It's tough. You're aching in places that you didn't even know you could ache. You've been up and down like a toilet seat - which between your butt and your face has seen a lot of action right now. Just try not to think about his special spag bol.
Look, the first trimester is literally vomit city. But it should start to get better after a few weeks. Try getting a bigger bra, they're growing! And they wanna stretch out a little bit. He might struggle showing it, but he does care and he is trying. He's working all hours for you and the baby. Talk to him. Let him know he's more than just a pay check. You got this!
Sophie:
Wait. Let's have a cosy night tonight. Watch a film or something. Miss you.
Mark:
Miss you too. I know, I'll do my special spag bol!
