Your favourite things about having a baby in your belly
Feeling the kicks and rolls when baby moves around. I also love when my toddler points to my belly and says baby and gives my tummy a kiss, it's so special.

What has been the one thing that’s surprised you the most
about being pregnant
Being pregnant is truely amazing. One thing that really surprised me though is the fact that you can start producing colostrum so early! I had no idea before I was pregnant that this was a thing, I just assumed it all happened once you gave birth.

Things you do to cope as a pregnant mum with a toddler
Being a patient person definitely helps but I think I have especially found it important to rest when I can. Sometimes that means taking a nap when my toddler does, going to bed early or staying home when my husband takes our son out on an adventure I would usually tag along on.

What will you do differently with baby #2
Will not to get so caught up in other people's advice or read too many online forums. It can be so overwhelming becoming a mum and you only want the best for your baby, but I have learnt that you really do instinctively know what is best for your baby and sometimes that means sticking to your intuition is key.
