You know, tiredness (and drained, fatigued, dead beat, exhausted, worn-out, bushed) are really not the appropriate words to describe what we pregnant women experience at 8 months. It is more like all those words put together and then multiplied by a thousand. With having to wake up several times a night to go pee, with Braxton Hicks contractions, with labour anxiety insomnia, with occasional nausea……..God sure has a way of forcing your body to practise surviving on no sleep when the baby comes! He has thought of it all!
Just last night, I couldn’t sleep till 4am yet woke up at 7.30am. Most days, I usually sleep from 1am to 4-6am, and another hour between 7-8am, depending on when the alien within me kicks me up! It’s bloody exhausting! And because of Tee, I don’t get to nap very often either during the day. So what do you do? Thank God, you were born a woman, because I can tell you, no man can ever survive pregnancy despite all the big talk.
I have another ambitious plan (which will of course, not materialise as I am such a dreamer) that I should crazy blog 120 posts in advance so that when the baby comes out, my beloved blog will still run! What do you think? After all, if I can’t sleep, I might as well use the hours to work, right? I actually had to force myself to read a book the other day…..*shakes head* I managed only a quarter within two hours and decided to go back to blogging. SO much more fun.

Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.

You said it! A man couldn’t do it. I remember the tiredness which you speak of. It was really rough when I was pregnant with Alyssa because certain folks didn’t want to go to sleep and wanted me to hold them. Gosh it was awful because my belly was huge and he wanted to sit on my lap and cuddle. Very uncomfortable.
I hope you are relaxing, mama.
At least you are closer to the finish line than me. Good luck with your labor.
