Following an excruciatingly painful night of cramps and next to no sleep I've had to make an unplanned visit to the emergency maternity triage. With the NHS at breaking point I have to say I'm super impressed by the support. It was a considerable wait but the midwife, doctor and nursing team were wonderful at the Grange University Hospital.... I had initially just put the stabbing cramps to constipation (a common joy of pregnancy) but it seems something more is going on. I guess I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the baby is super happy and there are no issues or concerns with pregnancy. The bad news is the pain is due to the scar tissue caused by my three previous ovarian cyst surgeries. The scar tissue is effectively pulling and stretching with the uterus growing, which is causing excessive pain.There is no treatment, way of helping it or improving it. It's a case of trying to manage the pain. And it could disappear and go away. But it could come back again in two weeks time, etc for the rest of the pregnancy. But least we know what it is and it’s nothing malicious.The good news is the little Mini Ruckymonster in my belly is happy, wriggling and with a strong heart beat. Life is never smooth sailing, so when you see all the shiny perfect lives on social media, please remember that we all have battles and challenges 🫶#pregnancy #emergencydepartment #honesttruth #thegirlonabike

Pregnancy isn't all as it seems! If you saw my last pregnancy update you'll know I've had a rough time, but I'm unbelievably relieved to have finally made the second trimester glow that everyone raves about. I've now had 5 days without a throbbing headache and absolute exhaustion. OK my bowels still don't know what's going on, my abs are rapidly becoming unusable (you should have seen me stuck on the ferry top bunk...the mama belly roll onto the side has begun) and the shooting ligament pains as the abdominals stretch are there (worsed by my strong core), oh and no longer being able to fit 80% of my trousers...that's all part of it. But I am finally starting to see the magical side of growing a little human inside me:- I no long just look like I've been eating all the cake, I actually look pregnant which brings so many loving smiles from total strangers - that energy is invaluable 🤗- my p*rn star size boobs are no longer incredibly sore (bonus for Ruckymonster)- my hair is thicker, nails stronger and longer, and my skin clearer than it's been since pre puberty 💁♀️- the baby bump massages from my family Alex and Anika are heavenly both for relaxation but also soothing the stretching skin- I'd love to say my energy is back to normal, it's still far from it, but it is considerably improved so the adventures of the bump are very fun! We even did a 5 mile hike up Sugar loaf in south Wales- the bond with hubby is incredible. Getting to see his face as he feels it wriggling inside me plus at scans as he holds my hand watching the little black blob on screen. It's magicalYou have my word that I will continue to share the honest realities of my journey so if there are any areas you're particularly in, please let me know.Please also share and help spread awareness for the realities of pregnancy.#adventuresofthebump #pregnancy #firsttimemum

Who else loves free stuff? Many have credit cards but my H-D card gets me points like a club card, almost like free money, so I'm going shopping at Harley Bergen!I'm often asked about how I juggle so many currencies with the travel I do and this is how. For the credit card sceptics here's why I use one:- Free international use without transaction fees- Tyre insurance on my Harley-Davidson Motor Company - Collect points to redeem at H-D on all card spend - I have a direct debit set up monthly so never any interest charges- Worry free spending as protected by visa policies I'm definitely not a financial advisor though, this is just from my experience 🤗#creditcard #moneymanagement #travel #hd #harleydavidson #hdfinance #thegirlonabikeMusic: Travel on the roadMusician: AI music

Today was my first day in months without a pregnancy head ache and so it quickly became one of my favourite days. We didn't do any of the big named roads but honestly, every road in Norway is worth writing home about. They don't seem to have any straight roads and definitely no dull views. It's all beautiful smooth tarmac, sweeping corners and just out of this world scenery. Sucking up the miles heading south west I just kept smiling as our group of 14 Tour1 bikes continued in unison 🫶Having hit the Atlantic Ocean road it's now time to head south towards Bergen where we'll catch the ferry back to Denmark before the 2 day motorway ride home. The day started with another seamless ferry crossing leaving Molde. As long as you pre register with the ferry companies you can simply drive on and drive off with zero check-ins or on the spot payments, enabling you to transit across the numerous fjords effortlessly.Riding with Tour1 Gary France on the Harley-Davidson Motor Company Road Glide CVO with Anika
