17 weeks pregnant!!

My view when i sit down!

How far along? 17 weeks exactly today!

Total weight gain/measurements: No idea at all, i think i'll be weighed at my 20 week scan!

Maternity clothes: I did buy a maxi dress from Newlook! I'm not a big an of maxi dresses particularly on me, but with my new preggy body, nothing looked nice except maxi dresses! It wasn't classed as 'maternity', i just got a size 12 instead of a 10! My boobs are a bit 'out there' but i can't hide them anymore!! They have got 3 sizes bigger and i thought they were big anyway!!

Stretch marks? Same as last time; None yet, i've been a bit lazy using any stretch mark cream/oil but i do have the new johnsons one that i've used a few times! I need to start using it regularly now i'm starting to grow properly! 

Sleep: Hasn't been too bad this week but i've started to get sore hips from sleeping on my side so much as i'm trying to avoid sleeping on my back! 

Best moment this week: A man actually knew i was pregnant in the supermarket and asked me about it! :) I also feel like i've 'popped' a bit this week so it's a proper little bump rather than just a bit of chub!!

Miss anything? I miss a nice cold cider in the hot weather! I also still miss working out and prawn baguettes!

Movement: I can definitely feel little flutters and moving arounds but i want to feel a proper strong kick! 

Food cravings: Not much this week really, theres nothing i really need to have because i crave it!

Anything making you queasy or sick? This week hasnt been too bad, but i had a bad morning last Friday and a horrendous day on Monday! I was throwing up all day and couldnt even keep water or my anti sickness tablets down! In the end, chocolate soya milk saved me!

Gender: I'm pretty sure it's a girl but obviously i dont know! We still dont want to find out! 

Labour signs: Nope!

Symptoms: My headaches/migraine have been bad this week but the sickness has been average! My boobies dont hurt so much but have grown like woah! Still cant drink water but living on chocolate soya milk, apple juice and diet coke with lemon! 

Belly button in or out? In!

Wedding rings on or off? Haven't got any!

Happy or moody most of the time: I've been happier this week beause most days ive felt pretty normal!

Looking forward to: our 20 week scan! hopefully i will know when the date is soon!!

15 weeks pregnant!!!

How far along? 15 weeks exactly today!

Total weight gain/measurements: Not sure exactly, waiting for my next midwives appointment!

Maternity clothes: Same as last time; None so far, but i'm living in leggings and tights with stretchy skirts! 

Stretch marks? Same as last time; None yet, i've been a bit lazy using any stretch mark cream/oil but i do have the new johnsons one that i've used a few times! I need to start using it regularly now i'm starting to grow properly! 

Sleep: Really bad this week, have found it hard to get comfortable sleeping on my side when i reaaaally just want to sleep on my back! but i'm trying not too for the baby! also been waking up at 5/6am to be sick and peeing 2 or 3 times a night!!

Best moment this week: Not much has been good about this week! Apart from my mum has bought some baby stuff which is getting me excited, i just want to meet our little one already!

Miss anything? Same as last time; I miss feeling 'normal'! I have suffered badly with morning sickness and horrendous migraines since i was 6 weeks! Around week 7/8 it was awful and i actually even thought i couldn't do it any longer, i just wanted to be me again and feel better! The last 2 days i haven't physically been sick which is a miracle, so hopefully it is easing and i can start enjoying this pregnancy! I also miss working out, because i've been so ill i havent done any exercise at all! :( I have also missed having prawns, like a yummy prawn mayo baguette/sandwich! 

Movement: Same as last time; I'm not sure if i've felt movement yet but i have had a few flutter/butterflies but i'm not sure what it is!

Food cravings: My morning sickness is still bad so im still not able to eat healthy, although i have been trying to swap macdonalds for healthier baguettes and jacket potatoes! Craving COLD COLD things! Diet coke with loads of ice, frozen yogurt, ice cream, ice lollies!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Same as last time! Still really sick :( Lots! Coffee, Tea, the texture of vegetables & fruit (except strawberries?!), the thought of raw chicken and having to cook it, the texture of pasta! Sometimes i cant stomach water!

Gender: Same as last time! Don't know! At first i thought it was a boy but now i think it could be a girl! The chinese birth chart also says girl!

Labour signs: Nope!

Symptoms: Same! Morning sickness, horrendous migraines, sore boobies and they are massive, metally/creamy taste in my mouth, fatigue.

Belly button in or out? In!

Wedding rings on or off? Haven't got any!

Happy or moody most of the time: Same! On sick days im super moody because i feel i just cant do it anymore and i want it to be over and done ith and have my baby already :( but when i feel better im excited to start growing and cant wait to meet our little baby!!

Looking forward to: Already looking forward to meeting my baby and seeing if it's a boy or a girl! We don't want to found out the gender at our 20 week scan, i want Warren to tell me when the baby is born :)

I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the lack of posts, but after my last post, i found out i was pregnant on the 14th March! It wasn't planned and so was a big shock but we are happy and obviously decided to keep our little pea pod in the end! We did consider the 'A' word but i knew i couldn't do it and we had no real reason to do it. We're happy together, we live together, we want to be together, we both wanted kids one day and hubby has a good job. 

The hurdles we had to overcome was that i had been sacked about 3 weeks before we found out so had no income, and we also lived in Bristol away from our friends/family and only in a 1 bedroom flat that didn't allow kids. That week was a bit hectic in sorting things out, it was an emotional roller coaster! It hasn't been easy at all, there's been a lot of arguments and tears and different view on things but it's never going to be that easy, having a baby is a big decision wether it's planned or not.

How far along? 13 weeks and 3 days!

Total weight gain/measurements: About 6lbs already!

Maternity clothes: None so far, but i'm living in leggings and tights with stretchy skirts! 

Stretch marks? None yet, i've been a bit lazy using any stretch mark cream/oil but i do have the new johnsons one that i've used a few times! I need to start using it regularly now i'm starting to grow properly! 

Sleep: Hasn't been too bad, i've had a lot of sleep through the first trimester, the tiredness is unbelievable! It's slowly getting better but this week i've found it hard to get comfortable!

Best moment this week: We had our dating scan on Thursday evening! Everything looked good and we did opt for the down syndrome screening so we should get those within a week! We got some pictures and they put me forward to 13 weeks and 1 day when i thought i was 12 weeks and 3 days! It's not a huge difference but week 13 seems so much more exciting than week 12, it's the second trimester!!

Miss anything? I miss feeling 'normal'! I have suffered badly with morning sickness and horrendous migraines since i was 6 weeks! Around week 7/8 it was awful and i actually even thought i couldn't do it any longer, i just wanted to be me again and feel better! The last 2 days i haven't physically been sick which is a miracle, so hopefully it is easing and i can start enjoying this pregnancy! I also miss working out, because i've been so ill i havent done any exercise at all! :( I have also missed having prawns, like a yummy prawn mayo baguette/sandwich! 

Movement: I'm not sure if i've felt movement yet but i have had a few flutter/butterflies but i'm not sure what it is!

Food cravings: I haven't had any proper cravings where i HAVE to have it, but when my sickness was bad, the only thing i could keep down was macdonalds! I mentioned it to my midwife because i was worried about not being healthy but she said you just have to get through the first trimester and eat whatever you can!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Lots! Coffee, Tea, the texture of vegetables & fruit (except strawberries?!), the thought of raw chicken and having to cook it, the texture of pasta! Sometimes i cant stomach water!

Gender: Don't know! At first i thought it was a boy but now i think it could be a girl! The chinese birth chart also says girl!

Belly button in or out? In!

Wedding rings on or off? Haven't got any!

Happy or moody most of the time: I've been pretty moody since we found out because i've felt so awful i haven't been able to really take it in, but since the scan i've been happier and more excited! 

Looking forward to: Already looking forward to meeting my baby and seeing if it's a boy or a girl! We don't want to found out the gender at our 20 week scan, i want Warren to tell me when the baby is born :)

Meet our little pea pod!!
