I’m pretty sure I’ve been feeling some movements for the last couple of days. I can’t be entirely sure whether it’s just digestion but I remember thinking the same thing last time (quite a bit later) and then just knowing that there was something different about the sensation. Sickness is all gone now, I think the last…
[Note: as I type up this diary entry I am 25 weeks pregnant. At this rate, I’ll only catch up once the baby is born! So I’m going to try and get up to speed over the course of the next few days – sorry if it’s pregnancy diary overload.] I can honestly say that…
First day without a nap and I wasn’t even that tired! Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the second trimester. Is this the short one? I can’t remember… I feel so much better, which could be partly to do with giving up those bloody vitamins. (See 13 Weeks.) I do wonder whether I’d have had a…
I’ve suddenly had a fast-forward to thirteen weeks! I had my twelve week scan and was a bit further on than I thought – I must have ovulated on, like, day 2 of my cycle or something. (No wonder it took so long to get pregnant the first time – I caught really early in…
Not so much sickness at all, this week – it’s amazing how something can take over your life so completely and then just creep away quietly so that you forget it was ever there. I’m still very tired, so I definitely feel the baby “presence” but I’m definitely far less nauseous. Unless I’m hungry in…
I’m feeling a bit better this week in that I’m not so nauseous, but I’ve still had two naps today so perhaps I shouldn’t count my chickens, etc! My stomach is HUGE but I’m convinced that it’s just a big layer of fat with some bloating underneath it. The main thing is just a general…
Yesterday and the day before, I felt so wiped out that I thought I had flu. I didn’t even really have sickness all the time, just all of the other illness symptoms – to the point where I was convinced I actually was ill! I’m still checking the loo roll for blood every time I go –…
*note: at time of publishing I am actually 22 weeks along with this pregnancy. I recorded my early pregnancy diaries with the intention of writing them up later, so forgive the delay. “The sickness has been very bad, though I’m never sick. I have been so, so tired – almost like flu. I’m going to go…
I completely missed out the early weeks when I was writing about my first pregnancy and realised, in hindsight, that really they were the most important. I think that once you get past the first trimester, you settle into your pregnancy a bit (though I still worry a ridiculous amount) and the symptoms and ailments…
