"Your baby is now about the size of an avocado, is about 10.1cm long from crown to rump, and weighs approximately 100g. In the next three weeks she'll go through a tremendous growth spurt, doubling her weight and adding inches to her length. In or out of the uterus (womb), babies are playful creatures. Yours may already have discovered her first toy – the umbilical cord – which she'll enjoy pulling and grabbing. Sometimes she may even clutch it so tight that less oxygen gets through, but don't worry – she doesn't hold onto it long enough to harm himself.
The circulatory system and urinary tract are in full working order, and she's inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid through her lungs. Your baby is immersed in amniotic fluid, which is protecting her as she grows in the amniotic sac.
Sometimes, when you move suddenly, you may a feel a slight pain in your sides. Ligaments on each side of your uterus and pelvic walls are stretching as your baby grows. It's normal to feel some pain, but if it continues for a few days or gets worse, talk to your midwife."
Im always pulling something lol. My appetites most certainly back again, all I want to do is eat. Better be careful I guess or I will have the midwife telling me off hehe. Couple more symptoms I've read are pregnancy related: Stuffy nose, I thought I was getting a cold for the last couple of weeks but no, its down to increased blood flow to the nasal membranes, strange lol. Also itchy skin, I thought I had fleas hehe....Joke!
I keep checking for this colostrum, which starts getting made now, hubby keeps telling me to leave my boobies alone! Well it fascinates me :P
Slept better last night, I've put the winter duvet back on, maybe I was snugger I don't know, and I even laid in and went back to sleep. Normally I can't do that, it gives me a headache.
Mosely is still in and out, Belle bullys him, shes impressed shes found a cat thats intimidated by her! lol. Wil and Ash never take any notice.
