Yep it's started!

First bout of morning sickness.

Woke up feeling queasy so I had some toast, haven't bought crackers or biscuits yet. Felt ok for about 30 mins then queasy again, like I was car sick. 2 hours later I was sick. So my hunger theory not quite accurate lol.

Apart from that feeling ok...um except by big toe! No idea what I did to start it off (I'm blaming Ashley, the cat, he sleeps by my feet and I reckon he bit it in the night!) but its enflamed like its ingrown and was very painful yesterday, but not so back today, weird hmm.

Morning Sickness?

Felt crappy all day yesterday, spent most of the day in bed reading. Felt sick whenever I was hungry, is that morning sickness?

I researched, as I do, have to know everything there is to know about everything lol, and yes, for some people thats morning sickness, hmmmm. Anyway was almost sick in the morning, nothing in tum so just dry heaves, sorry if T.M.I. lol.

Today I feel dizzy and a bit queasy on and off. But I think the other end is better, I hope .


7 Week Fetal Development


"Now about half an inch / 1.25 centimetres long, the size of a grape, the embryo has distinct, slightly webbed fingers and toes. It's a jumping bean, moving in fits and starts. The liver is churning out large amounts of red blood cells until the bone marrow forms and takes over this role.

The eighth week marks the beginning of a very busy developmental stage. Between now and 20 weeks, your baby will be growing rapidly, and body parts that formed in the first few weeks of life (such as the heart and brain) will become more specialised and complicated. Right now, the teeth and palate are forming, while the ears continue to develop. The fetus' skin is paper thin, and veins are clearly visible.
You're in the throes of the first trimester, when many women complain of common pregnancy aches and pains. Keeping food down may be next to impossible, thanks to morning sickness, caused in part by the pregnancy hormones in your body. You may also need to urinate a lot more often than usual -- your growing uterus is pressing on your bladder, and hormones are affecting the balance of fluid in your body. All will diminish as your pregnancy continues.

Exercise is good for you. Check out our fitness section to find out what forms of exercise are safe during pregnancy.

Upset tum

Bad tum from 4 o'clock yesterday, feels tender now. I'm sure the cats knocked me out and spent all night trampolining on it!

It's either:-

a) A bug
b) Dodgy food, (had breakfast in Debenhams)
c) IBS which is prob what it is.
d) Or maybe I have bad tum unstead of morning sickness, groan hope not!

Anyway went to Basingstoke shopping yesterday and bought some oversize clothes for when im bigger. Mostly vests, couldn't find any draw string trousers I like, will try looking in shops here. Got a new coat, my friend kindly called it a flasher mac lol.

6 Week Scan


























Heres the pics :) First one shows the Sack size 22mm and the second shows the bub's size 8.1mm, the size of a rice krispie lol.

Yes theres just the one lol, the doctor had a good look incase there were more.

Saw the heartbeat it was amazing :)

Day Before Scan

I was just thinking, I am probably the same size now as I should be in about 6 months time hehehe, huge! I'm very bloated, also just had dinner and I'm at bursting point lol. We had stew, I know middle of summer but I just fancied it:)

Had a lukewarm bath a while ago as I had to shave my legs, and I could hardly reach, had to laugh. Hate trying to shave my legs in the shower, it just doesn't work :P

6 Weeks Fetal Development

The embryo is the size of a lentil this week. If you could see inside yourself, you'd find the fetus has an oversized head in proportion to its body. The embryo's facial features are forming with dark spots where the eyes are, openings where the nostrils will be, and pits to mark the ears.

Protruding buds that will become the arms and legs are even more noticeable now. The embryo's hands and feet look like paddles. Other developments include the growth of the pituitary gland and muscle fibres. You can't hear it yet, but the heart (which has divided into the right and left chambers) is beating at about 150 beats a minute -- twice the rate of yours.

Halfway through this week, the embryo makes its first movements. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until sometime in the second trimester before you get to enjoy feeling your baby's exercise sessions.

Scan this Thursday can't wait, wish I had one of those machines so I could look for myself hehe.

Not sleeping too well, partly the hot weather but also really hard not to sleep on my tummy. I know its early and it shouldn't matter yet, but its uncomfy what with sore boobs and bloated tum.
Wierd dreams too - Last night I was in a Russian newspaper shop and there was a huge tank with sharks in it. Someone had been bitten and I was trying to keep them still so I could sew up the wound, strange lol. And they also kept turning into a cat hmmm....

5 Weeks and 5 days

I haven't had any wierd cravings yet, but I always seem to be hungry, even when I can't possibly fit anything else in!
Lots of headaches too, or one continuous one with breaks in it, not fun :( Iv'e woken up this morning with another, oh well.

Still hot, I wish we could have a storm to clear the air a bit. Although I woke in the night freezing, had to get under my covers lol.
Still bloated, skin playing up a bit, not as bad as last time, phew :)
