Will I explode? lol

For this scan Tuesday they want me to drink a LITRE of water! Thats a lot. The last scan I had was only half a pint and that was bad enough. Even worse at the moment where I'm in and out of the loo constantly hehe. This will be an experience lol, maybe I should wear a nappy :P

Morning sickness seems to have died down again, I really shouldn't say that! lol. They say the uterus pops over the pelvic bone from 11 weeks and I'm pretty sure I can feel it.

The visitor cat is still coming in everyday for breakfast, I've managed to stroke him the last couple of days, before, he would just run away. He's getting braver :)

11 Weeks Today

"You're getting close to the end of the first trimester. Most of the baby's critical development will be behind you after the next couple of weeks, and the odds of miscarriage will soon drop considerably.

Measuring from the crown of his head to his rump, your 1.5-inch/ 4-centimetre fetus has all his parts, from tooth buds to toenails. Your baby is busy kicking and stretching; his movements are so fluid they look like water ballet. Fingers and toes have fully separated. Now the fetus's main task during the next six months will be to grow larger and stronger until it can survive on its own outside the womb.

A dark vertical line of pigmentation, called the linea nigra, may appear on your abdomen. Your uterus has risen above your pelvic bones and your midwife can now feel it during an external examination."


I seem to have stopped being sick, now I've said that it will start again lol. Last time I was sick was Wednesday 5th. I worried a bit but I'm sure everything is ok. Still have all the other symptoms lol. My appetites come back, I'm hungry all the time. Going to have to be very careful not to pile the weight on hmm.

Scan is next Tuesday and I can't wait.

Update

Ignore what I put, my honey nut cornflakes just hit the loo, yuk :(

Soggy Day Today

Rain, rain and more rain!

The cats are annoyed with me because its raining, they don't understand its not me doing it lol. The visitor came in again this morning, i'm sure its a stray, it was starving. I was sat on the floor chatting to it and letting it finish our cats leftovers and biscuits. It looks ok, but very hungry. Whoever it belongs to isn't feeding it :(

I'd adopt him (her) but its terrified of people, flinches constantly. Our cats don't seem to mind it, in fact it was Ash that was hanging out with it first lol. We thought it was him, looks very similar hehe.

Very queasy day yesterday, felt sick all day. My dinner went down the loo:( and did so much heaving my throat was sore.
I'm not sure which is worse, being sick or spending all day feeling sick. Annoying. I complain, but when I'm not sick I worry lol doh!

10 Weeks Today!

"The fetus is only about 1.2 inches / 3 centimetres long from crown to rump and weighs less than a sixth of an ounce / 4 grams. Even so, it's busily swallowing and kicking. Each day more minute details start to appear, such as fingernails and peach-fuzzy hair.

The vital organs -- the liver, kidneys, intestines, brain, and lungs -- are fully formed and functional, while the head is almost half the length of the entire body. The forehead temporarily bulges and sits high on the head, but later will change into a more human-like feature.

If you could take a look at your baby this week, you'd be able to see the clear outline of his spine. Spinal nerves stretch out from the spinal cord.

Your uterus is now the size of a grapefruit. With the help of a Doppler, a hand-held soundwave stethoscope, you can hear the fetus's rapid heartbeat -- one expectant mother likened it to the sound of tiny horses galloping.

You will soon have your booking-in appointment where your blood will be taken for routine tests. Find out what they are testing for."

Almost 3 months, wow, time is flying :)
I have a scan on the 18th then I have to book midwife again for around the 9th September.

Booking Bloods

Went to the Hospital this morning to get my booking in bloods done. The lady on reception didn't quite know what I was on about lol and tried to send me over to the other building for blood tests.
Anyway went to the birth centre and they did my blood there. The nurse was nice and I don't think I am going to bruise, I normally do. I got excited when they said they could do a scan too if I wanted, but then i had to say I had a scan day booked.

Morning sickness seems to be every day now and I also had the other end joining in Saturday, not much fun! I was slightly amused when hubby had an upset tum too :P No that wasn't sympathy tum it was down to drink, even though he says it was from drinking too much juice lol.

I've decided if I am feeling sick, nothing is going to stop it, it just prolongs the annoyance a bit longer :) So better out than in definitely. I hate the days where I'm queasy all day and then sick in the evening, that's the worst.

Seeing as I am moaning about bodily complaints hehe, I have one of those annoying headaches. It started yesterday, went through the night and it's carrying on today grrr. Tried to sleep it off awhile ago , but no luck. Now I'm trying crisps and a mars bar lol :D

Sickness

I've decided it's escalating, 3 days in a row. Before, it was sort of every other day and last 2 days its been in the evening. Hmm maybe I am trying to see patterns where there arn't any! lol

Bought flooring for nursery. Can't put it down yet though until radiators are in and got rid of bed. Also all the other junk needs a new home lol.

1st Midwife Appointment - Booking In :)

She was lovely and didn't moan about my weight at all, phew lol. We were in there about an hour answering questions, blood pressure, urine test etc.

Have to go up the hospital Monday for booking blood/urine tests. Not long after that I should have a letter through saying when my scan will be. I will see the midwife again in about 6 weeks. We agreed to the screening test for down syndrome, (partly as I thought I wouldn't get a scan otherwise lol) but not the diagnostic ones where they draw off fluid.

Came home from that and pigged out on pizza and onion rings, I was hungry! :D Oh and was sick last night at 10.15! Thats the latest so far.
