My lord, this pregnancy lark is a whole knew world….. It’s hard to describe how I feel physically but it’s as if I have heated energy rushing around my abdomen. I‘ve decided to keep quiet about the pregnancy for the first 3 months as these are the most vulnerable weeks. The foetus is much more stable with less chance of miscarriage after that. I’m no spring chicken and I can’t help but worry a little about how my age will affect the child.
It’s really hard being at work when I feel sick along with all the resignation drama. Whoever defined ‘morning sickness’ should be karate chopped! It lasts all friggin day! I bet it was a bloke that started that! Thank God for peppermint or ginger which works great for nausea. I also feel much less sickness since taking my prenatal vitamins.
My belly often swells in the evening and goes down in the morning so I'm already having to adjust my clothing. No major moods swings yet though, a few tears while on the phone to mum one night but no urge to swing a machete around my husbands peanut head as yet.....
Despite the baby being really little, it’s hard not to get attached. I talk to her (don’t know sex for sure but feel it’s a girl) during my car journeys to work... I tell her how lovely her dad is and how much she’ll love him when they meet. I also play her music in the car as they can hear around 23 weeks old. She’s bound to love Shirley Bassy as I keep blasting ‘I am what I am!'
