Another Update! 13 weeks!

Hey everyone,

So this is my 13 week update! Feel like it's gone so quickly already! I had my 12 week scan as you might have seen in my previous blog post and my little bean was so wriggly and looked so beautiful. I decided to book a private scan for when I'm just over 16 weeks and I haven't decided yet whether I'd like to know gender so hopefully If I do i'm hoping to do a gender reveal :) I'm also starting my youtube account soon so maybe you could follow me on that, there will be reviews, updates, just general chit chat really!

So symptoms this week have been:

A more noticeable bump! Woohoo!
Some more nausea
Dizziness
Food aversions
Sore boobs on and off

I have also been looking into at home doppler monitors but don't know much about them so If anyone has any info that would be great, just comment below.

Made a few hiccups this week on foods and what to eat and what not to eat, it's just soooo hard to keep to all of the rules! Hopefully all will be ok, fingers crossed. Got my 16 week midwife appointment coming up to so I will update on that too!

Lots of Love

My 12 Week Update and Scan

Hey everyone!

So I went for my 12 week scan a few days ago and wow it was so amazing! Since last time I saw our baby he or she has grown so much and was such a wriggler so it was quite hard to get a photo and the measurements :) But they measured me at 12 weeks and 6 days when I originally thought I was 12 weeks 1 day so I'm now officially 13 weeks! :) How exciting!

So here is one of my scan photos:

As you can see, baby is lying upside down currently and just kept moving, I've never seen such an active baby before! It worried me a little at first but the sonographer assured me that it was normal :)

Symptoms this week have more or less been lots of dizziness and occasional nausea feeling, been really tired and just felt a bit bluergh but I'm almost in my second trimester which I'm really excited about! :)

Watch this space ladies, I will be uploading my 13 week bump soon!

Please leave any comments/thoughts below, I'd love to hear from you.

A Few Questions For You!

Hi everyone!

So I have a few questions to ask you guys, comment below and let me know your thoughts:

1. When did you start buying baby bits? Even just little things to start making things seem real?

2. At what stage did you start to decorate the nursery?

3. Do you think that nursery furniture should match or do you think it doesn't matter?

4. What is your favorite baby supplier/designer?

So there's just a few to get started, I'd love to hear your opinions! :)

10 Week Update & Bump Shot

Hi everyone!

So sorry I haven't blogged in a while been feeling rather lousy, but hey i'm blogging today and I'm officially 10 weeks and 3 days woohoo!

So since about 5 weeks as you probably have seen in previous posts I've been feeling quite sick but nothing like this! When I hit the 9 week mark I've been feeling absolutely bluergh! If you get me... You know the usual ABSOLUTELY exhausted, dizzy, feeling sick, achy, constipated (sorry tmi!), feeling hot oh and the list goes on. Let me know how you guys felt at this stage, comment below or you can contact me via my twitter/pinterest/email - all at the side of the page!

I have my 12 week scan booked at the beginning of September and I'm so excited, but still nervous. I'm just so worried something is going to go wrong between now and then (so in the space of 2 weeks or so) but you know how us pregnant women worry :/

So I'm going to insert an image of my bump so far and I think (I hope) it's progressing ok! So here goes... Oh and I also wanted to mention that I had a scan at about 8 and a half weeks and baby was 24mm and apparently that was about a week ahead... so I could be having a giant! :S A little scared about that but we will see :D

So let me know what you guys think about my bump and symptoms for this stage, would love to hear your thoughts. Also wanted to mention I'm going to start vlogging on Youtube soon aswell so you can all follow my pregnancy journey.

Apologies and ultrasound!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't been posting recently had so much on! Got sone good news though,
I went for an eight week ultrasound and saw little beans heartbeat! Amazing or what! I'll insert a photo of the ultrasound picture. What an amazing feeling to know my baby is snuggled up all warm and safe. :-)

And the Morning Sickness starts!

Hey everyone!

It starts! The Morning Sickness is here! Been feeling so nauseous today so thought I would pick up these...

I tried them today and haven't noticed much yet but then I only had them on for a short while. I've heard really good things about them actually, A few people on YouTube etc have recommend them too so thought I would try them for myself :) I also thought I might do a short review on them once I've used them a bit more.

So I have my next scan next week so I will be uploading a photo I'm really hoping that everything is ok so keep your fingers crossed! You'll see the Gestational Sac and Yolk Sac in a previous blog if you go back a little. Hopefully we've progressed on from that as it'll be about 2 weeks later. I've heard little bean grows a lot in the First Trimester.The Sonographer said that we will hopefully see a heart beat :)

My Symptoms:

Slightly sore boobs

Slightly sore nipples

Dizziness

Very very tired

Nausea on and off

Feeling strange

I'm currently taking:

Santogen Mum-to-be (Pre-natals)

I'm craving:

Currently craving Egg Mayonnaise sandwiches (I gave in and made two which I ate rather quickly!) and now I feel sick again :( Also was craving Tuna earlier (which I can't have) and Ice Lollies.

Thanks for reading!

See you soon!

Work and Feeling Tired

Hey everyone!

So I will be doing updates every week throughout my pregnancy but I thought I would do little insights into my life as a pregnant lady during the week too! :)

So I am currently between 5-6 weeks and I am feeling it! Been doing lots of work recently and been so busy at work (I work in an office) just feeling so tired! It's not nice when you are too tired to even do any housework and then you just feel useless I bet you all know what I mean right?

I keep wondering when the best time would be to tell my colleagues, probably past the 12 week scan I guess? Oh! and I got my booking appointment today! It's for in a couple of weeks time and when I'm also having my re-scan at the hospital so hopefully it'll all be ok! I'm so new to all of this, I have no idea what I'm doing haha. I never thought I'd be able to care for and look after a new born baby but the changes I've seen in young women that I know is incredible. The change from young lady to mother makes me believe that I can do this... I think :/

I also wanted to mention some other bloggers/vloggers on here as they have helped me with my journey so far by watching there amazing inspiring videos and reading their interesting blogs. Search 'Corrine and Matt' on youtube, such a lovely lady who is really informative of symptoms etc! Also search 'Katie and Baby' Another lovely lady with great information such as 'what you need for a newborn' and other videos including lifestyle videos, day in the life's and reviews etc!

So sorry if i'm boring! I'm really enjoying blogging so far and I hope to start my Vlogging channel on Youtube soon (at around 6-7 weeks) so watch this space! I've started filming some clips but wanted to get used to the video software before I upload anything and embarrass myself haha! There will be a new page coming soon with information on my Youtube videos and reviews etc.

My symptoms:

Nausea (on and off)

Sore boobs

Sore nipples

Very very tired!

Some cramping

Very dizzy when standing

Feeling hot in flushes

I've been taking:

Santogen Mum-to-be (Pre-natals)

Cravings:

Ice Lollies!

Thanks for reading!

See you soon!
