Hello, how are you all doing? I've not been around for a week or so, had really bad morning sickness lasting 24/7 - it was awful. I'm feeling much better for the last 2 days so thought I'd pop in for a quick update if anyone is interested.
I seen the midwife yesterday for the first time, she booked me in & gave me lots of leaflets aswell as some bag with little free sample gifts in. She filled in the paperwork & was popping into the hospital last night to drop off my forms & I should expect a date for my scan through the post - my first scan should be in about 3 weeks or so.
This morning I went to the clinic to have my bloods taken, that was all fine & well apart from the fact I was feeling a little queasy this morning but not half as bad as I have been. The midwife said my due date is 11th November - so that makes me 8+, almost 9 weeks pregnant. She said not to take that date too seriously as when I have my scan it could change a few days either way. It would be strange if it was a few days earlier, 7th November is my partners birthday so it would be cute to have the baby then - I was born on my dads birthday also!
I'm getting my apetite back, although its very slow at least I am able to keep some food & fluids down now. I was worried sick last week I wasn't keeping the baby healthy enough because I couldn't stand to eat anything and anything what went passed my lips food or drink was coming straight back up - I think I slept the whole of last week and barely moved from the bed/sofa/bathroom! I'm having three small meals now whether its a sandwich or cereal with some fruit and also a pint of milk a day.
I had stomach pains on/off for a couple of days at the beginning of the week which was worrying - no spotting/bleeding though. I spoke to the midwife about it yesterday & she said it was just normal, something to do with the fluids in the tudbe, the baby growing/moving & things like that so she put my mind at ease - I've not had anymore pain today so thats good.
Anyway I am sure people who are reading this are bored to tears now so I'll go potter around finding something else to cure my bordom today! [:I][
