Hiya - had my booking-in with the midwife on Tuesday; she was lovely, offered me a home birth straight up which I thought was aces. The breast feeding mafia speech soon after I was less keen on...it was very full-on! I have to see an Ob-Gyn consultant cause I'm old/a bit fat/have an existing heart thing but otherwise it's all community midwives and GP from hereon in. Pleasingly haven't put on any weight yet, although god knows how that's the case seeing as all I want (and eat) are carbs and salt, then some more carbs. Doesn't help the afternoon bloat at all.....
12-week scan is also 21-11. I think probably (hopefully?) that'll be the point at which I start to believe its really a human in there. Kind of scary, kind of cool?
Re: the FB discussions, I'm minded to stay here over FB really for all sorts of reasons, but let's see how we all feel in the second trimester?
Finally wanted to ask of anyone else has been getting headaches? I have, they're bloody horrid and one last weekend was properly migrainey and I couldn't take any of my usual, wonderful drugs to counteract it. I missed out on two big social dos with my closest group of friends. They are all getting v suspicious, and all due to come over to ours this Saturday and still no idea how I'm going to fake-drink boozes!
Good to hear all the rest of the group's news, it certainly relieves my mind that it's not just me acting a bit mental....
