Happy St David's Day (just)! And happy birthday, why.
I couldn't resist the scales either after all the posts - at 21+5 I'm 4kg/8lb heavier than at conception. Overall I'm a stone heavier than my normal weight though, as I'd put on a couple of kg in August/September, having completely given up on TTC and gone to Italy for 3 weeks with DH to eat and drink. I did lose about 3kg with the first trimester hypermesis superdrama, but I'm glad the weight gain is now as expected. I wouldn't worry about it Kentishgal and others - so much of it is fluid and placenta and stuff.
Also still suffering from sickness and not got a great appetite. Apart from for milk. Massive cravings for it, but DH thinks it's given me a cough. Not like a sore throat, but an allergic (tmi) mucousy type cough. Not sure if that's possible.
No other cravings, but still very quick to not want something the minute it's in front of me. Snacks I pack in the morning often go uneaten. It's really tedious and I want to be able to enjoy food again!
Hchy I know that worry, feels horrible, fingers crossed she gets back to it soon! We had takeaway burgers too! 😊
BeckyButterfly that bump photo is really cool!
Toria hello, nice to see you back! My belly button is also making a bid for prominence. It feels icky when it catches on clothes. I think it's mostly in my head, and perhaps a little bit to do with the fact that the skin that's now more exploded isn't as sensitised to brushing up against stuff. I really hope it goes back to how it was! Have read that it does. Sounds odd but, with it sticking out more, I keep thinking how it's where my own umbilical cord once was and it's a strange feeling!
The baby is kicking more often and more strongly. Strongly enough now for me to notice in conversation or in meetings when I'm not really looking for it. It can be distracting and a bit unnerving when I'm absorbed in something else at work and the baby reminds me of her presence!
