Hello all. Sorry I've been quiet over the past few days, I've been feeling dead on my feet 😴
Sickness is becoming stronger every day (I'm 7+3) and also feeling absolutely shattered.
Went for a private early scan on Saturday just for reassurance - we rang at 2pm and they got us in at 3.30! The lady said everything seemed really good. So sign of bleeding anywhere in or around the area, baby measured 6+6 so only 1 day out from my calculations.
We saw the little heartbeat fluttering away but it was still too early to hear it.
She also showed me that my cervix was tightly shut according to the scan- which is good.
The baby just looked like a little wotsit on screen 😁!
Still early days I know, but the scan definitely eased my worries and made everything seem more real.
Had my face to face midwife appointment today where I received my little file with all my notes, she took me weight/measurements /blood pressure and urine sample too 🥰
As many of you have stated, I am also waking at 3am/4am and lying there awake for hourssss! Only seem to fall back to sleep 10mins before my alarm (typical!)...so I'm glad to hear this is normal.
Also having more and more nightmares - is this a thing in pregnancy?...
@Cruz86 I am also having a dull ache hip to hip most of the time - midwife told me it's my body stretching 🤷🏻♀️.
Have also got a lot of lower back / sciatica / hip pains.
Midwife stressed the fact that most people underestimate the huge changes the first 12weeks brings. Made me promise to rest lots, sleep lots, nap lots and not to lift anything heavy.
How is everyone else feeling? Hope everybody is ok 💕
