Week 13.5/14 Update


There has definitely been alot of growage in the last couple of weeks. No hiding it now! I am 14.5 weeks pregnant today and as much as alot of people say it's early, I have started feeling little somersaults in my belly. After a week of flutters and 'is that what I think it is?, this afternoon after laying down for half an hour and a somersault happening every 10 minutes I was sure. One minute my tummy was hard in the middle, then I feel the somersault and my belly was soft in the middle, then again, then hard again. Such a bizarre feeling. Amazing though.

Monday was my first antenatal appointment and I heard the heart beat. It was strong as anything and the doctor found it straight away. There's no hiding with this baby! We're all booked in to all our birthing classes and the team there are amazing.

I have been struggling with headaches in the afternoon/evening, lack of appetite, crazy dreams and insomnia - last night was the worst. I've been away since 3am (it's now almost 9pm). I have pretty much been eating toasted cheese sandwiches, pizza and anything bread related when I am hungry. I thought I'd gained a whooping kilo but I seemed to have lost it again, so still sitting on my before pregnancy weight. 

Got the referal for the next ultrasound which I can't wait to book because I am counting down the days til I found out the gender of this baby! I want to know so badly! SO BADLY.

  1. Looking beautiful Teneil! I had really bad headaches during pregnancy too until my midwife suggested special iron supplements. Hopefully you find something that works for you <3
