I cant believe that i am almost half way!! Little ones movement are more noticeable now, but they seem to be quite sporadic. A couple weeks ago i could time when he/she would be more active, but at the moment theres no pattern...
I do notice that my bump goes hard at some times during the day, and i have put this down to baby moving towards the front.... that said, i have had a UTI and that gave me some "tightenings" but i dont think it is that that i am feeling now.
UTI has been a nightmare, the doctors go crazy when you are pregnant with a UTI! I have peed in at least 4 pots in the last 2 weeks for testing, and been to the docs 2 times for results... the last one seemed ok, but the receptionist called today to tell me to collect some more penicillin even though i Saw the doc 2 days ago and all was ok?!?! I booked in to see doc instead on Thursday, as i think there is some confusion and i don't want to take pills if i dont need to, i certainly dont feel UTI ish.... that said i am peeing alot at night still - anyone else do this anyway while pregnant??
I am still in non maternity clothes, although i cant do my trousers up so had to buy a "belly belt" pack and a belly cover thingy to help keep things covered! Maternity trousers are huge and have massive stretchy bump covers that i just dont need right now!
Bump isnt really that big either, so i am looking forward to the 20 wk scan to check all is ok etc!! I have promised myself i will relax a bit after this scan and start to enjoy this pregnancy!!
I have called the physios regarding my pubic pain and am waiting for an appt, but we keep missing each others calls which sucks :(
Boobs are continuing to grow ever bigger! Rest assured should i fall off a boat i will float!!!
Tiredness seems to be the name of the day still, and i find the afternoons are worse (i could do with a doze now), but i find it hard to sleep at night OR to lay in which is very frustrating...
Anyways, i must get on here more often i am a bad blogger!!!!

p.s acid..... burping....acid :~(
In regards to the UTI - if they called a few days later to give you more antibiotics, your urine culture probably showed signs of bacterial growth, which often takes two days to get the results in.
ReplyDeleteYou are at much higher risk for the uti turning into a kidney infection while pregnant. Take the antibiotics and get rid of it. it can also cause premature birth and other complications. Also that "tightening" - those are contractions, likely at this stage just braxton hicks, nothing to worry about it's not labor. They can start as early as 10 weeks.
I get up 4-6 times in the night to pee, but I'm also 8 months pregnant. I peed a lot in the beginning, and then 2nd tri I was able to keep it down to one pee a night usually. Slow down on fluid intake by 7pm, but NOT if you still have a UTI. Drink all day all night until that UTI is gone completely. Especially if you have a stubborn one, which it sounds like you do.
