25+5 weeks!

Well we have been away for a week in sunny yet chilly Devon, and we did ALOT of walking, which to be honest hasn't done my pelvis any good at all "sigh". I seem to be getting bony pain right down in my crotch now which is what i had right at the start of the pelvic dysfunction... I'm kinda hoping this is part baby growing and that my body will get used to it. Physio again next week, so i guess she will tell me more.

Bump is growing happily and very wiggly. I would describe her movements  as "clunky" now, not the pretty flutterings you get earlier on! She is still quite random in movements and has stopped the bed time wriggling which is a relief! Now she tends to wake up around 8pm and wiggles a fair bit in the mornings around 9am, and always when i eat or drink anything yummy!

Slowly stocking up on baby goods, but ebay hasn't blessed us with decent second hand furniture yet! Took a look at some last week that was supposed to be immaculate to find big chunks out of the feet when we got there on the cot! Grrrr. Looking at another set this Friday, then i think i will give it 4 weeks to find something, before we have to rethink what we want, as i need to wash a tonne of baby clothes we have been given and put them away asap!

Had a few bad headaches while we were away which sucked, but other than that i have the odd bit of acid reflux now and again and that's it!! I think i can feel my fibroid stretching sometime which is like a quick stabbing pain, but will check that with MW when i see her this week.  Oh oh oh i think my boobs are starting to leak a little (when encouraged by me) clear fluid....is this too early for milk?

No stretch marks yet, still watching my old ones start to shine a little more (from growing not from pregnancy), but i am expecting to get some pretty soon :(

Hope you are all happy and healthy

18.5 weeks, thats like almost half way!

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 :~(

Nause-ARGHHHHH

Wow its fair to say i have been truly hit by the vomitting truck! I had a good week back at work last week, and managed to keep small amounts of food in me all day :) Then this week happened! I have spent nearly all of this week with my head back in the bucket/toilet/any vessel thats near! I have only kept 3 bits of toast down in 3 days, and yesterday even liquid wasnt staying down.... today however i found restbite in lucozade...what an amazing product it is, and i havent been sick!
It doesnt help that i have a mucousy nose which makes me gag quite alot and thus starts the sickness off again!
I guess its a good sign to be so ill, but i really would like to be a human again please!
Breast tenderness comes and goes, but still wearing a bra at night which helps.
Cant see a bump yet (obviously), but i certainly feel quite full in my uterus if i lean anything on it.
Saw my midwife for the first time this week. She seemed a bit "wet", more interested in paperwork than me, and when i told her about the sickness she told me to eat....ummmm go figure! Sheesh. I see her again at 16 weeks, so pretty much on my own until then. We should have our scan before this however.

So at the moment, my life is of the head in buckett form, with as much work as poss in between!

Thanks for all your comments, and i hope you are all well.
