Pregnancy update 12 weeks

Last week we had our dating scan, it was very emotional for us. When sonographer applied gel and started looking at our baby, first few seconds I thought that we wont see anything, that nothing will be there, of course I was wrong. We saw baby moving, it's heart..

So,

Visible changes in my body: it seems that my belly is growing, but as I'm above average weight it's hard to say 100%

How do I feel: sick most of the time, plus I started having headaches

Cravings: still none

Any other changes: still suffer from increased sense of smell, driving me mad

Baby: baby is now around 2 inches long and the size of a plum (about 2.5 inches/6cm), and is growing rapidly. Baby's face is beginning to look more human. Eyes, which started out on the sides of the head, have moved closer together. Ears are almost in their final positions on the side of the head. Inside his/her body, organs are performing more complex tasks. Liver is making bile and kidneys are secreting urine into bladder.

What changes did you have at 12 weeks?

Pregnancy update 8 (10) weeks

Last week we were brave enough to tell our close relatives that we are expecting. I feel so relieved now, I needed a little bit more support and understanding from people, who know exactly how I feel.

In my previous post I mentioned that booked appointment to see midwife. Few days later I received a letter from a hospital saying that I will see a midwife and have dating scan, I am thrilled, but worried that it will be rushed..but we have to wait and see..

So,

Visible changes in my body: when I wear trousers it feels a bit tighter in a waist area

How do I feel: nauseous, sick

Cravings: I have more things I don’t feel like eating than cravings

Any other changes: increased sense of smell driving me mad- feel sick when my hubby uses deodorant, feel sick when I'm in the kitchen while hubby cooks; just generally anything can trigger my sickness. Yesterday I felt sorry for myself, couldn’t stop crying.

Baby: According to the time when we conceived our baby I am sure baby is around 8 weeks, but according to doctors calculations its 10 weeks (which still doesn’t make any sense to me). I guess we will get proper due date on our first appointment with a midwife.

How did you deal with sickness?
