Well im now 17 weeks and 5 days. On satuarday i will be 18 weeks and exactly half way through the pregnancy.
This second trimester so far has been a little easier. I lost the morning sickness and the tiredness faded away. I feel more like myself and less like death warmed up..lol
I do seem to be suffering from bad heartburn though and getting alot of back ache. Im also finding it harder to get comfortable in bed at night. Ive put this down to my bed being terrible and extremely uncomfortable. I have a new bed arriving today so hopefull that will help. If not then i think i will look into buying a maternity pillow to support me at night.
Had a midwife appointment yesterday and all was well. Shes happy that the baby is doing well. I didnt get to hear the babys heart beat as i had hoped as she was rushed between appointments and had left the heart beat listener at the other clinic. Me and partner was a bit dissapointed about this but hopefully it wont be too long before we finally hear our babys heart beat.
Ive started to feel the baby move. It started out with the feeling of a bubble popping inside. It then turned to more like flutters but last night i was laying on my belly and it really did feel like and baby moving and it felt so strong
. Its just so exciting. cant wait to feel the first kick or punch.
Well thats about it for my update for now.
