I started off my pregnancy diaries last week bemoaning about the morning sickness and worrying about the 4lb weight loss from all the vomiting. Well..this week I put 3lb of it back on and was only sick once – swings and roundabouts, eh?
This week has been good on the symptoms part really. No nausea to speak of really, no cravings (I never had them with Jack either), just a little bit of back pain (which could be from sitting at a desk all day) and a weird bout of vomiting which came on suddenly out of nowhere and didn’t feel like sick at all – more like the baby had just booted the food I had just eaten back up from my stomach.
But you don’t want to hear about that, do you? No..I wouldn’t either.
I have felt slight flutters already which is really strange but so nice. I have a midwife appointment on Friday morning which I am not looking forward to – does anyone enjoy getting stabbed in the arm with a needle? I don’t! I’ve only got three more weeks until we can potentially find out the sex of the baby, I’m so excited!
In regards to the weight gain, I posted a picture on Instagram talking about how gains are all part of the process of pregnancy and whilst I don’t want to pile on every pound that I have lost since I started back on, I don’t mind a little each week – as long as I don’t go back to where I was and really struggle to get it off again once baby is here. I’m going to be sticking to the plan 100% (okay, with the odd indulgent treat – a pregnant woman is allowed that, right?) – and hopefully keep to a healthy weight throughout pregnancy and not have too much to lose when I get back to it properly after baby has arrived.
Here’s hoping for another week of no sickness, I am enjoying finally seeming to have dodged the bullet on that one! Let’s hope it lasts!
Of course you’re allowed treats – LOTS of them 🙂 Here’s to a healthy few months ahead
I was only sick twice throughout and the only thing that triggered nausea was brushing my teeth! Ginger biscuits (which I didn’t like before and still don’t) were the only thing that stopped it; if I did feel sick.
Heartburn which was bad at times – Gripe water worked a treat and TOTALLY safe! x
Congratulations first and foremost. I do hear of pregnant women losing weight due to the sickness but then putting it back on, as long as you’re healthy and it’s going well lovely, all good news xo
I was so poorly when pregnant with my twins weight gain was the least of my worries! They were huge born and my stomach really shows it sadly
Hope it improves for you and baby is growing well x
Oh dear, morning sickness is no fun at all. Hopefully that stage will finish shortly for you! The first flutterings are always so lovely too, I think.
I didn’t really suffer from sickness apart from in my last pregnancy when I had no idea I was pregnant. Here’s hoping you fell much better soon.
fingers crossed you have your week of no sickness. Pregnancy can change as quickly as the wind. Reading your post reminded me of my own pregnancy long ago.
Indulgent treats (in moderation obvs) are definitely allowed xx
Hun you’re growing another human being ofcourse you are allowed a couple treats. Good luck with the midwife appointment
Ooh congrats and hope everything goes well for you. xx
Congratulations!!! I hope the sickness clears up I had it quite badly with all 3 of mine x
Congratulations lovely. Don’t worry too much about the weight honestly – But i do understand what you mean. I was really worried about weight gain during my pregnancy but i have since lost 25lbs in 3 weeks
Those flutters are definitely pretty crazy! It’s nice that things aren’t too intense at this point!
Fingers crossed for another week with no sickness for you x
I lost 14lbs in the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy due to horrible sickness, but at 16 weeks it stopped and the weight soon came back. I am 6 months now 🙂
MY friend used to get really bad sickness when she was pregnant x
Good to hear this week was better for you! Must be such a rollercoaster ride.
I am hoping you take full advantage of the treats and enjoying every single minute x
Congratulations! Pregnancy is probably the one time us ladies can get away with eating all the treats, make the most of it 🙂
How did I miss that you are pregnant? Congratulations!! xx
Your allowed as many treats as you want hun! Eat lots of treats and don’t feel guilty you deserve it xx
Omg I am so excited for you! I hope you eat all the treats that you want!
xoxo, Candice
I love reading diaries of life events like this! I don’t really know much about pregnancies but seems like everything is going well! All the best for future weeks!
It must be so exciting and such a special feeling to be able to feel your baby moving inside. I’m really happy for you!
What a great thing to document. Congratulations hun xx
I was so poorly with morning sickness with my twins – right up to being 32 weeks pregnant!! I totally sympathise with you x
I never actually had any morning sickness during my pregnancy. I hope the morning sickness improves for you.
