A Mummy-To-Be…

Well, the weeks are moving along nicely now. Tomorrow we will be 17 weeks pregnant which means that we are about 37% of the way through!

I’m no longer feeling sick every day at 11am and 4pm. That’s now passed, thank goodness. I feel sick when I’m hungry but that can easily be resolved.

Flump has now moved up a good inch or so. I had a few days where I couldn’t find the heartbeat after a good 5 minutes searching so started jiggling up and down on the mad like a mad woman, trying to get him to move. It seemed to work. It’s worrying at first, especially after being able to find him first time almost every time but I’m now a bit wiser as to where on my belly I should be searching!

Talking of bellies, sometimes mine feels rock hard now. It’s quite exciting. I keep feeling little popping sensations too but I’m convinced it is gas at the moment rather than Flump kicking or moving. Who knows though! I should start to feel some kind of proper flutterings over the coming 3 weeks or so. I can’t wait for something definite!

The first Ante-Natal appointment is this week. I’m quite looking forward to that as she should measure the fundal height and have a listen to the heartbeat herself. I’m such a pro with the doppler now that if she has trouble finding it, I might just take it off her and show her how it’s done! Kidding, of course!

I think that is all for now. Nothing more to report really. Everything appears to be well so I shall sign off for now
