I’ve reached 18 weeks in my Piglet pregnancy and some days I feel as though I have been pregnant of ages, yet other days I feel so unprepared for the weeks that lay ahead. My emotions are getting the better of me at the moment and I’m crying at everything (note to self – always carry tissues).
Piglet
- Is the size of a sweet potato
- Has learned how to yawn, hiccup, suck and swallow
- Piglet can now twist, roll, punch and kick – although I’ve only felt one or two movements
Feeling
I’ve still been feeling very breathless at times plus some heart palpitations. As my iron levels are apparently OK my GP won’t start me on iron tablets, however has signed me off work for the next weeks in order to have some further bloods taken and to rest as much as possible.
Eating
I’m struggling with food, I don’t particularly fancy anything to eat. Lots of foods are starting to give me indigestion so I’m finding it difficult find things to have as meals. I’m loving a good bowl of Crunchy Nut cornflakes so they are my fall back food of choice at the moment.
Appointments
No midwife, hospital or scan appointments recently just a trip to see my GP. I’m feeling quite lost by the lack of appointments that I’m going to have during this pregnancy – just because I’ve had a child(ren) before why should I get any fewer appointments than a new mum?
