Meeting The Midwife

We met our midwife yesterday and she is absolutely lovely!  My god she can yak lol.  We didn't really go over any medical history, weight, BP etc etc, we just yakked for an hour about what happens and when, what to expect etc.  We've been told to look into booking our antenatal classes now if we haven't already as they book up quickly, we have a friend who is organising these for us and it looks like that will be from November - January.  We were also told about a one-off class called 'Tender Shoot' that just focuses on what to do when you get home and all the practical stuff, we'll probably do this one too.

With my erratic cycle history and the fact that I want my 11.5-14 week nuchal translucency scan at 13 weeks, when Mum is visiting, we have decided to get an early scan to confirm my dates.  I have booked this in for NEXT TUESDAY!  OMG we are so excited :)  Kind of freaking out that they'll see nothing there and the whole pregnancy thing has been in my head lol.  Just really looking forward to seeing that heart beat as it was too early to hear it with the doppler yesterday :(

Morning sickness seems to be subsiding a bit which is nice, but hope it's not a bad sign!  God, you could worry over every little thing!  I have only had mild nausea the past couple of days and that has pretty much coincided with when I'm feeling really hungry so I think it's just a matter of keeping food in my belly.  I'm getting better at eating now and have managed about a half-sized portion of dinner the past couple of nights.  I have however lost just over 1kg in the past week or two but have been told it's nothing to worry about.

Looking forward to doing this weeks photo tomorrow, feeling like I might have popped out a wee bit this week lol  Tummy and boobs feeling firmer and ITCHY nipples omg, sorry, TMI but it's driving me mad lol
