Well the past two weeks have flown by. So much so that I forgot to update my pregnancy diary! I am currently 17 weeks pregnant but I shall not talk about being 17 weeks until the end of the 17 weeks but what I will say is that I can feel the baby move! I have been feeling flutters for a while but put it down to trapped wind, which it could of been but the night before last I felt proper movement. It isn’t strong and it doesn’t happen all the time but it is certainly not trapped wind! I bought a doppler when I was pregnant with Miss A. I bled a lot when I was pregnant with her and it was a reassuring thing to have. A few days ago I found out that I can now use this now. So me, my fiancé and Miss A have all heard the baby’s heartbeat! Oh what a wonderful thing that is. I was paranoid when pregnant with Miss A, even more than I am with this one. I panicked every time I couldn’t feel her move.
I am feeling much better now. I can eat a lot more. Still a bit iffy with the really savoury food but it is improving. I am still craving yoghurt and I can eat them by the bucket load if I had that amount. I think I was the same with Miss A but it was milk. I really do hope I do not produce a cows milk intolerant child again. I really want to breastfeed the next one but if it is, I can’t see myself being able to stop eating dairy.
I am a lot less tired. It gets better as the weeks go on. At the moment Miss A isn’t so well so I am up with her at least three times a night. I have got what she has had so I feel a bit yucky at the moment. I will be fine!
So only good things have happened these past two weeks which is exactly what I needed. Was getting fed up with the bleeding and the worry. Seeing that ultrasound done the world of good for my mentality.
It definitely feels more real being pregnant when the baby starts to move around! Congratulations!
