TELLING THE PARENTS - 10 WEEKS, 2 DAYS

Unfortunately this video was too long and I had to split it into two. I hope it flows okay.





At the meal we did a quick round of interviews.

DODGY - 9 WEEKS, 4 DAYS

Been feeling rather dodgy, pretty much all day every day. Obviously there are times when I feel okay but mostly I feel, tired, hungry and sick. It's exhausting.

I have put on weight already and I am looking rather round around my mid section. I know I have been eating way too much but I am hoping that once I feel better, that will all settle down.

I was originally thinking that I don't care how big I get but on second thoughts I would like to try and keep it to normal levels, plus I would like to have a massive baby bump and nothing else.

Tried to call the midwife yesterday to book a checking in appointment but there was no answer and no answering machine. It is rubbish around here for maternity care.

Had to tell Debs yesterday as she came over for a visit and asked how the baby making was going. I have decided not to lie about the pregnancy as I don't like the idea of it. So I told her the truth. She was really happy which was nice.

Really want to tell my family but we have that thing of who gets told first. Rob obviously wants his Mum to know first and I would ideally like to tell them both together but I can't see how we can do that by Monday. The reason it has to be done by Monday is that I am going to tell all my Mummy friends. I know it is still early days but they will all be together and it just seems like an opportune moment.

Pelvis hasn't been too bad the last couple of weeks, so fingers crossed it stays that way for a while. I do have yoga, line dancing and 2 dances this week so by Monday I might not be able to walk.

MORNING SICKNESS - 9 WEEKS

Not sure I did have morning sickness recently. I felt very sick for a long time but it did pass and I haven't been too bad recently. If I get really hungry and tired, then I do feel rough so I need to just keep eating regularly. I do think I had a stomach bug though as Rob was ill shortly after I was feeling better.

Been eating loads and loads of rubbish but when I feel better it will be easier to eat well. I'm not too worried about it for now. I have only put on 1 pound so far and Mum asked today if I had lost weight! Cool, the longer she doesn't notice, the better.

Need to tell the parents before 27th October as I will be telling my Mummy friends then as this seems to be the only date we can all get together before Christmas! I know it's before I am 12 weeks, but if anything was to happen, I would want to talk to them about it anyway. Just need to think of a way to tell the parents now and hopefully get them together to do it.

Going to ring the midwife next week and sort out an appointment as I know how busy they can be.
