03-7-2011 - Week 5 - Just For Me

My mood while writing this blog: Fine

I`m going to try and keep a week by week update for myself to see how this pregnancy progresses compared to my last one. Already its different - I had terrible trapped wind & severe heartburn early on last time, but this time the only real difference is my bb's are constantly tender & my nipples are sore. I have no actual nausea but have an upset stomach first thing of a morning - i`d rather this than vomitting which I pretty much spent the whole of my first pregnancy doing, mainly of a night time when I settled in bed...its still early days for this though so we will see :o}

I have booked my first doctors appointment for Thursday 14th July when I will be 6wks & 4days. I hope to actually progress through the early weeks by doctors appointments this pregnancy as last time I ended up in the womens hospital from 5wks with bleeding, then had to return after 6wks to see if the baby had a heartbeat. It was quite stressful to go through so I have my fingers crossed that doesnt happen this time round.

We still havent told anyone i`m pregnant which is making it seem less real. I actually have to remind myself that i`m pregnant due to no major symptoms & no one knowing. I really want to tell my mum but i`m trying to find the right time. I know she will be delighted at the thought of another granchild, but she will also be saddened by the fact that my dad isnt here to share our good news...I also feel that way, sad that he isnt here to share it all with us & guilty that life is carrying on without him...I guess thats all part of the grieving process though isnt it.

Anyways, FX for another week of healthy pregnancy to me & all those carrying their precious cargos, & good luck to those trying & in the 2ww. xxx
