Booking In

Monday 23rd April
Loppy 9+3


Had my booking in appointment with the midwife, which, when looking back was pretty boringly normal - yay!


She was a nice lady, very practical, just there to tick the boxes and complete the forms really.  She wasn’t particularly sympathetic when I told her about Sparty but that hasn’t bothered me too much really (just a slight niggle of annoyance - I don’t want him to be forgotten in this new journey)
Bloods (owchy) and urine taken and checked and now have my green book which feels really nice and familiar.  Hopefully I’ll get to see all of the pages filled out this time.


Other things to report is that I've hit a new level of tiredness now - its definitely been worse this time round, sometimes I can barely function past about 5pm - I start to feel quite ill.  Its annoying because it means that I’m not spending that much time with Tom as i’d like, and as we’re both really quite busy with work as well, its just not conducive to seeing each other and spending time with one another.  
My nausea is beginning to get worse, still not in the same league as before, and i’ve only been sick a couple of times, but its there in the background and is worse when i’m tired.


I’ve also had a couple more nosebleeds - I know its normal but really is an inconvenience when I'm on the train!


I’ve also been wondering and thinking more and more about when we’ll have the all clear.  We’re not sure if they’ll be able to see enough at 14  weeks to give us the all clear, but I really hope that they might be able to (please god!) Its going to be amazing to be just in a normal pregnancy and knowing that as far as they can tell, everything is ok.


Roll on 12 weeks please....!
