Week 9

8+2

I feel horrible. Still not being sick but just feel pants all the time. The evening are the worst. I get to about 4pm and the nausea REALLY hits me and I'm incapable of doing anything. Simon's having to sort out tea, bath Noah etc. etc. It's a struggle to stay awake until even 8pm. Working three days this week has nearly finished me off!! Lightweight.

Week 8

7+1

All much the same so far this week. Except the dry heaving has started. Certain, actually MOST, smells are affecting me badly and I spend most of the day doing 'sick frog' impressions, heaving with all my might and no reward into the loo! Have had nothing come up yet though apart from a bit of tasty stomach acid (which I can taste constantly!). I feel most sick when hungry, but even worse just after eating.

I'm not as tired as I was although sleep still comes easily when I take a few minutes to put my feet up and shut my eyes while Noah naps. Think I've just got into the habit now!!

The MW appointment is booked for a fortnight's time. I might just have to take another test before then just to check I really am pregnant again! I'm still not convinced!

Week 7

6+1

The quesiness has started this week. It's there in the background all day but quite subtle most of the time. It gets worse when I get particularly hungry but is even worse after I eat (which I have to do little and often!). A few times a day the nausea surges and I have to sit down with my head in my hands for 15 minutes or so until it passes, telling myself not to be sick!! The retching hasn't started yet but I don't think it'll be long. Smells are really starting to turn my stomach.

I'm still tired but managing to nap for about an hour each day. I can't seem to sleep at night though. It takes me ages to drop off and then I toss and turn and wake all night. I'm not even finding that I'm needing the loo so much so it's not that. I mean, when I wake I need the loo so get up but it's not being desperate that's waking me! I still have a dodgy tummy. Each time I need to go my tummy grumbles and I feel a bit shaky afterwards but I'm keeping my fluids topped up so know I'm ok!

Apart from that I just have a few lovely spots!!

Week 6

5wks 1 day

Still such early days. Still doesn't feel like it's actually real. Still don't have a smidgen of a symptom (morning sickness, sore boobs etc) and I'm beginning to think the tiredness is just because I'm lazy! The only day I did feel sick was the day Simon was ill - but who wouldn't feel sick listening to and smelling somebody else feel sick all night!!

I feel totally different with this pregnancy than I did with Noah. I think with Noah I allowed myself to get excited as I though 'well, I've miscarried once, surely it won't happen again this time'. Stupid I know, but luckily there was no need to worry. This time I'm thinking the other way round - 'I had such a perfect, healthy pregnancy with Noah, surely it's about time I had a turn at something going wrong again'. Such a negative attitude!!

I just know I'm not going to believe I'm actually pregnant until I've had my 12wk scan and know the baby is ok. I just feel sooo normal! I know I shouldn't complain but I almost feel like somebody was tampering with all the digital ClearBlue pregnancy tests in the factory so they'd all come up with 'Pregnant' for a laugh!!

I don't feel worried though. Just nothingy!
