8 Weeks Today

I love the fact that I am now eight weeks today and can now say I am in my ninth week of pregnancy. Seems much more adviced than 6 weeks although alot more sick!


I went to the doctors yesterday for a check up and a chat. It was a last minute appointment so I saw a different doctor. He told me to hang on in there, to keep going with the anti - sickness tablets and to eat and drink as much as I can. He also was asking about the scan to see if it may be a multiple birth. The second doctor to mention this. I think its cos the sickness was so bad so soon. I'd love to have twins but one healthy baby would be a blessing.


The doctor has signed me off work for another week and I completed my free prescription form. I felt like the pressure was off once I had a work exemption as I found it difficult enough to get dressed and drive myself to the doctors - feeling queasy all the way- so I wasnt sure how I would be able to get to work never mind actually do work. Oh I also handed in my stool sample which they are testing for gastroenteritis and the results from my wee were all fine so no urine probs.


A couple of things I have noticed about myself are:

- The thought of a cup of tea is disgusting. A cup of cold milk instead eases my heartburn.
- I have got hairier! I dont seem to notice my body hair much but had to have a shave today as it seemed to have grown over night.
- My sense of smell is strong and I hate anything that doesnt smell less than nice.
- My diarrhoea has turned into slight constipation.
- I still have a spare tyre around my tummy although Im convinced that my boobies have grown - just a little bit!
- The shower makes me feel really sick and I have to be quick. Today I felt stronger so treated myself to a bath instead.
