rkoldThis might be TMI for some people but so it goes...
Well not quite, if I eat after 8 pm I am violently ill around 11 or midnight puking up whatever it was I ate in 3 goes. It's most unpleasant. I've now been told I'm on the bad end of morning sickness so I'm not going crazy when I think to myself how do people manage to have more than 1 kid when they're sick like this.
Yesterday I had another doctor's appointment, for those curious, I am now a few days into week 13 which means I am almost out of the first trimester already. Week 14 is the official start of month 4 and the second trimester. Everyone says the second trimester is the best part of being pregnant. You have more energy, you're not ill all the time, and you stop worrying about miscarriages and you're not big as a whale yet like the third trimester. I have to say new parents are really lucky and can really see so much more of their babies now! I got a special more detailed ultrasound and wow could I really see my baby! And it actually sort of.. looked like a baby and not some sort of strange alien life form. It has 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 feet with toes and 2 hands with fingers. I think I saw a spine, definitely saw the heart and maybe saw two ears! It's about 2 1/4 inches from crown to rump now. It no longer looks like two blobs like before. It's also pretty darn active and was having fun doing somersaults and bouncing around in my belly.
In other news, I've lost 4 pounds in the last 4 weeks despite the fact I can't really fit in my pre-pregnancy pants or bras. My blood pressure is still low, 100 over 70. I've also finally found a toothpaste I can use, and I swear it smells just like BPAL Tokyo Stomp.
