How big is baby? I have a couple of apps on my phone - their suggestions vary including lentil, grain of rice, pomegranate seed and sweet pea. I'm going with pomegranate seed seeing as I've been drinking pomegranate juice religiously for weeks.
Total weight gain/loss? I was exactly 56.6kg again this morning so no change this week. That puts me at a 1.9kg loss so far.
Waist? I haven't measured it this week but my weight hasn't changed and my clothes feel the same so I'm guessing nothing.
Stretchmarks? Not for a long time yet I hope! Although I do have some on my hips from when puberty hit me.
Maternity clothes? Not for a while yet.
Sleep? I've slept a little better this week although we had a couple of late nights at the weekend and no substantial lie ins so I could really do with a bit of extra sleep!
Best moment this week? Starting my new (old) job... although it's been a little awkward as more than one person has asked me if I'm thinking about having kids any time soon. A few weeks ago that might have upset me a little, now I'm just sat excitedly thinking "If only you knew"!
Movement? Nothing yet, way too early.
Food cravings? Nothing - I still don't really have much appetite at all.
Food aversions? Nothing.
Gender? No idea and I don't think we're going to find out... but that could change.
Labour signs? Definitely not.
Pregnancy symptoms? I got SO excited at the weekend as I had sore boobs - my first proper pregnancy symptoms. I text my pregnant sister-in-law and my best friend, they mostly just seemed confused that I was so excited about the discomfort haha! I've had a lot of sharp pains on my right hand side combined with some diarrhoea. Needless to say I panicked and jumped straight to ectopic pregnancy - more on that later. I'm also having some shortness of breath when just walking around but that's most likely just the progesterone as I've had it for the last couple of weeks.
Belly button in or out? In.
What I miss? Not having to plan my daily schedule around pessaries and tablets - counting down to 12 weeks when I can stop them!
What I am looking forward to? I have my early scan on Tuesday next week, only 5 more sleeps!!
Upcoming appointments/scans? See above.
Weekly wisdom? Always seek advice. I rang 111 about my right sided pains and diarrhoea last night and the woman immediately asked me to get to the Urgent Care Centre. The doctor there seemed less concerned - my temperature, pulse and urine were all fine. He examined me and said that the pain was too far over to be pregnancy related and that it was probably just a tummy bug. All day I'd thought it was trapped wind and this was probably right. However, it gave me the peace of mind to get a good night's sleep and I was told repeatedly that I'd done the right thing and to see my GP today if there'd been no improvement - fortunately there has!
Milestones? First proper pregnancy symptom - sore boobs!
Bump picture:
I don't think there's been any change - this is just a different angle (again). It's really hard getting the same angle every week without taking a million pictures! You can really see the lovely stretchmarks on my hips, hopefully pregnancy doesn't add any more.
