I can’t believe it – I’m sure my belly is looking bigger already – but I think most of it is caused by bowel distension and water retention. I was rather taken aback today when the mother-in-law of the people buying our house asked “when are you due?”. I really thought it wasn’t noticeable! Slight panic in case it’s twins now – but more likely I’m just getting too fat too quickly or maybe she just recognised the look of nausea on my face!<\/p>\n
Going to see the doctor on Monday to discuss transferring my antenatal care to Tiverton Hospital. I want to have my booking in appointment and first scan there if possible rather than fragment my antenatal care.<\/p>\n
In the meantime we’re still trying to keep things quiet- although it’s becoming increasingly difficult. We’re going to Reading this weekend and Devon the weekend after. I am hoping no-one will notice the exhaustion, constant sickness, endless trips to the toilet and how “fat” I’m looking. We’ve decided to wait until Joe’s birthday to announce the pregnancy – seems like a good time to do it.
\nBetween now and then, I’m still trying not to get too excited or anything because of the miscarriage last year. However, I do feel very pregnant this time around (with just about every symptom possible) which I’m taking to be a good sign that the baby’s doing OK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
