Before getting pregnant I wasn't sure if I would want an ultrasound to check for a heartbeat around 6-7 weeks. Even scheduling it after finding out I was pregnant, I questioned if I should really do this (if the news is bad you can't do anything, it just tells you earlier or gives you reason to breathe easier). Well, after this past week I'm very glad we scheduled the ultrasound. I am having nightmares every night about miscarriages. This is crazy and really messing with my emotions. I don't really know how to feel right now. It doesn't help that this still hasn't sunk in- I don't feel pregnant.
How many weeks: 6 (7/29/14)
Size of baby: 1/4 inch, Lentil
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm not tracking this very well because I haven't put down a starting weight at the midwife center and I haven't been paying attention. I'm down but not sure how much.
Maternity Clothes: Definitely not yet
Sleep: I'm still tired but again I get up pretty early in the morning for work right now.
What I miss: Beer, kind of. Honestly it hasn't been a big deal.
Cravings: None.
Aversions: I wouldn't say I have definite aversions but sometimes I just am not hungry or something doesn't sound good to me. I made lasagna and thought it tasted really bland. (Dave said it wasn't bland.)
Symptoms: Mostly just crampiness. This doesn't really feel like a symptom, it feels more like PMS.
Best moment this week: My brother Alex was in for the weekend and it was nice to spend some time with him, even though it was pretty laid back and lazy.
Looking forward to: August 1st and my first ultrasound (will be 6 and a half weeks)
Same this time: Surprisingly I just don't feel pregnant and it's surreal. I thought after the first baby this would change. Maybe it will after the ultrasound. Also I looked at my 6 week post from last time and I said that a burger tasted bland. So I guess my taste buds must be the same.
Different from last time: I definitely have fewer symptoms. Last time I was feeling light headed by this point and more emotional, along with other things.
Welcome to my life. It's crazy, and busy, but that's really the way I like life to be.
I had to go back and check my post. I was lightheaded. I love reading these.
ReplyDeleteHaha I should start re-reading yours too.
DeleteIt's fun to go back. I forget everything it seems. Or remember some stuff but forget what week
