18 weeks pregnant


How far along?  18 weeks

Stretch marks: no, I’m still using my creams.

Maternity clothes: I haven’t bought any maternity clothes but I did buy a jumper and a few tops 2 sizes bigger to what I usually wear, so hopefully I’ll still fit into them in the next few weeks.

Sleep: it has been absolutely awful, 3 days in a row I have been up at 6am with a sore hip and shoulder. This sleeping on your left side isn’t working for me, I have started to sleep with a pillow under my shoulder and hip so hopefully that will help.

Best moment of the week: going to see my midwife for a check-up and knowing that all is good with baby bean.

Miss anything: MacDonald’s milkshakes

Movement: tones this baby is a busy bee and constantly moving, bean did such a strong kick that it made me jump

Anything making me sick: nothing

Gender: unknown

Labour signs:  none

Symptoms: sore boobs, breathlessness, sore lower back and dizziness. I was in subway at the weekend and almost fainted.

Cravings: chewy sweets and fruit mainly peaches

Belly button in or out: in however it used to be really deep, where you couldn’t see the bottom of it. Now you can see its gradually popping out and you can see the bottom.

Mood: over the moon.
