Welcome back to my second pregnancy update, with baby number two. Some of the questions for this blog will come with basic answers if they are the same as my 16 week update and I may add new questions as the weeks go on, just to keep things interesting!
How far along? I am 18 weeks this Saturday (10th May) So hopefully fingers crossed this blog is posted no later than Sunday!
Maternity Clothes? Definitely, from now on forth this question is going to be a simple yes I think, I'm hoping their may be some none maternity close I will be able to still fit and buy but leggings, jeans etc are all definitely maternity.
Stretch Marks? Luckily at the moment I think I still only have my old ones, my partner was the best and got me some oils to start using. I was using a cream by mum & me which I will be reviewing soon along with the Nspa mum to be nourishing stretch mark cream. I'm hoping I can keep them at bay.
Sleep or No sleep? I did go through a bit of a faze last week, of sitting up till twelve am, I'm not sure why, I just didn't seem to be feeling tired, or like my brain could shut off. I am still managing to only get up once a night, although I fear very soon that will increase to twice a night!! As they say its your bodies way of preparing for the new arrival.
Best moments of the week? Well my energy is still at an all time high! Which is making me feel great all the time. Along with Tyler almost going 2 weeks accident free at bed time, couldn't be any more proud of how quickly he has learnt how to use the potty in the night. With the night time potty training has come Tyler wanting to use the big toilet in the day time, So we have brought a toilet training seat, and hes had me going up and down stairs all day long to use it!! at least that's one way to keep fit during pregnancy
Missing anything I can't have? I can't say I am really. Nothing really strikes me that I feel I need, other than a dippy egg!
Cravings? A few new cravings this week, I am still feeling weak at the knees over chocolate, however I have managed to swap those cravings for sugar, for strawberries! Oh eggs, I am really loving eggs, scrambled, hard boiled, fried or an omelette.
Babies movements? I can definitely confirm that it is the baby I have felt moving, the kicks are getting stronger every night. I normally feel the baby, straight away in the morning, around lunch time and when I'm sat with my partner in the evenings along with when we go to bed.
Has your partner felt the baby? Not yet.
Anything extra to add? I have been suffering heart burn and indigestion from the very start basically and it has been playing up since Wednesday again, and not just in the evenings but all day long! It actually made me feel quite sick the other day, which wasn't pleasant as Tyler kept wanting to use the big toilet, I didn't want to stop him as he had started asking, it wasn't something we had to prompt, but the joy on his face from using the big boy toilet was enough to make not sitting under a duvet on the sofa more than worth it!
