19 Weeks Pregnancy Update ¦ Baby Number2 ¦

Welcome back to baby bump update for my 19th week pregnant. I am getting ever more excited that in just under 2 weeks we will be finding out what this little bundle that kicks me in the night is. We didn't find out with Tyler as I mentioned in my last video, which was just as exciting. But this time around the prospect of knowing brings a new level of excitement for the bundle of joy that you carry.

So how has week 19 been for me...

How far along: As stated above this is the 19 week update so I'm now 20 weeks while writing this blog. As I prefer to do my blogs slightly behind so I can give you my whole thoughts on the previous week of pregnancy and how I have felt.

Maternity Clothes: This will be the last time I answer this question in my blogs, because for myself maternity clothes are a definite! I do fit a few of my old baggy or stretchy tops, but bottoms are the same as last week ... definitely maternity!

Stretch marks: As of yet, no new ones. Nearly everyone gets stretch marks during pregnancy, whether it be at the start, middle or end. And believe it of not, people even get them when not pregnant, so I'm over the hype of "oh no a stretch mark!!!"  lets face it their just another one of those little imperfections that crop up. Its not the end of the world!

Best moment of the week: Hearing the babies heart beat again. I wasn't meant to have any more appointments until 28 weeks, however I had been rather unwell, and tired all week so the midwife suggested I pop in for bloods and a check up. As when pregnant with Tyler I did become anemic. Hearing the heart beat was so funny as my appointment was around the time the baby is normally at it's most active in the day. So every time we heard it for a few seconds the baby would kick the monitor, had all of us including the midwife chuckling.

Cravings: My mom so kindly the other day, mentioned to me on skype that she going to go have a nice brew and some homemade Jam Roly Poly, with fresh cream ...... My jaw dropped! Not only is my moms homemade jam roly poly the best I have ever had! But the words fresh cream .... Craving alert!
So thanks mom ... shall be waiting for the delivery of jam roly poly any day!

Babies movements: Definitely getting stronger! They are also very regular now, they tend to be when I wake up, lunch time and then all evening.

Has your partner felt the baby move? Sadly still not yet but I'm sure he will in time.

Anything extra to add: Like I said early in the blog, I have had a pretty rough week, heart burn to no end, restless legs have now joined the party along with dizziness and extreme fatigue. Hoping the bloods I had done will have some answers... Plus the fact I have to remind myself this isn't my first pregnancy and I now have a toddler who wants to run around, play and needs my attention too. So I think that added in has left me a little low on energy ... along with my stubborn side that doesn't like sitting down all day doing nothing!! But I will begin to listen to my partner and try to resist cutting the lawns and doing a mad spring clean each week!!

Hope you enjoyed this update guys, comment below letting me know how your getting on with your pregnancy or if you have any questions and be sure to look out for my vlog update on youtube!
