12 weeks tomorrow
If I have my dates right that is. And tomorrow, we should know for sure - the first scan will be happening at 3.20pm
I don't know whether I'm more excited about seeing the little life developing inside me, or terrified they won't find anything and I'll be told to stop malingering and making up pregnancy symptoms and go away...
I am delighted to be able to tell you that although the nausea seems to be easing off (which may be partly because I have got into the habit of eating roughly every 2 hours no matter what) I can now add sore and occasionally bleeding gums to my list of 'things wot are broken/wrong'. Also, nipples so tender that turning over in bed makes me whimper, tiredness that ambushes me instead of coming on slowly, a tendency to burst into tears for no sodding reason whatsoever and trapped wind which, when it becomes untrapped, suddenly makes the stomach cramps seem like a small price to pay compared with the choking and gagging of your poor semi-conscious spouse.
Oh, and a far more sensitive sense of taste and smell. I had an orange calippo earlier after craving fruity, icy things and found it absolutely revolting towards the end. Frozen, undiluted orange squash. I'm having to dilute fruit juice to drink it, otherwise it's too strong.
As unpleasant as it all is, I'm hoping all this adds up to a healthy little bean growing away in there and ignoring the flailing and ranting of the host organism...
