20 Weeks - Pregnancy Update
How Far: 20 weeks
Gender: We found out last week at our second scan, it's a...
Sleep: Apart from one terrible week of sleep due to Aella wanting to be up in the earlier hours! I have actually been getting a little more sleep, despite struggling with pain in my hips and back when I lay down. I think i'm going to get a maternity pillow, they just take up so much space in bed!
Cravings: The wine cravings have finally gone but Juicy boiled sweets are still on the list.
Symptoms: The weird dreams I was having aren't so regular but they are very strange when I do have them. Over the last couple of weeks I have had a really fuzzy head, I can't concentrate if there is to much noise and I keep forgetting things.
Movements: I have started feeling proper kicks, no more bubbly feelings. baby seems to go crazy just from the smell of food and after Ice lollies.
Stretchmarks: Still no new ones but I do need to get back into routine with moisturising, I went to my mums last week and completely forgot to take moisturiser and now I'm not in the habit of doing it.
Moments -
- Best: There has been a number of best moments the last 2 weeks but my favourite moment was 2 days ago. Aella climbed up onto me, laid her head on my tummy to speak to bump, she told me she could hear baby, she gave the bump a bug cuddle and fell asleep!
- Worst: There hasn't been any bad moments in the last couple weeks, we have just all been a little poorly.
I am missing: Camembert! I would love to have some but I have read whilst pregnant you can't eat it, yet I have also read as long as is piping hot when baked, you can eat it. So I figured it's best not to eat it.
I am looking forward to: Seeing bump grow and feeling more kicks.
