(7 weeks pregnant)? - Three years, one stone then home

A hop back in time to ?

Sunday, June 3, 2012

Oh wow, the past three weeks have been a nightmare of tiredness and nausea. No amount of sleep or ginger ale seem able to relieve either. I found the first three months of my last pregnancy extremely hard-going, much tougher than the following six months, and it seems that this one is set to be the same. I can?t get my brain or body going and am counting down the days?until the rock-star feeling of the second trimester. Please let me have that rock-star feeling again! Minus the cankles and the massive boobs would be nice though.

I find myself looking back to my first pregnancy quite a lot but my main memories of the initial three months are trying to make a quick but discreet dash to the loo to throw up every ten minutes. After narrowly missing my boss? shoes last week, I think it?s fair to say that discretion has gone out of the window already ? ?Rachel, do you have something to tell me?? Some things are just so hard to hide, aren?t they?

I nervously made my way to see my gynecologist for the first scan on Tuesday. Even after a positive pregnancy test, I found myself still unwilling to believe the result without his confirmation. But, at 6 weeks and 2 days, I saw my little 3.5mm baby and it?s ever so tiny heartbeat on the screen in front of me. It was an absolutely joyous moment and now it?s finally starting to sink in that, all things going well, we?re going to be a family of four in 2013.

Now I just need to find an extra boost of energy to see me through until the morning sickness and tiredness abates. It?s CK that I feel most sorry for as I find myself having to sit down more often rather than playing with him. But we?ve been out for longer walks which he seems to like ? I?m finding that walking at a slow but steady pace and filling my lungs with fresh, Swiss air is doing me the world of good and keeping CK entertained without me having to exert too much energy. Shame the weather has made a turn for the worse this week.

My next scan is a mere two and a half weeks away. I find it very reassuring to have them so frequently. At any point in time, I?m four weeks away at the most from knowing that something is wrong. Maybe the Swiss are a little cautious compared to the Brits but when it comes to the health of my unborn child, I?m so thankful for it. Plus, I get to build up quite a gallery even before the little one is born.

So now I must bid you farewell so I can rush off and down another glass of ginger ale and take a nap. Oh what an exciting life I lead ? but I wouldn?t have it any other way.
