Total weight gain: 10lbs so far
Maternity clothes: Nothing new.Although I've not really been out so have been living in PJs at home (they're just so comfy!) and if we have to go somewhere I'll throw on waterfall cardigans over a cami, maternity trousers and ballet flats. I'm hoping that some of my skater dresses might still fit for when it's starting to get warmer.
Sleep: I've gone back to being absolutely exhausted again - I had 11 hours sleep last night and could still have a nap this afternoon!
Movement: Squishy's kicks are starting to get quite strong. I have been able to see them from outside my bump for a couple of days now - it is amazing!
Food cravings: Last time I said I'd completely gone off fruit and veg - but now I want salad quite alot. I don't know if that is because of the weather getting warmer or if I'm just craving the nutrients, but I've had some really nice salads this past week.
Gender: No idea!
Labour signs: I've been feeling my bump go from quite soft to really hard every couple of days for about 30 minutes or so - I read this might be the start of Braxton Hicks, but I'll speak to my midwife at my next appointment.
Symptoms: So I have had my Sciatica confirmed by the doctor, although there isn't alot I can do other than some simple stretches and taking paracetamol. Not long left at work now so I'm hoping that once I finish and am able to relax more the pains won't be so hard to deal with. Also my heartburn got even worse (I didn't think it was possible) and is now so bad that I've had chest pains a few times and the past couple of days I've been actually throwing up with it. My doctor recommended Gaviscon so I'm going to see how I get on with that.
What I'm looking forward to: Feeling Squishy get stronger and looking forward to maternity leave when I can start relaxing and preparing for our little arrival.
I have been reading about Squishy's progress each week here so go and have a look.
