I'm back with my 14 week update so if you can hear anything in the background Frazier's
just playing on a game while I film this. There's Frazier. Jack's actually turned 15
weeks but I'm going to talk about the past week. And I'm also going to show you what
I've got in my Emma's Diary Pack because I finally went and got it from Boots.
I actually also wanted to say a little bit of an apology about my last video. My 13th
week update. I was so emotional and I was so hormonal that day and I did the video and
I was literally like, "I don't know if I want to post it. I don't think I should." Then
I thought, "No, that's what my hormones did to me that day." They make you crazy don't
they? I was like, "That's how I felt that week. I'm going to put it up." I must way
I'm in a much better mood now. Feeling a bit better about my body so I think I will show
my bump at the end of this video. The baby now is the size of a pear or roughly
about 4" long so it's really really starting to grow now and it can now sense light. If
I was to shine a torch on my tummy it would kind of try and get away from the light so
it's eyes are starting to sense light and dark and stuff, which is really cool.
In terms of symptoms this week I've just been feeling better and better really. Lots more
energy. Again, feeling brighter, feeling clearer, feeling less sluggish, feeling less like blah.
I think that's probably why the second trimester is many women's favorite trimester because
the first one is quite hard in terms of like symptoms and you feel sick. The second one
you're not too big that it's hard to move around and you start to get your energy back
and feel better so this is definitely my favorite trimester and I'm feeling better already and
I've noticed my nails are starting to break less. They're a lot stronger. Hair, I'm losing
less of it so my hair is feeling thicker, which is always nice in pregnancy. My skin
also has been really good. No breakouts or anything like so in terms of those pregnancy
hormones, that is all really really nice. One symptom that is new that I haven't had
this far in this pregnancy but I have had in previous pregnancies is like pins and needles
in my hands when I sleep. When I sleep at night actually I hold the duvet like that.
I kind of sleep like this. Anyway, in the night my hands are now going like pins and
needles and like numb. They go all funny and in the night I have to wake up and move around
and things. I don't know if it's just the extra blood that's pumping through my body.
I don't actually ... I should probably look up what it is. That is something I really
suffered with at the end of both pregnancies. I also feel a little bit of pain when I sneeze
still in my stomach and a few pulls on either side of my stomach but other than that symptoms
have been really good this week. Now I'm going to show you what I got in my
Emma's Diary Pack. You basically fill out a card in the Emma's Diary then you take it
to Boots or Argos and they give you a pack of free samples. There's three different packs
that you can get but this was the first pack. It's the Bump to Baby pack and it is one that
you get when you have a baby and I think, yeah, there's postpartum stuff in that.
There was a sample of Metanium nappy rash cream. There's a big pack of newborn Pampers,
nappies. Sample of Fairy Non Bio liquid tab, sample of Fairy Softener. Want to sit on my
lap? There's a sample of cocoa butter oil for stretch marks.
In my past pregnancies I actually used the Bio oil on my bump. I did actually get a few
stretch marks but not until I was overdue so right at the end. I will definitely give
this a go. And a sample of Lansinoh nursing pads. I did definitely use nursing pads in
my previous pregnancies when I had the boys. I think I bought like the Boots own so I'll
give these a go and see if they're any better. And a lot of coupons like 20% off at the White
Company, 25 pounds off at Sainsbury's, a couple for Metanium products as well.
Definitely worth going to get. There's lots of little samples in there. Some things that
I definitely will already use because it's what I've used in the past like Pampers and
Fairy. But a few new things to try as well so that's cool.
I think that's it for this weeks' update. I really hope you liked it. Please like, comment,
and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you very soon. Bye. Say
bye bye.
Bye.
