Hi, guys. Please excuse the state of my house and also myself, but I had a minute. Caleb
just went down for a nap, that's my youngest, and I was like, "I need to film a video while
I'm still five weeks pregnant or else it's just going to go." I put on a really bright
lipstick and I'm just hoping that I look okay. I'm only five weeks pregnant, so it's really,
really early days, but I am and it is going to be our third baby. We've got two boys already.
The gap between our two that we have already is nearly three years, and the gap between
this one and my youngest will also be nearly three years as well. So we sort of planned
it that way. When one child got to two years old, we started trying and we had another
one, so it's all going to plan. We've always said three babies. I actually said four, my
husband said two, so we compromised with three. This is going to be my last ever pregnancy.
So yeah, I'm just thrilled, thrilled, thrilled, thrilled.
This is the test, and that line is really, really strong. That line there that's going
up and down is the one that sort of comes up with your hormone that means you're pregnant.
These tests are so good, I actually found out that I was pregnant the day before my
missed period. I actually found out on Christmas Day, which was really, really nice. I had
been feeling a bit gross, I had had a few spots. I sort of didn't think I was pregnant
because I'd had a bit of spotting, but it must have been implantation bleeding. But
anyway, I did a test anyway and it came up straight away that I was pregnant.
Anyway, I'm already waffling and I don't mean to be. I think that these pregnancy updates
are going to be a little wit waffly, because I'm not really planning exactly what I'm going
to say. I'm just going to say how I'm feeling, any symptoms, any cravings, any new products
that I'm using or trying. So, yes. I'm five weeks pregnant, and I've got a really
good app on my phone. It is the Baby Center app. Log in and use that app. At the moment,
at five weeks, that my baby is three millimeters long and it is the size of sesame seed. If
it's so small, I don't know why I already feel so bloated. That's the only real feeling
I've got at the moment. I just feel a bit bloated. And you know when you try and suck
in your stomach, it's just a little bit harder to suck in than normal. I feel like my womb
is already growing, and because I've done this twice before I don't know if my body's
like, "Oh, that's what we do, get fat." So I'm just feeling a bit like "...".
Yeah, apparently our baby at the moment looks like a tadpole. Nice. All of its heart and
organs and everything all already starting to form. This first twelve weeks are the really
important time, when all the organs and everything like that is forming. So, of course, I'm being
really careful with what I eat. I'm not drinking alcohol at all. With both of my pregnancies
with my boys I didn't drink at all until the five-month mark. Then after five months I
sort of fancied a little bit of red wine here or there. Because when I get pregnant, I start
to go off of wine, and that's when you know that you are pregnant because I normally love
a glass of wine and at the moment, I just feel like, "Oh, no. I really don't fancy that."
New thing that I'm doing is I'm taking a pregnancy supplement. It is the ones that I took with
both of my boys. It's the Vitabiotics Pregnacare Plus Omega-3 supplements. I think this was
15 pounds. There is a cheaper one that you can get which was like 4 or 5 pounds, but
this one said that it was greater care during pregnancy with brain and eye development.
When I read that next to the normal one I was like, "You can't not choose the more expensive
one." So I'm taking that and when I was trying to
conceive, my husband and I were taking the Vitabiotics Pregnacare Supplements for Him
and Her. You each take a tablet everyday, which is supposed to give you folic acid and
everything you need while you're trying to conceive. And obviously, this has folic acid
in it, which is the most important thing to take during pregnancy. I started taking it
about four or five months ago, because you should take even just when you're trying.
So I've been taking that. It is really, really early days. I'm not telling
anyone anything yet. I'm not looking really any different or anything yet. Boobs have
definitely grown and they're already quite sore. But the only other side effects that
I've had from this pregnancy at this early stage is the bloating. I've also had a few
headaches, which I've been taking paracetamol for. You can take paracetamol, but they don't
recommend you take ibuprofen and things like that.
Just been tired. I've just been feeling a little bit more tired that usual. When I found
out I was pregnant, the next we actually went to Disneyland Paris with the kids. So that
was really exhausting. It was tiring in itself, but I think it was really tiring as well because
I was pregnant as well. I think that's it for this week. That's just
all the new stuff that I'm using. Obviously we're not telling anyone yet. We're not telling
the boys yet. We're going to wait until the 12-week scan. Document this pregnancy through
weekly vlogs because I really enjoy watching other people's pregnancy weekly vlogs and
how they're feeling and what they're trying, what they're eating and things like that.
If you're pregnant at a similar sort of time to me then this will be perfect for you to
watch and you can follow me through this journey of our third baby, birth story, everything
is coming. So, yes. Subscribe if you want to see more pregnancy-related videos.

boy which, let's face it, it probably is going to be. Anyway, thank you so much for watching.
I'm just waffling. And I will see you very soon. Thank you. Bye.
