... guys, and welcome back to another pregnancy update. I'm at the very end of my eighth week
of pregnancy, so I thought I would talk to you about my symptoms, how I've been feeling,
how baby's developing and all of that kind of stuff.
And so the baby is now two centimeters long, which still seems so tiny, but it is growing
a millimeter per day now. So it is really starting to grow really fast. All of its organs,
nerves, muscles, everything is now functioning, which seems crazy in a person that is that
small. But that's what's happening now. It's now got hands, and it's got little wrists
that work. Same goes for feet, and its toes are no longer webbed. So it's really starting
to become a person. It's lost its little tail, and its heart is beating really, really fast,
160 beats per minute. So that again is just craziness. Baby is developing along well.
This week, to be honest, I have just been so tired like, if you feel like, you really
know... has been like my main symptom this week, just feeling really tired, and I've
fallen asleep on the sofa a couple of times, which is something I never do. You know when
you're so tired, you just can't fight it? You're just a like, just literally dying.
Yesterday it was Sunday, so my husband was around, and I just felt like I just laid around,
because I knew I had the help, and I was just like, oh. So I have been really tired, because
I'm still running around after a five year old and a two year old, and I'm still working
and doing everything. So it has been really tiring.
Definitely still weeing more, needing to go to the loo all the time. Yeah, I'm still feeling
a little bit bloated. I definitely feel like, I don't know if it's because it's my third
pregnancy, but I feel like a have a little bulge already, which is crazy considering
this person is two centimeters, but obviously my uterus has doubled in size. So that could
explain that, and obviously my body is probably just like, "Oh, I remember what we do." Bam,
a make space for it kind of thing. Yeah, I've been feeling a little bit nauseous.
Every now and then I'm just like, "Oh I feel a bit sick." So what's been helping me with
that this week has been definitely little sips of ginger ale. That's been really good,
little sips of ginger ale. People recommend ginger biscuits as well. They're supposed
to be good. I haven't actually had them, just ginger ale so far out, or even like a little
bit of sprite. Salt and vinegar crisps has been really good to help with the sick feeling.
Some really nice symptoms I've had this week are constipation. Can't believe I just said
that on the internet, but this is real life, and that is what's happening this week of
pregnancy. It is so gross. So far, I feel like I've been so lucky in
this pregnancy. I haven't actually been physically sick. I haven't felt that sick. It's all been
going really, really well so far, and I feel a lot like I did with both of my boys as well.
So yeah, I just feel the same, really. I can't believe that I'm already at the end
of my eighth week. This first trimester is just flying by. Still cannot wait to tell
everyone, because there's a few people that I still haven't told, and it's like this unspoken
thing. I just cannot wait for my scan. I still have
not had my scan date, which I'm thinking I'm going to have to call and chase the hospital,
because I'm nine weeks tomorrow, and you just want to have that date in mind, and I want
to be able to tell everyone at work, and I want to just have it in the open, you know?
So yes. So I'm really, still waiting for that scan date. I feel like I'm repeating myself
in these pregnancy updates. Sorry. One other exciting thing that I've done this
week, which, and I know it's really early, but I've bought some maternity clothes. I
have bags and bags of maternity clothes in our loft, which I'm definitely going to get
out when I'm 12 weeks plus. But the other day I was doing a shop anyway, and I just
thought that I would add them in. So... Sorry. Oh, I'm going to be tired.
So from Topshop I've got a jogging suit set. So I've got these really comfy, almost like
Carine trousers. Yeah, and then they got the matching sort of sweatshirt as well, but it's
pretty thin. If you were really hot in pregnancy, you could tell these would be good. Yeah,
I just thought I'd get them because I'll be able to wear them now, and I'll be able to
wear them almost throughout the whole pregnancy. And I just thought they were really cute.
Then I got two sets of maternity black leggings, because this is something that I know has
not lasted my other two pregnancies. So I will not have any black leggings left, because
at the end of each pregnancy they were so ruined, I just threw them out. I was like,
I can't even keep those. There's holes in them and stuff, because I just live in them.
So I got two pairs from Topshop. They're really, really simple. These are the under the bump
ones. There's a nice big band that's going to be a little bit supportive, just for the
beginning of pregnancy. I'll get the over the bump ones towards the end, but I just
feel already like I want to have something really comfy on in bed and around the house.
So I've got two sets. I've got these nice trousers. These are from
Next, and they're kind of like slouchy work trousers, really, really stretchy with a nice
big band. I thought these would be nice for work or in the spring and summer. I just thought
they looked pretty cool, and again they're going to be under the bump, but I can wear
a long vest top to match up with them. So I got that as well.
Then one other thing that I got that I wanted to show you is, I've been really slack at
drinking enough water during this pregnancy. You're supposed to drink three liters a day
when you're pregnant, which is just so much considering how often you have to go to the
loo. So I've not been that great at drinking water. So I got these two big, yeah... I got
these two big water, watering cups. What am I say... Two big water bottles from Prime
Mark. They were like a pound each, and I'm just going to fill them up with water, have
one next to my bed, have one at the office, just have water with me all the time so that
I am drinking enough. So I think that is it for this week. Sorry,
it's not the most eventful week, but I wanted to keep the updates going anyway, and yes,
I hope you like this video. Please comment down below if you are pregnant as well and
going through this with me. I'd love to hear from you. And yeah, thank you so much for
watching, and I'll see you very soon. Bye. Hi, guys. I'm back with my seven week pregnancy
update. I'm going to be...
