Hi, guys. Welcome back to my channel. So today I'm going to be doing my 10-week pregnancy
update. If you watched my nine-week update, you will know that, although the baby is really,
really tiny at the moment, I think now it's the size of a fig, its heart is completely
formed and its gone from being an embryo to officially a fetus now, so that's really exciting
and it means that all the organs are formed and they're growing really, really rapidly
now. It's, like I said, the size of a fig or four
centimeters, so it's still tiny, but yeah, lots is going in. Its jawbone is starting
to grow and I cannot believe that it already will have milk teeth in it, even now. Obviously
they won't pop up until my baby is like six months old, but they're forming already, which
is crazy. A bit of peach fuzz, hair is already growing and apparently it's moving around.
It will start jerking its arms and hands and things. Not that I can feel anything yet because
they're so tiny, but you might have seen in a few of my other updates that I've been stressing
about not having a scan date. Basically my GP messed up and didn't refer me to the hospital.
Anyway, now that is all sorted and I have a date for my booking in appointment, which
was supposed to be at eight weeks, but I will be 11 weeks when I go. I also have my scan
date as well, which I'll be well into my 12th week when I have it, so that is all coming
up. I just feel so much better that I know that
that's in the diary and that I can look forward to that because I'm desperate to just tell
everyone. I feel like I've got the pouch already. I feel like I've been popping out since eight
weeks, to be honest. Yes, it would just be really nice to tell everyone and I few people
have said to me, "Oh, you look a bit tired" or just things like that and I just want to
go, "Yeah, I'm pregnant," like I am really tired, but obviously you can't until ... I
just, I think for me, I just want to see the baby. I just want to have seen it and be like,
"Okay, it's really in there. Now I can tell everyone."
So symptoms that I've been feeling in my 10th week of pregnancy have been a little bit nauseous.
I've still been lucky that I haven't been physically sick. Every time I brush my teeth
though, and I brush my tongue, I really, really gag. It actually hurts my stomach, so I've
got to be careful because I don't think it would take much to make me throw up at this
time. Smells are still pretty strong for me, like cooking. A new symptom for me this week
is when I've been rolling over in bed, if I do it quite quickly I get a real stitch.
It hurts. It's literally like, "Oh," and then I have to roll back the way that I was. So
I don't know if things are happening when I'm sleeping or if, by moving over quickly,
I'm disrupting something in my uterus or if it's the baby or what, but it has been a little
bit uncomfortable so I'm just trying to remember to roll over really slowly in bed. Still having
to wee more. Last night I got up three times to go to the loo, so that's extremely annoying,
but I'm hoping that that will ease off once I'm past my 12th week.
My eldest had a sickness bug and then my youngest got it and my husband got it and my mum got
it. Everyone around me got it, but I was lucky to escape it, so I'm really pleased because
being pregnant and having that, I just am so glad that I haven't got it. I'm drinking
as much water as I can. They recommend that you drink a lot of water, three liters a day,
but sometimes plain water on its own makes me feel a little bit nauseous. I don't know
why, so what has really been helping with that is if I put a tiny bit of lemon squash
or actually fresh lemon, just squeeze it in. That's been really good, just kind of let
me have the liquid, but not making me feel sick. Ginger ale is still helping, like Sprite.
Little tiny sips of that has been quite helpful. Yeah, I actually have one craving now. Every
night after dinner I've really been craving yogurt or Muller Lights. It's funny because
that's what I was like with my first son, with Frazier. The only craving I had with
Frazier was Muller Lights. Last night after dinner we had none in the fridge and I was
like, "Oh no." It just felt like the end of the world. I'm still really tired. Still getting
out of breath for absolutely no reason, which is weird. As I mentioned, I've got my booking
in appointment next week with the midwife at the hospital, so I'm looking forward to
that and I'm really looking forward to talking to her more about having a home birth and
seeing what they think, because I've still not actually talked to anyone about it, but
the other day someone told me that your third labor can be a lot like your first labor.
That's kind of put me off a bit because, although Frazier was very straightforward and it was
good, it was a lot longer. It was seven hours. I know if you had a bad labor you're probably
like, "Oh, shut up," but I was really looking forward to maybe having another birth like
Caleb, who was three hours out, like done. So I was kind of hoping for another one of
those, but apparently in your third labor you can go back to the start.
I've been reading through my [inaudible 00:05:05] diary this week as well. I still haven't picked
up my big bag of [inaudible 00:05:09] from [inaudible 00:05:10], but I'm hoping to do
that in the next week and then I can show you what's in it. My husband and I have been
thinking a little bit about names, but not majorly. We have a girl's name now. I think
that we both agree on. There is one name we both agree on, so that's amazing, but we're
keeping it a secret. I'm really sorry to put it out there and then not tell you what it
is, but I'm just not sure. One, we probably won't have a girl. And two, someone might
not like it and put me off. I don't know. But we have absolutely no boys names at all,
but I was thinking today, I quite like surnames as first names. I heard a little boy that
was called Hudson and I thought Hudson was a really nice name. I like Parker, Carter.
I've been hearing all these nice surname names, so if you know any names like that, please
comment down below and help me because I'll be really interested to hear any of those
names. I think that's it this week for updates. Sorry,
it's not been the most eventful week. I'm still on my Pregnant Care vitamins. I'm still
doing my iron supplements. That's about it I think. So yes, I will see you next week
where I'll have more updates about how my booking in appointment went and my [inaudible
00:06:23] diary pack and stuff like that, but for now I will see you all soon. Bye.
