What a journey this has been!
Currently 32 weeks pregnant and it's fair to say this pregnancy is totally different to when I was pregnant with Mayarna. For a start, I have been extremely nauseous from the day I found out and it has continued throughout my whole pregnancy. I have gone off so much food and drink and can't plan meals ahead at all. I can't complain though as my BMI has gone down and I have lost a few pounds!
What has been nice is feeling her movements. She's been super active from about 17 weeks (yes she made her presence aware from then!) and has got stronger every week. I now feel like I'm growing a baby octopus inside me as I feel kicks all over, some of them that leave me speechless. However, there is no better feeling than a baby's kick. It reassures you that baby is growing well and is strong.
As you can see, I don't have a tiny neat bump! This picture is of me at 25 weeks and I look ready to pop. I am praying that I am carrying a lot of water, but Mayarna was 9lb 3oz, so I know this baby won't be a small one. It's funny when you read apps and they say things like "your baby is now 30cm and weighs roughly 2lb" Clearly they haven't seen our bumps!
Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) is now my newest struggle and it is kicking my ass! It's a pain in my pelvis that I experienced previously with Mayarna, but this time the pain goes all through my right thigh. My leg seizes up and walking is so difficult. As usual, I have had physio but nothing really helps, it's just a case of managing the pain, which is so much easier said than done when you are restricted to what painkillers you can take when pregnant.
Well I have roughly 55 days until my princess is due and we are so excited to meet her. Do I have any concerns? Yes! How will we manage with a 2 year old and a newborn? Will Mayarna adjust ok? When will I sleep? There are so many questions and worries, but all we can do is take each day as it comes and embrace the girls because before we know it, we'll be in our 40s and they'll be off to college!
The joys of parenting.
