So here we go..baby number two. Thought I'd write a blog so I've got something to look back on and remember :) I'll write about my pregnancy, show some pics of my bump when i get one, and about trying to cope with having Alfie and another on the way.
We bought the little cheap sticks first cos doing a pregnancy test became a monthly occurrence in our house thanks to my impatience. I'd do one, it'd say negative and I'd come on the next day. So when i told Ryan i think I was late he didn't believe me. We'd been trying for a baby for about 4 months so it wasn't a big shock, ish. We knew it was coming but wasn't expecting it quite so soon. Ryan thought he might have fertility issues. I think he just enjoyed the 'trying for a baby' part ;) Anyway, I did the first stick (the very left) and got two lines which meant positive. But this wasn't enough for Ryan so he made me do the other two since there was 3 in a pack. But as my wee wasn't as strong, a line barely came up. So to save the headache of staring at faint lines, i got a digital test and bish bash bosh I'm up the duff :)
This was a few days after Xmas when we found out. We told our parents but thought we would keep it at that. As the weeks went on we told more people though! That was until i started bleeding at 8 weeks. After a phone to NHS direct telling me to go the doctors the next morning who then told me to go the hospital, it was all very scary. We had an early pregnancy scan anyway and she said everything was alright. We got to see the baby a bit earlier anyway :)
Ive pretty much been bleeding since then, not a lot but when you shouldn't bleed at all it seems like loads. At the hospital today I got told I have a low lying placenta and thats why i might be bleeding. They also said if its still like that throughout the pregnancy i might need a cesarean but chances are it will move a bit higher so i should be alright.
The thought of a cesarean sounds appealing to me. It shouldn't really cos it'll mean lots of pain after and staying in hospital a while. But i'll know when I'm having the baby, and ill have pain relief before the labour actually starts. winner winner chicken dinner!!
I don't like thinking about labour so i won't talk too much about it. Lets just say, Im still traumatised. I am that annoying overreacting girl who screams at the top of their voice and people think "is it really that bad?". Yes. for me anyway. some 'enjoy' labour...HA.
So i told the midwife today i want an epidural the minute I'm 3 centimetres and I'm telling her now so she's got it ready. Then she tried the whole shebang about if I've thought of a home birth, or a water birth, or hypnotherapy. No, i need to be paralysed from the waist down thanks.
Ive been quite bad with nausea since I've found out i was pregnant. I haven't actually been sick yet, i just feel sick ALL the time. The smell of everything is horrible. Ive only just managed to go back in Asda and i have to rush round and not go near the bakery pizza or fish parts. bleurghhh. I never had any of this with Alfie so i was hoping for the same again. this baby has other ideas. Its 5cms long and causing havoc already :) can tell its ryans!!
I ask Alfie where the baby is and he rubs my belly. It's very cute. He kissed it before too!
Anyway, bit of a long one as its my first one. I'll try and do one every week if I've got something to say or show. Something to pass my time anyway.
For now tho, world, meet baby Wood, due 28th August :)
Kel, xXx
