The pregnancy so far



Hopefully my last post did not bore you too much. I know it was a very long post.
This one won't be as long, I promise.

Ok so if you read my last post, you know how long it took to fall pregnant with my son and why I had to have a section, and that my doctor gave the go ahead to start trying when my little boy turned 3 months.

So a little before my son turned 3 months I went on Amazon and brought a load of cheap ovulation tests and pregnancy tests. We decided we wouldn't use the Conceive Plus just as. We thought it would take a while to fall pregnant again. I started to get disheartened when I got to cycle day 14 and I still hadn't had a positive ovulation test. I was temping as well so I would know if I was actually ovulating or not. Cycle day 18 I finally got a positive ovulation test.

I started using pregnancy tests and tracking my symptoms when I was 3dpo. I thought I have quite a few tests so why not. When I was about 3 weeks the nausea and headaches started. At 9dpo I got a very very faint positive pregnancy test. It slowly got darker and at 12dpo it got dark enough for my husband to see. The next day I tested with a digital test and sure enough, those words came up 11 months after finding out I was pregnant with my son. Pregnant.

I booked an appointment to see my doctor to get the pregnancy confirmed. The first thing he asked when I told him was "was it planned". Of course it was. Was expecting it to happen first time, but it was planned.

When I was 4 and a half weeks, the morning sickness started. 10 times worse then it was with my son. It got to the point where I could not leave the house as I always felt sick. I was being sick 3 to 4 times a day. When I was 6 weeks and after losing 10lbs, I went to see my doctor. I asked about being put on anti-sickness tablets. To which he agreed.

The tablets helped. Didn't stop me from feeling sick and being sick, but it reduced the amount of times I was being sick and how often I felt sick. It was about 17 weeks before my morning sickness stopped. Also the time my Braxton Hicks started. At this point I started worrying that I hadn't felt the baby move yet. I had at that point with my son. It was about a week later when I first felt the baby move.

A few weeks later we had the 20 week scan. we also found out the gender. It's another boy.
I'm now almost 22 weeks, and he's moving round quite a bit more the last few days. I've only been sick a few times since my morning sickness stopped. I don't take my tablets for it anymore.

So that's about it for the pregnancy so far, not really much to tell. I'll post again in a few days.
