My apatite has gone from wanting to eat _everything_ to not wanting to eat at all. I need to check everything past my stomach to see if I want to eat it, I have to imagine eating it, and if the thought repulses me, I have to find something else. So far baby seems to like steak, scampi, chocolate and chicken tikka starter...which isn't exactly a balanced diet, but I'm finding it really hard to eat normally. I'm still getting a bit of morning sickness, though less than it was.
My breasts keep getting bigger and still very painful, and my nipples have got really big as well and have changed color! it's very strange. Though now I have a couple of big supportive bra's, that are about as sexy as hammocks, but at least they are comfortable.
I've got a couple of books on Hypnobirthing, so am doing my research. I'm going to have to write more about it later, it is fascinating and should hopefully help me have a nice easy birth.
I'm getting very tired easily, walking into town and back again is enough to wear me out and make me long for bed, but at the same time, because I'm not depressed any more, I hate being cooped up in the house for ages.
I think my bump is starting to show, though it is slightly hard to tell because I'm normally pretty curvaceous, and my stomach isn't flat at the best of times. Though now I'm definitely starting to out-grow my trousers, so I have ordered some 'fisherman's trousers' which are sort of wrap around, tie up trousers, which should keep fitting me no matter how much of a hippo I become.
I'm still feeling very emotional, I'm getting tearful at very little things, and feeling very clingy to Coyote, a little irrational voice in my head is very worried he's going to leave me (even though its really not going to happen). Generally I think I'm just feeling very vulnerable.
I've been getting slight achy pains in my abdomen, which is probably just the baby growing and taking up more room. But is making me worry (seriously, if I could have a scan every day to check that everything is fine, I would do).
and I've been referred to a mental health midwife, which is basically a normal midwife who has experience with women with problems, she has more time because of a lighter caseload, and she does home visits... all of which means I'll get more support than normal so everything stays fine through the pregnancy. My first appointment with her is on Wednesday.
Anyway, that's the random things that have been happening.
