I’m a little late with my pregnancy diary this week. I’m looking forward to looking back on this diary as this is definitely my final pregnancy and even though it’s my fourth I have never kept any sort of record before.
How Far Along Am I?
I am now just over 24 weeks, I have 16 weeks left if all goes according to plan. It seems like an age away but I know how fast time flies.
My Baby’s Development
My baby is now around 30cm long, his little lungs are fully developed. He is also starting to lay down fat on his little frame.
Movements
He is still very active but I’m starting to notice a pattern of when he’s awake and when he goes to sleep. He also seems to prefer one side of my tummy to the other.
How Am I Sleeping?
Not great is the answer this week, I have had some very odd and not very nice dreams. This has left me a little restless, so I’ve been taking the opportunity and having an afternoon nap when Daisy does. I’ve also been waking with a really aching back.
How’s My Health?
The good news this week is that after talking to my diabetic nurse and adjusting the way I take my morning insulin I’ve only had one hypo, The bad news is that there is very little change to my blood sugar levels and I’m still feeling wiped out in the mornings. I have an appointment this week to discuss it all so hopefully, they can suggest something that will help.
Weight Gain
Once again I’ve forgotten to weigh myself. I like to weigh first thing in the morning but that’s the busiest time for me so I keep forgetting, must try harder.
Cravings
I’m still craving Ham sandwiches and crisps & I have to eat them in a certain way. I really am an oddity.
How’s My Mood?
I’m feeling lots better mentally which is a relief. I’m trying to focus on positives and what I can do rather than what I can’t.
Other Bits & Bobs
We were considering not getting a double pushchair but we have had a really good think about it and we are going to invest in one. I have my eye on one on Kiddicare.com so we will be ordering that next weekend.
Looking Forward To
Ordering a double pushchair, I’ve not bought anything new for ages.
Lots more ham sandwiches.
I thought I would leave you with a little bump shot, I post these each week on Instagram.
I will be back next week with another update, please feel free to leave a comment or any questions you might have, I always reply.
