I now only have 4 months left until my baby is born. I am now over half way along the pregnancy time and I am now starting to feel good. It feels that I have been pregnant for a lifetime almost! I am just wishing the weeks away now until I finish work and start my maternity leave.
My partner and I had been trying for a couple of months so I was checking to see if I was pregnant quite regularly. I was so happy when I found out the news. I was also worried. So many things can go wrong along the pregnancy timeline and I didn't want them to happen to me.
Remember the first couple of weeks because the symptoms soon arrive and they arrive with a vengeance. The first 12 to 14 weeks of the pregnancy timeline are tough. Your body is going through a lot of changes and it sure lets you know about it. You will feel sickness, tired and aches (both head and back). What got to me was smells. Yes I know it sounds strange but smells made me feel sick.
At 12 weeks though you get to go for your scan. It is really great to see your baby dancing around on the screen. It is such a relief and it really shows you why your body is feeling like it does.
After about 14 weeks I started to feel much better. This was the first time along the pregnancy timeline that I actually started to enjoy it. I had more energy and lost the sickly feeling. The only really problem I had was with my bladder. I think that little one must be sitting on it as it feels really uncomfortable.
Now for the really exciting stuff... looking for baby things. I am busy spending my time looking around the shops and searching online for things to buy for the baby. This is what pregnancy should be all about!
