22 weeks Diary

Well I have just finished the 22nd week of my pregnancy and I have to say this week was my worse feeling of them all.


Big events-
Since the very beginning of it, I began to feel a little of the nausea coming back.
Within 24 hours, I was fighting migraine which I was unable to keep at bay and it ended up having me layed down for the whole weekend making me miss my oldest daughters 11th birthday.

How am I feeling?
I felt so emotional, tired and my head felt like it was literally going to fall of.
Panic also started. I have had the worry of having such headaches in pregnancy and even my family worried that I may have pre-eclampsia and told me to go to the doctors to be seen to asap.

I know I should have , but I thought I would give it time to ease and luckily by Monday , I started to feel the headaches ease of and I was able to get up, walk the children to school and go about my everyday routine as normal .

I felt pleased that I had slight relief in knowing whatever it was had disappeared and I had plenty of movement from bump to reassure me it was just a bug I had caught from my husband who had been complaining of being unwell the week before .

I later learned that it may have also been due to the fact that at around this time of the pregnancy, your eyeballs change shape and can cause dry eye.
I have never heard of this in my previous pregnancy's so thought it may be of interest to you also.
I think this may have been another cause to my headaches as I soon realised it was my eye movement which gave me the discomfort and pain I was getting.

Other than the illness which thankfully has passed now , I also found some huge changes in my body.

I have found that my breasts have become more tender, especially around the nipple area.
My breasts feel itchy as they are obviously growing too . 
My nipples are taking a more teat like shape and have a more rounded look to them and basically beginning to leak colostrum, (the special milk my baby will get when he first starts feeding from the breast).

I am finding myself snacking on all sorts (although I rarely ate much over the weekend ), but I have gone from those unhealthy snacks of chocolates and cakes (still the odd one) and now concentrating on healthier snacks like cucumber sticks and fruit.

I made the terrible mistake or eating peppers on Wednesday, earlier on in the pregnancy , I found I was left feeling sick when I hate them but me forgetting again, I ate some and spent the night spewing my gutts up into the holy trinity cistern , I need a reminder sticker on my fridge to stop me doing it again, I should know better by now , ''Baby Prince does not like peppers''.


How Is Baby?
By now baby is meant to be measuring around 28cm .
I am already beginning to be surprised at how quick this baby is growing and we still have quite some time to go .
Our baby boy is starting to grow rapidly and look more of a newborn .

Neighbours-
I also had a fantastic visit from our new neighbours.
They came bearing a stunning present for baby, something I appreciated very much ,
Knitted blanket with matching mitts and hat.
If there is anything I love most about baby gifts its those amazing hand made knitted ones and  I am very lucky that my neighbour wishes to do many more for us so I am thrilled.

So although this week was not so fantastic with being ill for most of it , I am beginning to feel like it is all about to start and I am getting very excited.

Look after yourself! I know with pregnancy when you feel ill sometimes it seems to go on forever and you wonder if you will ever feel well again.

Hope you don't have too many problems with your dry eye - I think eye problems often lead to headaches.

You have some very lovely neighbours, how kind. Bump is coming on very nicely, kind of sad I won't experience that again

I had no idea you can leak before the baby is born, I thought that happened after the birth. Shows what I know! Glad you're starting to feel better now lovely xx
