12 Week Scan

Baby Bob is alive and most certainly kicking! :)

Infact he/she kicked and stretched all the way through, so much so that the woman doing the scan commented on what an active baby it was and she kept poking it in order to make it move when it settled. Lol

He/she also appears to have very long legs like its Daddy which is a good thing because I’d rather it be that way then be a short arse like me.

I can’t believe how clear the baby looked either; like a proper little person. It’s hard to get my head around the fact that it’s really inside my belly and not just on a TV screen. The rush of feeling I had when seeing it was something I’ve never experienced before and I now know that I will do anything possible to make sure this baby is safe and well.

This whole growing a baby thing is so so strange yet so so lovely to be able to do all at the same time.

2nd Trimester!

Wow, I cant believe we have made it to the 2nd trimester!

Looking back over how much has happened over these past 12 weeks, I cant believe we will have our little baby by the end of this year!

More Blood and Stress at Work

I know I keep saying it but I really really, want to walk out of this office and never come back.

I’ve been crying to my OH this morning down the phone. Yet again I have come into the office to my Manager telling me off for things I have not done 'correctly'.

I didn’t add the correct details onto an appointment apparently. As it turns out they are on a machine of which I didn’t even know existed and so in defiance, when I emailed the details over to my Director, I told him that!

I’m sure there will be other things for them to have a go at me for though, as it seems to be the pattern every day for the past couple of weeks.

I wish I could walk out but I’m stuck. Who’s going to want to take on a three month pregnant woman now? There’s no way we can afford for me to be out of a job as it’s hard enough as it is with both of our wages.

To top things off, late yesterday evening I went to the toilet and there was bright red blood when I wiped. I kept an eye on it for the remainder of the night and thankfully it only seemed to appear when I wiped.

Today, it’s now brown and quite heavy and doesn’t just appear when I wipe. I’m praying it’s the blood clot in my uterus coming out and nothing else.

We have the twelve week scan this Friday thankfully.

The baby was fine a few weeks back after my last bleed so I’m clinging to that as a good sign. The nurse did say the clot would come out eventually but I wasn’t expecting it to do so now, not when I’ve had no bleeding for three weeks. I’ve even been allowing myself to start planning things for the baby in my head.

Roll on Friday. It can’t come quickly enough.

Discharge

Yes this post is going to be full of waaay too much information for a Monday afternoon, but I need to post it as I feel like a freak.

Since falling pregnant I have had a shocking increase in discharge. Its got so bad these last few weeks that I have been having to wear pant liners 24/7. Its putting me off DTD with OH and I'm seriously considering taking out a few shares in Always just for the hell of it.

I have had a test done to make sure it wasn’t an infection but unfortunately its not; it’s my hormones which means that I have to live with it for however long it lasts for.

Yet another thing no one tells you about when they talk of the 'joys of pregnancy'!

P*ssed Off Pregnant Woman Needs to Vent

I am on the verge of walking out of my job.

I can’t seem to do anything right here ever since I told them I was pregnant. I seem to be told to do one thing by my Director and then Im getting told off for doing it by my Manager!

Every single f*cking thing I do, there is something wrong with it.

I’ve just had to go to the toilets to have a cry as I am being made to feel like I’m as thick as sh*t and yes they do keep mentioning that I’m pregnant and that my brain isn’t on the job and that I’m not listening properly to my instructions, when I know for a fact that I was not told to do that something in the first place and then when I do do something, there is always something to pick at on it!!!  

*breath*

I tried to talk back to my Manager this morning but of course I got beaten down to the point where I couldn’t do anything but nod and then walk off and head straight for the toilet. I feel as though the woman hates me.

Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t come back on Monday but being pregnant I feel as though I’m trapped here. Ok I’m crying again god damn it.

Ok. I am going to get back to my work and go over everything before I go home to make sure they have nothing to come back at me on in the morning.

I really wish I had the choice to walk out.

Morning Sickness

There are tons of posts on my Birth Board about morning sickness, and yet I have not had any so far.

I know its not a nice thing to have it and Im not complaining that I dont have it this time round, but there’s nothing out there to say that its normal and yet there is plenty of sites out there who say that morning sickness is normal as its the baby getting what it needs.

Well if that is the case, then what the hell is my baby surviving on?!
