Pregnancy and birth

Seven weeks

June 12, 2012June 10, 2016 knockedupjacqLeave a comment

Amazingly, we’re already more than half-way through the first trimester! Tomorrow we’re having our first scan, at which point we’ll get to check whether: a) there’s a heartbeat; b) it’s in the right place; and c) there’s more than one baby on board. Early scans are probably the only advantage of having to go through… Continue reading Seven weeks

Insomnia

June 10, 2012June 10, 2016 knockedupjacq2 Comments

Although I’m being spared any terrible nausea at the moment, I’m paying in other ways: I’m absolutely exhausted, but I’m having real trouble sleeping at night. Today I’ve been awake since before 4am and I’m shattered. Being an internet fiend, I’ve been googling to see what’s going on. This is what I’ve found: In the… Continue reading Insomnia

Knackered

I haven’t updated for a few days because I haven’t been doing much beyond sleeping a lot (all night, plus a two hour nap each afternoon) and occasionally eating. The Hunger is still striking me on a regular basis, leaving me absolutely ravenous and virtually unable to function until I eat something. The problem is,… Continue reading Knackered

Midwife dog

Tui the Wonder Dog, usually one of my biggest fans, has become even more devoted to me since I became pregnant. Mum and I were talking about it on the phone last night and theorised that pregnant women might give off the scent of pregnancy hormonal goodness that their dogs can sense. Apparently our cock-eyed… Continue reading Midwife dog

Calmer (and hungrier)

June 4, 2012June 10, 2016 knockedupjacq3 Comments

I’m happy to report that I’m feeling a great deal calmer today, thanks both to your lovely comments and to Tristan’s excellent wife-whisperer work after I’d posted yesterday. I’m also happy to report that, by posting about my weird lack of appetite, I seem to have triggered The Hunger. During the past couple of days,… Continue reading Calmer (and hungrier)

Stress

June 2, 2012June 10, 2016 knockedupjacq6 Comments

It’s just after 7am and I’ve been awake for a couple of hours – I had a horrible dream about losing the baby, and then I couldn’t get back to sleep. This is so stressful.

Sober driver

June 1, 2012June 10, 2016 knockedupjacq4 Comments

We’re spending the day with Davey and Carla, checking out the vineyards around Matakana and Warkworth. It’s lovely – gorgeous sunshine, nice people and (I’m told) delicious wine. And fortunately for the others, I’m the sober driver. Given that I have barely had alcohol at all this year, I don’t mind not drinking, but it… Continue reading Sober driver
