‘Get A Kick Out Of You

I took my first road trip since I became pregnant. Whilst the shaking was not pleasant, I think it triggered the baby to be more active so by the end of week 18, I started feeling the baby’s movements.

Now I realize that I had felt the same in earlier weeks but I wasn’t aware that they were the baby’s movements. Now I am certain. This is very exciting. I want to feel the baby move all the time!

Family Matters

I recovered my energy just in time for my in-laws who have come to visit us for the very first time since we got married. I was extremely worried about not having enough energy and being able to stand the smells while I would cook for them. Thankfully, either with a rush of adrenaline or due to the charms of the second trimester, I am absolutely fine.

I heard the baby’s heartbeat for the second time in the GP’s office yesterday. It was incredibly soothing and reassuring. I am always so worried about the baby’s wellbeing that hearing the heart beating really calms me. As I don’t feel terribly sick anymore as I did in the first trimester, I was wondering if feeling ok means I am still pregnant or not. I certainly have become silly…
