Baby Update at 18 Weeks

Feeling lots more little movements now which is exciting. However I’ve also had more adverse symptoms including headaches and minor blood noses (when I blow it) due to the increase of blood flow.

Had another appointment with the midwife this week and found that I’m turning into a Fatty Mac Fat Fat.

The little bub is around 16 centimetres in length from crown to rump. Sounds big! But it’s not even half way yet and the thought of pushing anything out bigger than what it is now is terrifying!

Sleeping is getting harder. I still want to sleep on my back but trying to train myself to sleep on my side. Unfortunately my efforts result in tensing up and I end up getting pins and needles everywhere in every position. I even had a dream last night about the hubby’s dad (an endocrinologist) sending me a video about sleeping on your side to avoid restricting the vena cava. At least the dream included cupcakes, although I never got around to eating any.
