For the first time in my pregnancy I actually felt super excited! It was during the 14 week scan when Dan and I witnessed our baby kicking its legs and moving its arms. There is something magical about seeing that initial little black blob transformed into a little human being.
Everything looks normal and there was a strong heartbeat. My nausea still plagues me but thankfully it has improved. I’m mostly sick at night. The clinical midwife tells me that there is a chance I may still have the nausea throughout the pregnancy but I reckon it will only keep improving. They consulted my ENT Specialist and have decided that I need to treat my allergies with medication. If it goes untreated then I will just keep getting sinus infections and that is also not good for me or the baby. I have an appointment with the ENT Specialist on Thursday to discuss this further.
Contrary to some horror stories I have heard, the clinical midwife was wonderful! She was willing to speak English and didn’t put up a fight when I announced that I wanted an epidural during labour. She gave me a brief description of how the hospital birth will take place and seemed sincerely interested in my general wellbeing.
Dan was smiling from ear to ear and we both feel so blessed. I have heard that the 2nd trimester is called the "honeymoon" phase and I’m starting to believe it.
