Month: December 2019

My top 9 of 2019! 🎉

We had so many emotional ups and downs, LOTS of waiting, and so much doubt…. but 2019 turned out to be my year ❤❤ I am so beyond grateful for my BFP but also super grateful for all of the friends I made along the way. So I celebrate with the other ladies who have also conceived, but I am always still here for anyone still struggling with infertility/fertility issues. Please know that you can reach out to me at any time and I will be here for you 💕

Here’s hoping 2020 is an amazing year and that anyone still waiting to hold their baby gets their miracle soon ❤

REPOST: Part Four 🌼
My journey to become a Mum.
________
Seeing Esmae’s heart beat on that screen changed everything for us. We left the hospital in a complete daze(Steve almost walked into a pole). From then on we started to imagine what this baby would look like, what gender we would have and how big my bump would end up getting(I was one of those women that thought I wouldn’t show… I was wrong, but I’ll get back to that later!).
________
The idea of being 5 weeks and 6 days and getting to our dating scan felt so far away to me and the thought of not knowing how she was growing was a huge anxiety issue that I tried my best to contain. Due to my history, I didn’t want to tell anyone until we’d got to the dating scan and knew that our little one was growing okay.
________
At 8 weeks pregnant I was booking into an early scan after experiencing pain and bleeding like I did with BB and my other baby in the stars. Once again, my heart lept seeing that heart beat on the screen – the little blob shape now looked more like a kidney bean. This emergency scan was followed by another at 10 weeks for the same reason and this time our little bean actually looked like a tiny tiny baby. I was told to rest up and not over do things.
________
I rested as much as I could, started drinking healthy drinks, sorted my diet out and forced myself to go for walks. It was hard but I knew it was all worth it to raise the chances of her getting everything she needed to keep on growing!
________
Our dating scan was suddenly upon us and just like the previous scans, so were my worries and expectations. For the fourth time, they turned that screen on and showed us our little Esmae. She now looked so much like a little baby and she wriggled and danced to show us how strong she already was. Another moment that I will never forget.
________
On July 3rd 2018, we announced our new journey to the world.
________
“Until now it’s been us two, & we’ve been as happy as can be… But we will soon be welcoming, our member number 3.”
________
End of Part Four. 🌼

Or anytime sickness as I like to call it!
It’s not nice at all for those who have suffered from it. Some women get it mild, some get it severe and some will be fortunate enough to escape it all together.
Some women will find it goes away by the first trimester and some wil suffer throughout pregnancy. One big factor is hormones, specifically the hcg levels – the higher they are, the more likely you will suffer with the dreaded nausea.
Alleviating it is a personal thing. For some women nothing works and they find themselves asking the doctor fo medication to help. For others doing simple things like eating small meals often, avoiing strong smells, avoiding fatty/spicy foods and having a dry snack bedside to eat as soon as you wake might help.
.
Some women just feels nauseous and other will also vomit.
.
Severe morning sickness is called hyperemesis gravidarum and causes women to vomit multiple times per day. This can cause dehydration quickly so if you find you’re unable to keep fluids down, seek help from your care provider. .
Did you suffer from ‘morning’ or ‘anytime’ sickness? .
