Highlight of 2019… Traveling through China/S-Korea/Japan/Thailand with my husband this year was a big leap for us—we bounced from Beijing to Bangkok and all kinds of places in between for about two months, trudging through unreal heat toward some of the greatest historical sites in Asia. I think the traditional villages and zen temples of Kyoto may have been my favorite… here’s one from Kiyomizu-dera Temple. A few days later I came to learn of my “delicate condition,” likely the truest culprit of my mysteriously ferocious case of heat exhaustion that day… #pregnantanddidntknowit #earlypregnancy #heatexhaustion #Kyoto #Japan #japanesepagoda #travelstudy #travel #kiyomizudera

First beta was done roughly 10-11dpo on Friday and was a 43. I went in yesterday (~14dpo) for beta #2 and I’m so anxious waiting to hear where it’s at. I’ve been sleeping terribly because I’m just so anxious and scared of getting hurt after having my hopes up. This happiness I feel at finally being pregnant is both thrilling and terrifying. Also, meme-ing is tricky right now because I feel so unsure of where I actually am at in this journey. Pregnant, but early, so I don’t feel secure at all. It’s like being in limbo. So my content may slow down but I’ll try to provide updates and laughs when I can!

Mother / daughter night out 💜 .

Moms how do you keep energized in early pregnancy? I am so beyond exhausted my life consists of making sure the kids are alive and lying on the couch. That’s it 😂
Btw I hate coffee so that’s no help 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

No sooner have you peed on that all important stick and you are suddenly thrust into a world of information leaflets, pregnancy websites, medical appointments and blood tests. ​ For some this flurry of activity marks an exciting time but for others it can be a little overwhelming.

Here is a little breakdown of the blood tests you will be offered and why.

Booking bloods: these are taken at your booking appointment – usually around 10 weeks of pregnancy. ​ 3 vials of blood will be taken and will screen for: HIV, Hepatitis B, Syphilis, your iron levels and your Rhesus Factor.

Your Rhesus Factor will be positive or negative. ​ If it is positive, no further action is recommended. ​ If your blood group is Negative you will be advised to have an injection of Anti-D at 28 weeks of pregnancy. ​ This blood group can trigger your body to produce antibodies which could potentially attack any subsequent pregnancies. ​ Equally if you have any episodes of bleeding in the pregnancy additional doses will be given.

Knowing if you are HIV positive or have hepatitis is also important as this will ensure that both you and your baby get the correct care and treatment. ​

Although your body produces extra blood during pregnancy it is important to know what your iron levels are to start with to ensure you do not become anaemic. ​ Your blood will be taken again at 28 weeks to see how these levels are.

The end of an old year. Week nine of pregnancy. Not the most beautiful part of the journey and one so rarely depicted, with one month of non-stop nausea behind me and more to come, with much fatigue and not always, I regret, the best of humors. But I’m more grateful than ever for the benefit of experience, for an exceptionally charming toddler always ready to distract me, for the memory of all those negative pregnancy tests behind me, for knowing my body so much better than before and having the confidence to make my own decisions about what’s good for it, for more of a sense of pregnancy as a natural process, and for the overwhelming love to come.
