In the brief bliss of my sixth pregnancy I was so looking forward to seeing these two with their new sibling. There are many choices I made with the fuzzy goggles of post partum anxiety that I very much regret; I wish I’d let Izzy hold Ollie more, I wish I could have relaxed more, I wish I’d asked for help, but at the time I didn’t realise I so desperately needed it.

I should be 15 weeks pregnant now, almost 16 weeks. I should be feeling our baby dancing, rolling, and kicking, maybe even other could feel their movement from the outside at this stage too if they were like their siblings who were big, big movers! The grief doesn’t get easier, it just changes. I’m so sad I’ll never get to know them.

Beautiful photo from Ollie’s newborn session with @edarcydesign at 3 days old 😍

In one of my earlier post I have mentioned about two products which I found to be very effective during my pregnancy days. In this post I will share about the other product.
I was prescribed by an ayurvedic practitioner this Bala Tailam which I found to be very effective in keeping my skin soft and nourished. I used to apply this oil all over, then do some exercise followed by warm water bath. I used to feel calm and relaxed after applying it and the best part it I didn’t get any stretch marks. This oil kept my skin super soothing as the skin during pregnancy feels itchy and uncomfortable.
There are many other products/ oils that are available in the market, but since I was recommended by my physician I didn’t try any other and used it during my second pregnancy also.
It is available at Ayurvedic shop priced at 160/- for 100 ml.

8 weeks and 4 days taken in the pm. It’s really starting to pop. These pants hide it a little though
This week I have still had massive 24/7 nausea some days it floors me. Exhaustion is right up there. Nothing I try seems to help. Can’t stand ginger the zinc and B6 from the naturopath seem to make it worse.
The only good things about COVID 19 cutting my job is the fact I don’t know I could have worked anyway. It’s tough.
I have my boys home now and we are homeschooling. They are loving the idea but I know it will wear thin soon.
Nothing much new from this week to the last. Still deciding if we should do the NIPT or not. What’s your thoughts? Time is going by fast. I should have had some blood work done last week to check my electrolytes but I keep forgetting cause I’ve been so unwell and trying not to leave the house.
I need to book in my scans too. Still not sure if they’re allowing partners to attend or not. 🤞 Really hoping so!
How’s your week? .
