Category: What Is The Best Pregnancy Test?

G’day from Sydney! Thought I’d share a few of my pics from our adventure the other day. We hiked 6km from Coogee to Bondi beach and it was beautiful.
I’m doing my best to enjoy despite my near constant anxiety about whether my pregnancy will continue to progress or not. Today my early pregnancy symptoms of low level nausea and sore breasts have nearly disappeared, making me very worried 😫😟 I’ve made it past the date from my chemical pregnancy though just barely. Please please let this baby snuggle in tight! 🙏🏼 🤞🏼

Anyone else hate the wait between ovulation and your period? I had a bunch of symptoms and was pretty hopeful. I took a test yesterday and it was negative and I’m pretty sure I’m getting my period 😔 .

Look at this sweet little one recently captured in the clinic 🙂 Early Viability Scans at Baby Moments
From approximately #8weekspregnant, we can normally see your baby through your tummy.
They are now the size of a Raspberry!
However, sometimes your baby can be forming in a tricky spot so, we may still need to look internally.

Our fully qualified sonographer will be able to create you a full medical report, that you can take to your GP/Midwife.
We will be able to advise you about the health and development of your baby and estimated due date.
Prices for Early Viability Scans start from £71.
Please feel free to message us if you have any questions and we will be happy to help.

Just a quick one. I had some aches in my lower back around this time – I think due to natural softening/loosening of ligaments and whatnot as body prepares – and personally found this wheat bag, which can be heated in microwave, better for a bit of relief than a hot water bottle for putting nestled against my lower back at night and during the day. Thank you to my mum who reminded me I owned this (she had given it to me ages ago for unrelated reasons!). Also, the aches did abate a few weeks after this and for most of the rest of second trimester, only returning in the third. But that story is for later!

Note – I was already getting reflux by this stage (boo! Usually worse later on – Google reflux in pregnancy to learn all about this delightful phenomenon, something else I naively didn’t realise was A Pregnancy Thing!!), so had started using a wedge pillow (bought off Amazon on a mate’s suggestion following starting to use 3 ordinary pillows) to sleep propped upright. The use of this unfortunately continued throughout; and additional pillows and whatnot were added to the mix….but that’s another story for a later date!!

Day 69 – 11.20.19
Baby’s “First” Flight… inside my tummy, anyway! 😉
. . . Headed to Austin, Texas for an awesome National Social Studies Conference. And I’m traveling with fun people. All the anticipation and excitement is helping preoccupy my worried brain a teeny tiny bit. Hehe. I just worry about our little seedling with some strange bizarre happening or variable that affects him somehow… I know, stay positive! 😋
I actually feel really good! So, I shall continue to stay that way (she says as all the horrible possibilities run through her head – lol). . . We already took one flight and are currently waiting on the plane for our connecting flight to begin. However, a half hour has now passed and we are waiting patiently. Grrr. I have a window seat finally, which is my favorite! But to get out to potty or stretch is inconvenient. Oh well, ’tis fine! It is all good. . . Ohp! We are ready to roll. Yay! Patience wins. 11:00pm – it is gonna be a late night and early morning. We got this! I’m grateful for transportation technology and the opportunity to go experience new places! .

The nausea is back! 🤢😭 I went a good few days without it, but its come back, with a vengeance! I am constantly feeling sick again, and this time i feel so sick that i feel like i can’t eat anything, but then feel so hungry!! 😭

Melon and cucumber is really helping me combat this sickness, im sure i will turn into a watermelon or a cucumber soon, with the amount I’m eating! 😂

This has been a few of the hardest months I’ve ever went through.
I felt so unwell with hyperemesis until the last couple of weeks.
Been in and out of hospital once a week, going to GPs, and felt miserable and so sick throughout.

I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. Think of the worst stomach bug you’ve ever had, but it doesn’t end for weeks, and in some cases months.

For me I’m lucky it ended recently. For others it can last the whole pregnancy. Something I wasn’t aware of before I got pregnant, was that it can come back later in the pregnancy too. Bummer lol.

The hospital visits were so hard at first. Every time I ended up going, there was a fire alarm test. One day, as well as the fire alarm test, an old man opposite me kept bending his arm when he was having an infusion, which would set the IV pump alarm off every five minutes, and having to buzz the nurse to stop the machine from bleeping… Every five minutes. I felt so ill and on this particular day there were no beds soo I had to sit in an electric chair that didn’t work for ages. When you feel sick and are being sick, you just want to lie down. It was a miserable time.
So, I had become accustomed with going to hospital, Kyle even knew what to pack to bring with us to make staying alot more comfortable.

So if you’re in early pregnancy and having a difficult time keeping everything down. Call your local hospital maternity triage and ask for help/advice.
If you’re told to go to hospital here’s what I suggest bringing: 💕A book
💞A phone and charger 💕 Headphones (this one is a must!!)
💞A comfort from home like a blanket/throw, slippers or whatever
💕Your favourite drink or a snack you can tolerate, will be different for everyone
💞 A colouring book, I was skeptical at first, but trust me. Its therapeutic.
💕 An eye mask/ear plugs
💞 Snacks/coffee for your partner if they’re coming with you
💕Lip balm, wipes, personal care items that will help you feel a little more human

I hope these help if you’re going through something similar.
