10 Weeks - Now what is going on?

Hooray for 10 Weeks!, although it feels like a lifetime ago that I was told I was pregnant, the first trimester goes slow! I cannot wait till our 12 week scan, so exciting, only 2 weeks to go (obviously..... you don't need to be a mathematician to work that one out).


10 week funny pregnancy goings on are as follows: well lets see, some things aren't exactly that funny, constipation, need I say more, it doesn't exactly have me rolling around in fits of laughter. I seriously cant remember the last time I had a decent poo! I have tried several things but nothing is really working so I guess I'm just hoping it will soon sort itself out, I refuse to drink prune juice again, the most disgusting thing to ever pass my lips. secondly, the morning sickness issue, I am still all ok, I have gotten off so lucky with this. I am still tired but I am kind of getting used to this, my boobs haven't seemed to have gotten too much bigger since the last update but they still look a bit odd. I am eating like a fat pig, I want to eat and eat and eat. I get fixated on a certain food and that is that. Yesterday I was extremely grumpy for no reason, today I feel better. As far as weight gain, well none, I just think my belly is starting to look like I have eaten too many pies, (fairly accurate), and doesn't look pregnant, I just look a bit round, like my waist seems a bit thicker.

Upcoming exciting stuff: 12 week scan, seeing our little baby moving around in there and actually looking like a real baby, getting a baby bump!!! some friends have told me they started to get a wee stomach pouch at 12 weeks and then at about 16 weeks it just all of a sudden stuck right out! cant wait. Second midwife visit on the 23rd August, 20 week scan to find out the sex (I think it's a girl). That's all for now, obviously as I get further along there are lots more exciting things to experience but we will leave it at that for now.


Sorry my posts have been a bit boring and short lately, Isn't it funny that when you have things to moan about you can write and write and write forever and probably annoy the living shit out of everyone but when there is nothing to moan about the posts are nice and short which is probably easier to tolerate. Also I know my posts have been a bit less frequent but I promise I am still going to keep up with it and keep posting.


Today I am off out, In the freezing cold weather, we have got a bit of a cold streak going on here, its just nasty, perhaps the reason for my constipation is that everything up there has frozen solid! not a pretty image! Best get out in the sun and perhaps loosen things up so to say, beats that damn prune juice, but enough said on that subject, I am still a lady after all.

  3. You need to get yourself some lactulose. In a big huge bottle. Ive got some if you want. Its a laxative, safe to use in pregnancy.

  6. Yahh to 10 weeks...constipation is my foe as well but I dont mind prune juice after all the herbal potions I have been on in past this stuff is nice compared to them but prune juice works for me...I tried metamucil but one morning when I took it I was sick and threw up so since stopped that....yes I have mood swings too angry one minute, crying the next...its so wonderful to enjoy such symptoms...and cant wait until we both reach 12 weeks Im only 1 day after you now!

  7. Woohoo! 10 weeks!!! Oh yes, the constipation of pregnancy. For me, Fiber One bars always do the trick. And if it gets really bad, a swig of Milk of Magnesia (fine for pregnancy) makes things work within about 12 hours. Good luck!
