5 weeks pregnant
ADVERTISING
Yes, I’ve just found out that I’m five weeks pregnant after trying to have my second child for over two years. I was (and still am) in shock because to be honest I thought I couldn’t get pregnant again. So I had to stare at those two lines on the pregnancy test to make sure I wasn’t seeing things.
And of course I had to take another test the next day ‘just to be sure’.
So it looks like this really is it.
Right now I’m feeling quite good. I was feeling a bit queasy over the past few days but today I’m doing well. All the pregnancy books that I’m reading are saying that the baby is about 2mm in length at 5 weeks pregnant. Of course I had to get the ruler out so I could see that for myself.
My first child (who I also had trouble conceiving) is very demanding so it will be interesting to see how he copes with the new arrival in 35 weeks. 35 weeks. Wow, that sounds so close.
Surprisingly I can’t remember much about my first pregnancy so writing in this blog should be a good way to keep track of how I’m feeling and the changes in my life being pregnant.
We are in the middle of renovating as well as we had planned to fix this place up and find somewhere else to live. So now I’m not sure whether we should continue or wait until after the baby is born. I really don’t want to be amongst paint fumes and cleaning products while I’m pregnant, but this place is very tiny so on the other hand I don’t know where we are going to put the baby.
I’ve booked my obstetrician (you have to get in early here) and the hospital as well. My first appt isn’t until 11 weeks though.
