hey everyone, thought i would start my very own pregnancy journal since i found this section today...

my name is ellie, im 24 and i found out on 19th may i was 5 weeks pregnant, atm im 12+5, due 19th january 09...very much looking forward to being in my second trimester the baby's dad is 20, were both at uni, im in second year, hes in third, im planning on staying on because i have worked hard to get here and i dont want to just sack it all off at the first hurdle

i havent really had many symptoms so far, no morning sickness at all, i had one morning where i thought i was going to be sick but it was just because i had a big glass of water downed on an empty stomach haha and my belly didnt like it apparently, apart from that i only had a few days of feeling sick, i mostly felt really tired and i still do, oh and i get dizzy sometimes, ive been so lucky with preg symptoms

had my first scan at 11 weeks and she said everything was great, i check for the heartbeat every couple of days though with my doppler, have been able to hear the heartbeat since 9 weeks and it reassures me so much cos i have been really paranoid for some reason, this is my first pg aswell so theres no reason for me to think things might go wrong, im just paranoid haha

anyway, im not sure what else to say...so i'll leave it there lol

Thanks for the notes...

Glad to see you have started a journal so I can leave notes for you :Hugs:

no prob hun, thanks for replying to mine

not so happy today, have just had a bit of a strop on bf, i asked him to get me the mirror from the bedroom and he went in, saw it wasnt exactly where he thought it was, and called me to ask where it was, bear in mind our bedroom is tiny, if he wouldve just bloody looked around he wouldnt have been able to miss it, but no, he wanted me to get up, even though ive told him i feel dizzy today, and go and bloody find it because he is useless...i locked myself in the bathroom and cried lmao but seriously, i just feel he has been winding me up since i got up this morning, i didnt get much sleep cos i havent been able to sleep much lately, i used to be able to sleep for days but these days im lucky if i get half a night...so i have sent him into the bedroom and i am in the front room now cos tbh i just didnt want to look at him anymore, he tried to make me feel better, well, i say tried, he didnt say anything, he rubbed my arm...wow! i felt so much better haha...i know this is difficult for him but i also know its more difficult for me, i should be able to rely on im and instead i have to look after him like he is a toddler

lol, congrats on your pregnancy but as to OH get used to it lol. Your going to be noticing more and more how completely childish, immature and frankly useless the guys can be. I swear they expect us to sit them on our knee and sing em nursery rhymes sometimes. Good luck.

haha great, i cant wait for that :P

well im a bit happier today, me and bf sorted out our argument yesterday but i dont know how long it will be till it all kicks off again

i feel really really weak though today, i dont know whats wrong with me, ive pretty much slept all day, its half three now and ive just got up and i feel so weak, i dont wanna walk around cos i seriously feel like im gna fall over haha, i think its prob just my iron levels so..red meat tonight lol, we'll see anyway, im gna have to go to docs if it doesnt go away

oh..i got a bloody splinter in my bum last night! that was fun haha, i was putting my jama bottoms on and i felt this stinging so i panicked and thought there was a scorpion in my pants...as you do...ripped my pants off and lay on the bed with my legs open, smear test stylee, with my bf checking to see what it was haha, anyway it was a bloody splinter, god knows how it got into my jamas but anyway, i wasnt impressed haha

nothing else is new really, im 13 weeks today woohoo! only 3 more days till i am on the next baby 1st trimester has gone by sooo quickly, it felt slow at the time but really, its flown by, now lets hope i can say the same for second and third haha

i keep really freaking out at the thought that im going to have a baby in 6 months, i mean, ive wanted a baby since i was 16 but now its really happening and im a bit nervous, not in the ''ohh no i dont want a baby now'' way, just in a ''SHIT! am i gna be able to do this'' kinda way, i guess that happens to everyone though right?

ooh 13+2, my ticker changes tomorrow woohoo haha, i cant wait to be on the 4th baby!! not much else has happened yet, ooh yesterday i got loads of nappy samples and vouchers and stuff so that was great, and i got a letter of my best mate who i hardly ever see so that was good too...not much else has happened, i havent been feeling that good so ive hardly left the house, like i dont feel sick or anything, just really weak and dizzy still...i think its my glasses u know cos i am used to contacts but they hurt atm so ive been wearing my glasses and im not used to seeing through them, they seem different to my contacts, either stronger or weaker im not actually sure haha

Welcome over to the journals and congrats on your pregnancy!!

thanks hun x
