Baby is the size of a Spaghetti (?!) Squash.
I forgot my 21 week update, I shall blame it on baby brain so thought I'd combine the last couple of weeks together. I have taken a recent bump picture but I have to apologise for the poor quality as my husband was out on his Christmas do and I had no one else to take it! I don't think it is a great picture of my bump either but you can sort of make out the pregnancy podge that I am developing!
The past couple of weeks I have been feeling ok but the last few days I have been having several bouts of dizziness and my blood pressure has been a little low which may account for that. Tonight when putting Alfie to bed and turning the light off I had a huge dizzy spell and had to cling on to the wall for a few seconds while it passed, not ideal! Slightly concerning when I drive around during the day!
Baby is roughly around 8 inches in length and weighing around 1lb at the moment and continues to make rapid developments. It is beginning to look more like a newborn baby with lips, eyelids and eyebrows starting to become more distinct.The eyes have formed but the irises of the eye lack pigment.
I am still not feeling massive amounts of movement but it is starting to increase daily, it is such a shame that I have an anterior placenta as my husband hasn't yet been able to feel the little one yet. The movements are very different to when I was carrying Alfie, the midwife reassured me that once baby grows bigger I'll definitely be feeling like I'm being kick boxed from the inside!
I have finally started to buy a few bits and pieces, I have purchased a beautiful moses basket as we borrowed one the first time round, I have also bought some new bottles and some gorgeous new babygro's which I can't wait to see the little one wearing! Still lots to buy and I'm sure last time I had was much more organised!
I will try and remember to do an update next week but in the meantime you can read my last update by clicking here.

What a lovely way to document your pregnancy, looking forward to future updates x
ReplyDeleteThankyou Stephanie! I look forward to documenting it too :-) x
DeleteCongratulations, you have a lovely little bump! Half way through your pregnancy, hope it all goes well! :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I'm anticipating getting rather large this time around! x
DeleteI have an anterior placenta as well and I don't think I started feeling proper movements until I was about 24 weeks and my other half could feel them from the outside then too. I'm 29 weeks now and feel her wriggling around like crazy! Xx

It's such a shame, the movements are so different this time I can't wait to see some bigger movements! x
