Pregnancy Update: Week 14 (Baby #5)
Happy New Year, everyone! Here I am in the second trimester. Things are finally starting to move along. Perhaps we'll talk with my midwife about scheduling an ultrasound soon. Here's my update for 14 weeks!
Due date: June 30th
How far along: 14 weeks, 2 days
Next appointment: January 10th
Gender: Unknown
Total weight gain/loss: Pretty sure I haven't gained any yet since the morning sickness is just letting up.
Stretch marks: Only what already exists ;)
Swelling: None
Maternity clothes: Out for the comfort of them, but I live in sweatpants anyway. ;)
Belly button: Too early for that
Sleep: I've been sleeping a ton this week since I've been down with the flu.
Food cravings: Cherry tomatoes
Symptoms: Nothing new other than I think I'm starting to show a bit.
Movement: I was just thinking today that I've felt a couple of twinges here and there. A fifth time mom knows. ;)
Labor signs: Too early for that.
What I miss: Being able to reach things up high. My husband has banned me from that. Lol.
What I'm loving: Being in the second trimester. The pregnancy feels "real" now.
What I'm looking forward to: My next prenatal appointment is coming up soon. I always enjoy going to see my midwife.
Best moment this week: I don't have to take Unisom every day to keep the sickness at bay. I think it's gone officially! *knock on wood*
Loved my second trimesters. That first baby flutter is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had a midwife too, loved it. I did a home birth, it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis will be our second home birth. :)
DeleteMy second trimesters were the best when I was pregnant with each of my boys. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYou're craving cherry tomatoes?! What a healthy craving! LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope your next appointment with your midwife goes well - it must be so exciting.
ReplyDeleteMy pregnancies were rough with morning sickness. It never really ended for me. I always wished for a home birth.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your sickness seems to be at bay and things are moving along well.
ReplyDeleteCherry tomatoes sounds like something I would have craved! I was all about pasta with fresh, chunky tomato sauces.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you! That is very exciting. Gotta love babies. Amber N
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me miss pregnancy! The second trimester was my fave and it was incredible. I'm jealous of the home birth. If I ever do it again I want one for sure!
ReplyDeleteSweat pants really are comfy. :) Sounds like things are moving right along, and a big hurrah for it!
ReplyDeleteThis week I've made it week 25+ 4 days. I feel huge, This kid is a ninja, and it's my second little boy:) I miss margaritas I've wanted one so bad for the last 20 weeks
ReplyDeleteMy poor sisters had morning sickness so bad. It's so great you are over that.
ReplyDeleteI am always intrigued by home births,,,,although I have 10 siblings and we were all born at home except the last one. Good luck with your pregnancy
ReplyDeleteGreat things are coming for 2015! How exciting for you. Glad that you are feeling better and the nausea and vomiting has pretty much passed and you no longer need meds for that.
ReplyDeleteI am craving cherry tomatoes too, and I'm not even pregnant :) Hope this trimester goes smoothly for you!
ReplyDeleteI love your pregnancy updates. Pregnancy is such a cool thing despite the MS and I really enjoy when people share their journey's with us. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAll sounds great! I always felt so much better when I went into my 2nd trimester. We have 5 too!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you and your family! I don't remember ever wanting cherry tomatoes when I was pregnant with my son lol
ReplyDeleteI had terrible morning sickness with my second pregnancy. I hope you start to feel better over that soon.
ReplyDeleteI am sad to hear you have been sick with the flu. It's good that you are getting rested up and doing well with your pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteGood and best of luck for your pregnancy :)
ReplyDeleteThe second trimester is so fun. You feel the baby move, the nausea is gone and you are not to big that it is uncomfortable to move around.
ReplyDeleteI had a midwife with one of my pregnancies, but all were in the hospital. Super excited for you girl!
