13 weeks today... POP?! 💥

Hello ladies, wanted to say hello as I’m excited to be in this group, my second trimester started today...

I’ve been TTC nearly 11 years will all the treatments, procedures and whatever you can imagine not working, including IVF. Actually threw in the towel and gave up about 2 months before we somehow 🤷🏼‍♀️ conceived this surprise 🌈 👶🏻 and found out at 6 weeks just after we came back from visiting my dad in Cornwall and then our anniversary get away to Thorpe Park - so this little miracle sticky-bean is already quite the well travelled little rollercoaster cruiser!

I’ve had no real symptoms whatsoever. I’ve had insomnia since the IVF meds 2 years ago and work 6 days weeks, 9-10 hour shifts on my feet so I’m always tired. Thinking about it, maybe I have been drowsy too which wouldn’t normally happen? Also been a bit gassy and bloated but I have IBS - so again, not a major change for me 🙈

In fact, I’ve been a bit anxious sometimes cause I still don’t feel pregnant and I’m not sure I really believe it as I can’t feel “Wiggly” (our pet name for him/her) moving - I have seen Wiggly dancing and tumbling though on the scans. I’m thankful I’m not ill but at the same time it might help convince me, if that makes sense?

Well yesterday evening I bought some amaaaazing smelling shampoo and conditioner - made with “Blue Ginger” apparently and could not wait to take a shower! Honestly, I could have eaten the stuff it smelled that good!

Caught myself in the mirror and all of a sudden I seem to have swallowed a beach ball! Hoping this is the start of my bump and maybe feeling movement soon and being able to convince myself there’s a very wriggly little baby in there!

I ran back to my bedroom to show off to my husband 🤰🏼 and then had to run back to the bathroom cause he wanted to do more than just look 🍆 🤣 😏
