14 Weeks Bump.

Hello there, hugely-obvious-bump. Where did you suddenly appear from?

After my pondering on my last bump post if my Hyperemesis was improving, it turns out it's not. It simply is a good combination of medication. After a few days of reducing doses, I could feel the nausea creeping back in. It's disappointing - all I want is to be able to enjoy my pregnancy - but the silver lining is that the medication is helping. I've read of so many women recently who struggle right through to 40 weeks, having tried numerous different remedies, none with great success. At least I can get some relief. And the one thing that seems to have improved is the early days exhaustion. I can now get through a normal day without needing to nap when John does (although I do still indulge in a mid-afternoon snooze from time to time - sue me!).

I'm also pretty sure I'm feeling the start of some movement, although not full force punches and kicking just yet. It's still a nice little reminder that there's actually someone growing in there. Second pregnancies are definitely different from first, in that I need to really think about when people ask how far along I am. Gone are the days of counting the hours until my due date & knowing what vegetable my baby is comparable to each week. In all honesty, if the app on my phone didn't flash up once a week, I'd be none-the-wiser.
