We have been to see the midwife this morning for the first time. We actually saw two midwifes as one was being "shown how things work" - hmmm worrying?!! Anyway after an hour of taking blood and other bodily fluids and discussions on diet and exercise we left knowing not much more than when we went in. She has informed the hospital that I will be needing a 12-week scan and we are to expect an appointment in the post. I was a bit deflated when we left the Midwife. I had thought we would learn something new, maybe a due date, but it is far too early for that yet. I have invested in some Folic Acid tablets, which the midwife suggested I take once a day. They are HUGE and I cannot break them in half, it's like swallowing a small grape! I may have to shop around for smaller size ones once this packet has run out.
I have been doing some reading on the development of the baby, and he/she is now 8-10mm. Very exciting! I cannot wait to track how it develops. I find it all so amazing.
Morning sickness is still hitting me hard, and I have a ready supply of ginger biscuits in my desk to stave off the symptoms. No cravings as yet but I am hungry and tired all the time, no sleep is enough. David thinks this is the norm for me as I love my sleep anyway but even I can tell I'm sleeping a lot more than normal!
