For the last 2 mornings I haven't had sickness at all! This is worrying me a bit, I'd rather feel awful and confident that everything is alright. However, by late afternoon I've been feeling really rough. I have been exhausted and achy and I lack energy. I have had sickness occasionally but it is really easing off!
This pregnancy seems quite different because my sickness doesn't usually calm down until about the 10th week.
I am going to phone the doctors this week and get an appointment with the midwife soon.
I considered opting out of the scans this time because of the stressful build up. I was dreading them even before I was pregnant.
I have been wondering about the effects having a scan would have on the children. I was trying to justify not having them by saying that I have to consider whether going to have scans this time will remind the children of when we lost the last baby, and be a traumatic experience for them, however, in reality it was me that was dreading the scans. Although I'm not sure why because it isn't the scans that caused the babys death!
We have discussed this and decided that the scan can't come soon enough. Not only will it be reassuring to see that everything is ok. But also I always quite like seeing the tiny baby on screen. Also it helps the children to understand that I'm growing another person who will end up just like them!
