This week has been fairly quiet, I have been keeping a low profile, mostly due to the ongoing migraine. I was able to get some relief after a visit to my Chinese Massage Therapist for some ear candling & head, face & neck massage, then home for steam inhalation.
Anxiety increased this week with the lessening of my symptoms, after 3 prior losses its hard to not over-analyse everything. My breasts were not as sore but still fuller & more tender than normal & the nausea had all but gone.
I think it was more of a case of the migraine surpassing everything else. Once the migraine was gone, back came the sore boobs & the nausea was back with a vengance.
Whilst the nausea is constant (like sea sickness all day & night - worse in the afternoons & evenings) & is really draining, it is also reassuring. Whilst I have these symptoms there remains hope that things are progressing.
I still don't sleep through the night - only a few hours at a time then I HAVE to get up to pee.
The anxiety is still there especially since I have my furst ultrasound in 2 days (Wednesday 29th October). I am scared yet excited at the same time. I may get to see my baby for the first time & should hear the heartbeat, but then there is also the possibility (as past experiences have proven) that it may not be good news at all. But I am trying to remain positive & calm - this is the one, this baby will be healthy, normal & I will carry to term.
My Baby
I'm Tiny But Gaining Fast! The baby is about 1/3 of an inch, the size of a grain of rice. Development of the arms and legs continue although the fingers and toes haven't yet formed. The brain is growing as well as the lenses of the eyes, nostrils, intestines, pancreas and bronchi.
