So last week my hubby took me away to Paris for 5 days. We absolutely love our holidays, this time last year we were in Miami and Vegas but unfortunately not this year due to being pregnant. I feel anxious about flying generally as it is and would not cope well with being pregnant and flying. Since that pilot flew that plane into the mountain I am terrible even more with flying. So we went on the Eurostar train to Paris. It was a lovely break and so warm, few negatives were that so many french people smoke and my husband was forever getting us to move tables as he didn’t want me inhaling the smoke! Then all the lovely champagne and wine and I couldn’t have any of it (bad times). My gorgeous baby is worth it though. We just visited the tourist areas, ate lots of food and talked about sweetpea (baby) helluva lot. I would get tired from walking around, yes I know I am only 16 weeks pregnant but I honestly was exhausted by the afternoon.
Returned from holiday this Sunday and have been back to work last few days, its like we never went away (typical)!
Had my 16 week midwife appointment which was making me very anxious as we hear babies heartbeat and I wanted to make sure baby was okay. So off we went today husband in tow, as I arrived I remembered I forgot to bring a urine sample!!! Tried going to the toilet and a dribble came out – thankfully it was enough. They said my urine was +1 with protein. That worries me as I don’t want to get preeclampsia and also I suffered with many urine infections last few years so I worry whether it will affect me during pregnancy. Also weirdly I had a hospital appointment turn up last week for the urologist, nurses can’t tell me who booked it and whats it for! Not very good so I will have to wait until the appointment.
Anyway midwife told me it might take time to find heartbeat and not to get anxious as she knows that I suffer with anxiety. She also said baby should have moved up now to the bottom of my stomach out of my pelvis, as soon as she put the monitor on my belly you heard babies heartbeat straight away. I giggled and sweetpea ran to the other side so they had to find it again. It was lovely hearing its heartbeat and reminded me how much we adore it already.
Hubby talks to it every single days about 3/4 times since we discovered I am pregnant, kisses it tells it about how much mommy and daddy love it.
Walked out of doctors with our hearts filled with more love than we thought was possible….
