We're both cautiously excited right now about me being pregnant. Thankfully I've not been suffering from any nausea so far, just mild headaches, sore and ever-expanding breasts and a little sleeplessness. My sense of smell has definitely become more acute which can be awful when travelling on public transport in particular.
I've also experienced mild cramping, particularly in the morning from time to time.
Unfortunately, this morning would have to be the worst pregnancy-related problem I've experienced so far. I woke from a deep sleep with extreme pain in my lower abdomen and sever cramping. I became clammy and cold and could not walk and struggled to reach the bathroom. My poor husband called for help and the nurse on the end of the phone talked him through how to look after me. The episode lasted about thirty minutes before the pain went. There has been no bleeding thankfully but I have had to take the day off work and was instructed to visit the doctor asap. What a nightmare!
We have our six week scan on Monday so hopefully we will be able to see a heartbeat for the first time.
