Time for a bump pic :) Here I am at 30 Weeks pregnant...
This was taken a few days ago (in Lanzarote!)and believe it or not my bump has grown considerably since then. I'm working on my 31 weeks post tomorrow!
I have to say, being pregnant on holiday is easier than I thought. Here is a little pregnancy update.
Maternity Clothes - Hell no! My shorts are from last Summer (topshop). I borrowed the top from my mum, I raided her Summer wardrobe before I left. She loves empire line tops and they suit here, she's a ruler shape so it works out well for me bump wise. I didn't bring any maternity clothes with me. Think I'm still in denial :)
Sunshine/Heat - Does wonders for the soul doesn't it. I haven't been too warm or anything. Thought I would be dying with the heat. I have been lounging around the beach and drinking tonnes of water.
Appetite/weight- Useless. I was starving in my third trimester last time round. Struggling a little this time. Nausea has become a normal part of life these days. My weight hasn't changed too much in the last few weeks. I have been walking a lot here though so that accompanied by evening nausea and lack of appetite are making it difficult.
Movement - This bus is less wriggly than Eve was :) She moved none stop and was very strong. She is the exact same now at 14 months. This baba is a little more chilled I think.
Health Issues - I was sent away with a pack of protein test samples to check for protein in urine and also a blood pressure monitor since I had pre-eclampsia last time round. I wasn't expecting any action but low and behold 4 days ago protein started to climb. There was +3 yesterday, not so good. Bp was also pre-high (120/89) yesterday. Legs swell up like balloons, right to me knee by evening and face was swollen this morning but has since gone down. I'm thinking a visit to the doc might be in order. Really don't want to.
How is everyone??
Amy you look great! :) I was hoping you'd do a holiday post, I'm heading to Portugal in August when I'll be 27wks. Been worrying about how I'll cope with the heat & the extra weight too. What did you end up doing bikini wise?
ReplyDeleteI'm a little jealous of how amazing you look... I didn't look near that good when I was pregnant! ;) I hope your protein levels drop so that you'll have a comfortable and safe rest of the pregnancy. Any chance of seeing another pregnancy video sometime soon? ;)
