Hello Lau,

Just thought I would stop by and see how you are doing? I know I have seen a photo of you and have to say how wonderful you looked.

Is all on track?

Luv

Hiya Shell

Yes everything is fine. I was 19 weeks on Saturday. Still waiting to feel baby move though!!! I felt Jazmine at 20 weeks so was hoping to have felt this one by now but nothing yet. I have been listening to the heartbeat on my monitor and its lovely. I try not to do it too often though.

Im looking forward to my next scan on the 4th May. I will have another 2 after that aswell. I have a high BMI so they want to keep an eye on the babys development and check i dont get gestational diabetes aswell. Iv got to have a special blood test in June where i cant eat anything from 10pm the night before, i have my first blood test at 9.15am then wait an hour, drink a sugary drink and have my blood taken again then wait another hour and have it taken again!!!! Not looking forward to sitting round the hospital waiting all that time but it has to be done.

Have also got an appointment on the 10th May to see the aneashatist (SP) with regards to my c section and the fear i have in having another one. They want me to talk through my experience and discuss any issues. I am hoping and praying to have a natural as i dont want to go through another c section as i feel i felt too much but this is what i have to discuss with the doctor.

I have my next MW appoinment at 26 weeks. So lots of appointments and that going on!!Lol

Am starting to feel movement Im so happy, it all comes flooding back when i first felt Jazmine. It is such a magical feeling and whenever i feel something it makes me smile. Have just been sitting at my desk with my tummy pressed up against the side and felt a few movements, it was lovely
