On Monday I had my Nuchal Fold, or 12 week scan. After an hour long wait to be seen, I was finally taken in for an hour long scan! It was an absolutely amazing experience. I know I said that after the last scan where I could see a little blob of human tissue, but this was something else all together. Immediately visible was a little head, two legs, two arms and a tiny little body. Every twenty seconds or so, my baby bounced up and down inside me as if he had hiccup that were just too big for him! (I say him, but it could be her!) The bounce caused the baby to do little flip-flops inside the fluid sac the baby grows in. It was so funny to witness, I kept laughing out loud and the doctor kept looking at me strangely. I eventually had to tell him that he might look at this all day, but to me it is the first ‘thing’ my child has ever done. I was moved by it!

Hospitalisation – Hyperemesis Gravidarum
When a doctor tells you that you’re okay, and perhaps just need to suck on some ginger, you think, “Ok… let me buy some ginger”. In the case of Dr.W however, I am pleased so say that I was right and he was oh so wrong.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum
I have not written anything in a while. Not because there’s nothing to write, but because once things are down in black and white, it becomes impossible to take them back. If said, you can always deny the charge, but once written they stay written forever.
