I'm really not quite sure why I have waited so long to even announce that I am pregnant but good news guys, I AM PREGNANT!
I have finally decided to take the time to tell you guys about my pregnancy and I will also show you my scans that I have had too. I had my first scan on the 23rd April 2014. When I went to this scan I wasn't really that excited but after the scan it all became so real because up until then I really didn't feel pregnant or that there is a little one even inside of me. After the scan I come to believe it all.
My journey throughout my pregnancy has actually been really good. When I was about 2 months I had 2 weeks of weakness and within that 2 weeks I had 5 days in total where I was sick all day long so I couldn't eat much but I still ate though. After them 2 weeks I was totally fine and back to normal. I feel as though I had a very lucky escape and I still haven't been unwell. I hope I'm not jinxing myself writing this.
During Ramadan I did fast because I was totally well to do so and to be honest during ramadan I felt more energetic. I felt thirsty and hungry but thats absolutely normal and I always feel that way every year. The only issue I had during ramadan was severe back pains. After I would eat at iftar (sunset time) my back pain would kick off badly and I did need to get loads of pillows and rest my back but it was still really bad but other than that alhamdulillah this ramadan was the best I've had so far.
After about 4 months of pregnancy I felt a little pain and I didn't know what it was. I still have that pain and I did ask my midwife what that pain was and it turns out to be a common pain. It's basically where my left rib is and on that particular area the babies bone is either rubbing against my rib or the baby is kicking me there. Now the pain has just gotten worse over the last few weeks and honestly speaking thats the only thing during my pregnancy that has felt the worst and is still there unfortunately. I'm guessing this pain will be there until birth now but it is a horrible pain that puts me down.
My 5 months scan was brilliant. I hadn't felt so happy in so long but during and after my scan the happiness just stayed with me. So my 5 months scan was on the 13th June 2014. Now on that day a few things happened so it was a total good day for me. During my scan I found out the sex of my child and WOW… the smile that is brings to your face is just enjoyable. I felt so so happy that I feel as though theres no word in the dictionary to describe that happiness. I guess those that are parents already or are to be parents and you find out the sex of your child then you'l be the one to know exactly what I mean. On that same day it was my brothers birthday. On that very same day my gorgeous Angel had given birth as well to two beautiful kittens. It's sad that I'm saying this but I had to give my kittens away only because it was getting too much for me to train the kittens to the litter box and feed them often. I just couldn't do it so I had to sadly give them away and I feel so sad about it :-(
Finally my bump is definitely getting bigger now and I feel tired quite quickly. The saddest part of this pregnancy is that I have put on an awful lot of weight and I have some ugly stretch marks but I'l just have to see to those problems after the birth now. So sorry to have blabbed on about my pregnancy but I thought ide quickly share how my journey has been so far. Oh by the way…this is the good part. I have started doing the baby shopping now and it is so exciting to be building my babies first wardrobe. I'm excited yet nervous about the actual day but I'm ready for it. I'm currently 8 months now and I'm due on the 1st Novemeber 2014 so less than 2 months to go now.
