Week 7-8
I had a "booking in" appointment booked which was a complete disaster as the receptionist only booked a 15 min slot instead of the required hour. The midwife then tried to fob me off with stories of not booking in until 10-12 weeks and the GP should do it - complete rubbish! She eventually put me on the system but we have to go back to "book in" properly on 17th September once she is back from her holiday (which is also our wedding anniversary).
The sickness really continued this week, but again, this was a good sign things were doing well so I honestly can't complain.
Weeks 8-9
The sickness started to ease up this week although I still had a few run to the bathroom moments. I think it is just more manageable now because I have a little routine with food that helps. I have cereal when I get up, then fruit when I get to work, I have a sandwich late morning and then soup at lunchtime, a snack in the afternoon and then my dinner. I am not really eating more than I would I am just spreading it out into little portions.
I also started to crave marmite sandwiches this week!
We got the date through for our 12 week scan - 30th September
I do have a slight bump/podge, which I think is partly due to my ovaries being swollen from the IVF. I have posted a little pic below taken at 8w2d (sorry for the crap quality). Once I have a "proper" bump I will get Rick to take better photos to post.
As usual love and baby dust to all xxx
