According to 'What to expect when you are expecting' there are some typical symptoms that go hand in hand with the first trimester.
- It may feel as if there's no way my belly can get any bigger - (actually my belly doesn't really feel that big right now.......... I mean there can be days of discomfort, but for the best part it feels ok).
- By week 31 of pregnancy (we are almost there) we are told that baby can now get signals from all five senses, perceiving light and dark, tasting what I am eating (this I try really hard to be aware of), and listening to the sound of my voice (hmmmm - I should keep it down then ;).
- Growth may be up to an inch in week 33 alone (eek - I am guessing space will start to feel cramped then). I guess this leads to some serious kicks and pokes for me. So far those kicks and pokes have been cute! I am wondering when that will stop.......... she seems to be most active after I eat or workout, but we haven't seen any major movement yet - just felt it!
- By week 34 I guess she starts her downward journey and will start to go head down (we hope)
- By week 36 I might be feeling super fed up at this point and that goes for baby girl too, given that she is hopefully gaining weight too.
- By week 38 they say I only have 2 weeks to go (so lets hope ;), and she starts to lose that hairy coat and vernix.
- By week 39 I might find myself waddling - I am curious how I am going to waddle my way up and down the hill to class and back (yup - I will still be teaching at this point). Although my good friend Louise has told me that I am not allowed to waddle!.
- By week 40 we are told to just go with it! ;)
Other things
- I haven't had any Braxton Hicks contractions yet.
- I have noticed that my calf's want to cramp up through the night (I wake up trying to stretch them). This is weird for me because I have never really had cramps before, even with all the exercise I have done.
- I haven't noticed anything else out of the ordinary yet, but I will be sure to keep you all informed
- I am back to peeing constantly!
