This week I have had a really bad cough and infection in my right eye (conjuctivitis). The pharmacist said I can't take any cold medication and gave me some glycerin which will only soothe it but not cure. I'm so glad it's Friday today!!! I have 4 weeks left at work until maternity leave :D Some pregnancy points this week:
1) I am super hungry these days, it is like my hunger levels have quadrupled! It seems I am forever in Tesco/Boots buying food and having to think ahead about situations where I may need to stock up on food beforehand eg the train ride home. But funnily enough although I eat a lot during the day, during the evening I don't have that eating urge and so after dinner i don't eat and just go to bed!
2) Baby's movements have changed this week! I noticed I have been having different feelings of movement (not kicks). I wonder if they are hiccups?? Not sure what those feel like yet! I only got those signature kicks last night as I was reciting Surah Mulk before bed!
3) Pelvic pain!! My God this is painful! It seems to have increased, I guess due to the baby growing and putting more pressure on everything.
4) Bump size has only slightly increased in the last month! Although this is a blessing in disguise as I can sleep comfortably for a little while longer!
5) Leg cramps waking me up in the night! Excruciating! But anything's better than being sick. (although I have stopped being sick since about 16 weeks, I had it once again at 21 weeks!)
So I am 25 weeks now mashaAllah and despite aches and pains it's a big blessing :-) Apparently around
this stage the baby's eyes may open and it is practicing 'breathing' amniotic fluid through its lungs. It's really amazing. 3D scan is booked for 10th JUNE Inshallah, can't wait!!
