Pregnancy Week 14

Updated: Jan 13, 2021

Week 14 Pregnancy Vlog


WHAT WEEK?

14


HOW BIG IS THE BABY?

Size of a pear 🍐. (about 10.1cm / weighing 70g)


WHATS NEW THIS WEEK?

Feeling SOOOO HAPPY that I can finally relax a bit more and settle into my pregnancy because I’m finally in my 2nd trimester!!! I feel a lot more relaxed about it and not worried (as I’m sure all mums do during the 1st trimester). I feel like I can really start to embrace and enjoy everything a lot more and every twinge and pain doesn’t worry me, I know it’s just my uterus and baby growing inside me.

I can especially revel in the excitement now that its out in the open.

I’m so excited to be a mother! Ahh. I can’t explain it. I feel like I was always meant to be a mom and I can’t wait. (I’d probably have 5 kids if Trav would let me or if we won the lotto🤣). #dreamworld

Also...

Need to wee a lot during the night!

Still fatigued.

Can feel baby bump more and my placenta is protruding a bit and it's very hard.

Annnddd. My boobs have grown!:P


MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT

I had such a bad stomach bug for about 72 hours... my stomach was cramping soo much. Was a bit worried about dehydration and how that can affect baby! But all was okay!


MOST EXCITING MOMENT

New Years with hubby and watching a Harry Potter Marathon.

We also went to my dad's house while he is away to chill by the swimming pool - which felt really nice and "holiday-like".

Otherwise, lots of isolating!



STARTING WEIGHT?

59kg


CURRENT WEIGHT?

56.5kg


EXERCISE?

Nothing at all


MEALS?

Toast

And loads of carbs and sugar while sick. Energade, rehydrate and white toast.


FOOD AVERSIONS?

Everything while sick

But since feeling better I’m a lot more hungry - need to play catch up.


CRAVINGS?

Ice

Oranges

Gingerale

Popcorn

Rockshandy's

sweeties


REFLECTIONS?

Be tender on yourself.

Everyday during this pregnancy teaches me to slow down and be present.

I don’t actually need to do a million things in a day to have accomplished anything. I’m growing a human inside me and that’s a lot of work! Be gentle with yourself.
