HOW BIG IS THE BABY?

Size of a cantaloupe melon 🍈 (about 26.7cm / weighing 360g)

WHATS NEW THIS WEEK?

This has been the biggest change for me physically this week. Feel really pregnant now.

Feeling super hot and hot flashes🙈 and my fingers/face looked a bit swollen.

I have really bad acne this week and my perioral dermatitis is flaring up🙈

Out of breath - Apparently my uterus growing is now pushing more on my lungs so that makes me feel out of breath.

Doc says I have an anterior placenta so don’t feel kicks as strongly but I still feel them real good.

Itchy tummy ... I guess from stretching/growing?

Red little dots on tummy.

MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT

I’ve been feeling really OCD about organising things and upset when things aren’t all tidy and organised for baby.

Little to no energy, I’ve been really lethargic and exhausted.

My hips have been aching a lot more and been getting pains in my legs and a stitch like feeling in my tummy especially when I wake up at night.

Heartburn...

I really miss my mom so much and my hormones have been all over the place this week. I’ve cried quite a few times and got really emotional 😭

MOST EXCITING MOMENT

Definitely seeing our healthy baby at the 20 week scan. Been feeling high ever since.

Rewatching the videos from the scan and just feeling so excited.

Also started getting the baby room ready, little bit little. It’s been so good.
