Week 15 Pregnancy
WHAT WEEK?
15
HOW BIG IS THE BABY?
Size of an avocado 🥑 . (about 11.6cm / weighing 100g)
WHATS NEW THIS WEEK?
Headaches.
Dizzy lightheaded
Fatigue (still)
Increased thirst. Needing to wee at night too!
Feeling so hungry!! especially in the evening/night. Need to eat more during day. So I don’t binge on stuff at night.
Feeling very thirsty.
First week where morning sickness seems to have dissipated quite a bit. Only feeling fatigued now. And a bit down because of the situation in the country.
MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT
I think this week I just feel very isolated with the lockdown and I’m starting to feel very lonely and very sad wishing life could go back to normal. We’ve been isolated for the past 3/4 weeks and everyone has been away or on holiday so that’s been hard, but we need to put baby first and my health during pregnancy. I think I also had a bit of a tough week emotionally and mentally.
MOST EXCITING MOMENT
My tummy has REALLY popped out this week🙈🤣
STARTING WEIGHT?
59kg
CURRENT WEIGHT?
57.5
Just feeling a lot bigger/bloated 🤣
Lower tummy feels heavy and itchy
EXERCISE?
Back to walking most days.
Started doing some toning exercises (I’ve lost almost all my muscle tone in the past 12 weeks from not exercising)
Tried to jog and my pelvic floor felt really uncomfortable so I just stick to walking. I think during pregnancy you have to just listen to your body and what it feels comfortable doing.
MEALS?
Hot dogs (with chicken sausages)
Pizza.
FOOD AVERSIONS?
Salads
Meat
Otherwise I’m back to eating a lot.
CRAVINGS?
Ice!!!
Sweet stuff!
Paddle pop ice creams and fruity sorbet ice creams
And puff chips. (Again not healthy)
REFLECTIONS?
I cannot wait to meet our little babe and I keep wondering what she/he will be like. I go to sleep dreaming about it at night and I find myself drifting off in a haze thinking about it during the day sometimes. It’s such a miracle and no one can prepare you for the love you feel, from the very moment you know your baby is there.
I keep wondering what/who baby will be like, but it’s so strange, I already have this instinctual feeling that I know who it is and I know my baby already. I just know and can sense our souls together. I love you so much!!!!! And so does your daddy. I often put Trav’s hand on my belly and just drift off, so looking forward to the day I can feel baby really moving about in there. I think that will be such a comfort for me to feel him/her moving. If I’m really still and I focus, I can feel little butterflies/twinges that are very faint. But I’m so looking forward to feeling them more pronounced and being able to connect with baby.
I had quite a few naps and rested a lot.
My appetite has increased tenfold and I’ve put on a bit of weight! Which is to be expected by the second trimester.
