12 Weeks!

I can't believe I have made it to 12 weeks it seemed like a goal I was never going to reach especially with all the little bumps in the road we have had to get here! I really do want to savour this moment im 12 weeks and STILL pregnant I feel so blessed. Im still being sick every morning and feel sick most days although from 11 weeks I have noticed that not every day is so bad so im hoping that im coming through that stage.  Im so ready for the nice parts of pregnancy the bump, feeling baby move and finding out the gender. These are stages that seemed so far away like i'd never ever get there but now I feel so close! I have my NT scan on Tuesday im so nervous for it I've seen baby with a strong heartbeat twice now but I can't help but worry about bad news on the day im praying so hard my little baby is still growing strong and I can breathe a sigh of relief and maybe start to enjoy this pregnancy all the worry sometimes overshadows how incredibly happy I am I guess it's just a self preservation thing to hold back a little.

We went away for a few days this week we went to Center Parcs with my family.  We had a wonderful time and it was a much needed break although as ever nothing can go without a little drama typical! On Tuesday night I had a fall and fell flat on my face! It would have been hilarious if I weren't pregnant and as I landed on my stomach even though my knees and arms broke the fall I couldn't help but worry.  I wasn't in any pain and hadn't had any bleeding, none that was connected to the fall only the usual spotting I get now and again. So I decided not to rush off to a Nottingham hospital and spend the night there instead I thought I would contact my midwife in the morning and ask for advice on what I should do.  She was really helpful she contacted the hospital and spoke to the Dr for me and they said that as my stomach didn't take the impact baby is well protected and should be ok but as im Rhesus negative and 12 weeks pregnant I should go to the hospital for an Anti D injection just to be safe it needed to be within 72 hours of the fall so we had to leave Center Parcs a day early.  Im just glad to know I did everything I could and that baby should be ok.  I just need to get to Tuesday to see baby again to get the reassurance I need.
