Ok so technically it’s week 4 by the time you find out.

Just like with the last one it was a bit of a challenge.

There was migraines that lasted days and a few trips to maternity just to get checked. All was healthy and happy and “normal” or whatever you want to use to describe it.

I think the challenge really came from the nausea. After having hyperemesis during the last pregnancy from start to finish and then of course gallstone attacks I developed Emetophobia. Which put simply is the fear of throwing up. So I had a fair few anxiety attacks from morning sickness. Went straight on meds and it looks like that is the only way to live an almost normal existence.

We tried to keep the news as quiet as possible while still trying to have a support network of immediate family as it was high risk wanting to keep things private was really important.

Even though kiddo knew. But that was a bit unavoidable she is smart as hell.

That’s the brief diary for ya.
