There are a lot of old wives' tales out their to predict baby gender, the internet is full of crazy ones! I have seen Chinese prediction charts based on the mother's age and when the baby is due, others about the cravings you have, shape of your bump and pendulum tests, and a hell of a lot more!
This is a diary of my first pregnancy, in the most blunt and honest form possible. Some may call it pessimistic in places, but I prefer the term 'realistic'. I got a huge shock when I began experiencing a number of the symptoms of pregnancy as I don't feel a lot of it is publicised, so felt I wanted to help other women be more prepared than me! I am from the UK, but I imagine some of my issues will be the same worldwide!

The 12 Week Scan
I thought I would write about my first ever scan that took place a couple of weeks ago, as so far it has been the best experience of my rollercoaster pregnancy.
That particular day was my worst ever in terms of sickness, as from 6am to 2pm, I could not even keep down two sips of water and I felt so drained and unwell from the dehydration it was ridiculous. So it was not the start of the day that I had been dreaming about for the last 12 weeks!

Get Out the Party Poppers, I'm Starting to Feel HUMAN Again!
"CEEEEEEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!"
For the last couple of days, I have begun to have some more energy, and I am loving it!
I am now 14 weeks and 3 days along, so it must be true what they say- between week 12 -14, you begin to feel a bit better.
Sure I'm still puking randomly and having cramps here and there (and let's not mention sodding heartburn!) but I no longer feel like a zombie, so have managed the odd walk with the dogs and a tiny bit more housework so feel more able to deal with it.

My First Trimester (0-12 weeks)
0-4 Weeks
I found out I was pregnant on what doctors term the 4th week (they take it by the date of your last period rather than the date of conception). At that point I was incredibly excited and scared at the same time. It was the morning of my third anniversary with my partner, and I had to take three tests before believing it.
The hardest part for me was keeping it to myself until I saw him for our anniversary dinner! Me being me, there was no way I could hold it in for even an hour, so popped in to see him on my way to work and gave him the shock of his life!
