Bump Pic! 19 Weeks!

I feel like Bump has really popped this week and become more rounded! I feel a bit more confident in the way I look now, as I think you can see I am ion fact pregnant, and not just podgy!

I haven’t felt Baby B moving very much since my first flutters last week, apart from one evening when I was laying down and felt what I thought was another flutter.



Thing is, I know that my placenta is anterior and because of that, it will be cushioning some of baby’s movement and kicks, so I may not feel proper movement for a few more weeks yet. Boo!

Skin is still pretty bad, though at the moment (touch wood) I haven’t had any more HUGE ones developing, I’m just working on trying to get rid of the ones that are still plaguing me!


It’s my 20 week scan next week and I am EXTREMELY excited, if a little apprehensive too- I hope all is Ok and well!

Bump Pic! 18 Weeks 1 Day!

Bump is continuing to grow at a good rate, I felt him/her move for the first time at 18 weeks exactly (Read about this HERE) and I'm feeling good, apart from a god awful break out of spots.

I'm talking, really bad, cystic acne.




I'm still sort of at the stage where I feel podgy and fat rather than pregnant, and that coupled with my AWFUL skin is making me feel extremely self conscious.

I know it's hormonal as I only ever get them on my chin, and it doesn't matter how good I eat or how thoroughly I cleanse, they keep appearing.

The cystic ones last for bloody AGES too!

I'm going to do a separate post on my battle with this hormonal chin acne when I can pluck up the courage to post a photo of it in all its awful 'glory'! 

Gah! Hormones have a LOT to answer for!
