*Cough Cough*

I have a cold, its sucks that I cant take antibiotics.
Im hoping that the baby is going to be alright, I've been taking Preg Vitamins, called elevit which are meant to be really good.
I have my appointment in 5 days, and then they will book a dating scan. I feel massive already. This is going to be one big baby! Lol

I am guessing I'm just about finished my first trimester, because of how big i am already. But it could just be growing ready for the baby. I dont know, i think I will do more research....

Anyway thats my update. :)

Boring... I guess this is an update...

I barely feel old enough for children yet. Im 20 but I look about 17. I gues i will mature when I need to.

Today was uneventful
1. got up to screaming partner who had smashed two glasses.
2. He left to help his dad out
3. I watched Juno... Halarious. But im definatly not adopting this baby out...
4. Swept the floor outside the caravan.
5. Played Pet Society on Facebook.

Im thinking of cleaning the inside of the caravn and then going through all the rubbish outside.
OMG I can heard my lil brother in law screaming his lungs out (He is almost 2) These are the sort of things that really put you off.

I found an interesting book, it had some really good info, but the woman was originally a full time working woman who quit to become a satyat home mum and she was really negetive about it, like it wasnt worth while doing, that she didnt feel equal to her partner.
I really dont ever want to work full time, I think I have found my calling as a mother, (even though I still feel too young) And Im definatly going to be a full time mum, that can be one of the hardest jobs out there.
Anyway I found a schedule this chick used on her new born. It was like feed the baby atfour hour intervals, or something. Of course you can compremise, but I think getting the child into a schedule early on is a great idea and I am going to give it a try, even though it will take some time for the baby to get used to. It said like 10pm, 2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm. I know it sounds like alot of work but babys are meant to be arnt they?
Also they had some rules for parents with newborns. I can only remember a few but it included like:
- never bring the baby into bed with you, coz it will become habit and you wont be able to get them out later on.
- alway put the baby to bed, awake but drowzy, never walk around waiting for your baby to fall alseep in your arms.
- Rest at every oportunity, coz, well, you'll defintly need it.

Anyway thats all the stuff I can think of at the moment. ciao. :)

WEEK 1

It was been one week since I have found out that im preggers, it has been a big shock and I am under alot of stress, especially when people in this house hold are giving me shit! Ok sooo maybe i am over-reacting a bit, but thats only because "apparently" my hormones are going all over the place. Anyway I'm 20, but look about 17, so alot of my realtive realise that im alot older than i look and have given me big lectures. i calmly tell them that i am 20 years old and am quite old enough to handle a baby, (just not sure if Im mature enough yet! Lol!)

Anyway, my plan for this pregnancy is to blog about my expiriences as a young mum and hopefully people can get some useful information out of this. Aswell I will be reading baby books and will be posting any helpful hints on here that I find, this might mean numerous blogs in one day and bugger all the next, since I will be feeling up and down throught this pregnancy. Also any tips i get from friends and family members i will post too no matter what the professionals say, just take any information you think to be sensible. Lol

Ok, atm I'm at least 6-7weeks, but i do reacon im about 9-10 weeks, and my appoinment with doc is on the 22nd. So when I'm there I think that I will most probably be around 12 weeks, at the end of the first trimester!

If you dont know about trimesters (like I did) I will explain:
A pregnancy is divided into three parts,and these parts are called trimesters. The first trimester is basically the little cell dividing and growing bigger and develops all its major body parts and organs around this time ,around the middle of this trimester the babys heartbeat starts, and nearing the end you should be able to hear it with a stethoscope. Also after this trimester most people start to tell everone about thier pregnancy, because it is past the time that miscarrige is most common. The second trimester you start to show a bit of the belly, this is where your belly will do most of its growing, because the baby is growing bigger and taking up more and more room. The pain that you will feel will have died down supposedly and you will feel your energy returning. (I can't WAIT till this stage!)

And the third trimester is the last, this is where the pain start to go again as the baby starts to move into position ready for birth! (oh great...) You will feel rushed and excited, because everything must be ready in the nursary but you will also be taking more frequent trips to the doctors for appoinments and doing a heap of all sorts of tests. I recon i would have fear because I'm freaking out about the birth.

And there you have it, that is just a very rough outline, so if you want more information you can go to www.ivillage.com and follow the linkto the pregnancy section, it has a week by week growth description and more, and also I have found a website www.ninemonths.com.au which is really good coz its based in Australia for us aussies, so you will get some more accurate infomation about doctors precedures and stuff.
Anyway, I will leave until I have an update or some other intersting information to share.
