It’s been a while!
11 Weeks
Just a quick update from me. I’m feeling a lot better although heartburn has started to come occasionally.
I managed to find a good homoeopathic remedy called pulsatilla that helped sort it out. I really recommend using homoeopathy in general, but it’s brilliant in pregnancy as it is safe to use. I use a book called “The Complete Homeopathy Handbook” by Miranda Castro to self prescribe. You really need to look up the remedy before using it because it also takes into account your emotional state which can differ so much between each individual. It is really really worth getting a book of some kind to guide you otherwise if you just pick a remedy that has worked for someone else and use it yourself, as I have done before, then found that it doesn’t work at all you might start thinking ‘pffft, what a waste of money, homoeopathy doesn’t work!’ but I promise you it does!
Anyway, I have blabbered on quite a bit I’m sure you get the idea that homoeopathy is great. It has been so fantastic during the last 9 weeks of this pregnancy.
Well, I’m off to sleep. I will post some bump photos soon and update you on some other pregnancy happenings!

Feeling Better!!!!!
9 Weeks + 2 Days
Well, I’ve had a few days of feeling ok-ish and last night, for the first night in weeks I did not waken up with nausea….not once! Woo hoo! Things are looking up!
One thing I have been experiencing is headaches in the evening. I thought I was drinking enough water (2-3 750ml bottles a day) but my friend/midwife said to up it to AT LEAST 3 Litres. So 4 or more bottles full. Well, I’ve been trying my best today and it has actually worked! Amazing how much extra water a pregnant body needs!
So if you are getting headaches get a sports bottle and calculate how many you need to drink and DO IT!
Just a note, if you are experiencing headaches and you are over 15 weeks AND/OR experiencing any dizziness, blurry vision, any visual disturbances, generally feeling unwell (especially signs of high blood pressure like irregular heart rate, shortness of breath), any swelling please contact your midwife. This needs to be checked out so please don’t just drink extra water and hope it goes away!
