Gemma’s Pregnancy - Week 18

We have now reached week 18.

Things seem to be getting easier for Gemma, with the morning sickness finally easing sufficiently. There are still some days where she feels sick, but these are now not the norm, thankfully.

The bump is growing quickly now, the baby is currently undergoing a growth spurt. As the baby continues to grow Gemma is now feeling the baby moving around inside her. I can’t really imagine what it would feel like, but Gemma likens it to something like wind! I guess that would be a weird sensation. It shouldn’t be too long before we’ll be able to feel the baby moving and kicking from the outside.

Next Monday is our next ultrasound scan, and also an antenatal appointment. This will be when we find out whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Hopefully. It will be just our luck that the baby decides not to reveal the vital part of the anatomy that would reveal its little secret.

Also during the scan, various measurements and observations will be made to determine whether everything is ok with our baby. I’m sure that everything will be.

I’ll put up a post once we’ve got back, so until the next update………
