The Bub in the Belly

8 weeks into the race. Have been feeling bloated after meals - terrible, terrible. Fell sick over the weekend as well, went to a GP who just gave me some Vitamin C and some lozenges. Still, I'm sure the worst is yet to come...

Our first appointment at the gynae. We are definitely pregnant! Baby is just a blimp on the scan, but heartbeat is strong. Placenta is a bit low-lying but gynae advises that this will shift upwards as the uterus expands. Scan also shows that the egg came from my left ovary. Gynae gave us folic acid and DHA.

EDD is 28 January 2009, which is the 3rd day of Chinese New Year, but gynae advises that baby will probably be out earlier.

Gynae said Richard was a "sharp shooter" since we managed to strike so quickly!
