Symptoms

• I've had loads of lower backache but it has eased up a bit this week.
• Apparently the steroids stop the sickness but this week I've had a little nausea and I've needed to drink more water or eat something to stop my mouth watering and not in a good way!
• Boobs are bigger - they fit into my bras but are fuller, harder and slightly sore.
• Hormones - I tear up all the time. I'm very emotional but in a very happy way!
• Night sweats - I can get quite hot at night and sweat loads - yuk!
• Twinges - now and then I have twinges in the lower abdomen which is quite comforting as it is probably my uterus growing to make way for my growing baby
• Lack of appetite - if I didn't have hunger pangs or very slight nausea I could probably go all day without food. I enjoy my evening meal but force myself to eat throughout the day.
• Breathlessness/heart palpitations - it doesn't take a lot to make my heart beat faster and can make me slightly breathless.
• Spots - just a few but big on my chin, neck and back! It's like being a teenager again!

• Tiredness - the steroids keep me a bit hyper but when tiredness hits, it really does and I can feel almost ill.

The symptoms are all only minor and sometimes I feel completely normal or even forget but overall I'm doing great and loving being pregnant!
