And the pregnant Belinda went Wee, Wee, Wee all the way home.

Okay, to cut to the chase, I think I have a bladder infection. Just a little one at this point but one that I think I will have to get checked out. At times I'm going to the toilet every fifteen minutes or so, especially at night when I'm trying to go to sleep. My brain is telling me that I'm busting even after I have just been to the toilet. What is worse is when I have just been, I'm completely empty but my brain is still receiving the message from my bladder that it is FULL....!!!!!! Arrrrhhhhh... This is definitely not right. So I think I better go and see my G.P.

I'm also just a little concerned about my blood pressure. Yesterday when I checked it on Jochen's parent's monitor is was 97/42 and then about an hour later it was 83/57 apparently this is low and everyone seems to be quite concerned when I tell them. I wasn't too worried until everyone else started being worried. So I think I'll speak to my G.P. about that too.

The good news is that I have been starting to feel a little better, not throwing up as much or feeling as nauseous and have even managed to cook a couple of meals, including tonight's spring rolls and fried rice. However, I've only had one really good day so far and that was Thursday, the day of the first ultrasound. For the first time in a long time I didn't have a headache and I seemed to be full of happy hormones - I think it was probably the relief of not having the pain of a headache that had lasted for weeks. I was so good we went and had a look at baby stuff at Fountain Gate. But I seem to have slipped back from then and have resumed the permanent headache, the occasional throwing up and nausea sessions. I'm looking on the positive side though and hope that this bit of an improvement means I'm starting to turn the corner. I also reached 14 weeks yesterday...I can't believe that another week has passed already. At the rate that I'm going, I'm going to blink and I'll be in labor.
