12 Weeks - Plum

Weekly Pregnancy Journal



How far along: 12 w, 1 d - now that my EDD has been adjusted officially!

Total weight gain/loss: I didn't get on the scale this morning because I usually do this on Thursdays. I'll check tomorrow.

Maternity clothes: Very soon, I'll need to buy some pants.

Stretch marks: No

Sleep: Is normal

Best moment this week: Doctor T-B saying everything looks great! Seeing our little brownie moving around in there. Hearing the heartbeat. It's been a good week!

Movement: Bowels - moving regularly. Baby - we saw him/her moving around in there, and it was unreal!

Food cravings: Fruit

Aversions: Nothing, but I find that I'm really really hungry, but then only eat a little and I'm full and just want some juice.

Gender: Still no idea.

Labour Signs: None

Belly Button in or out: In

What I miss: Fitting into my pants. This is getting ridiculous - I need to go shopping.

What I am looking forward to: Telling my work on Friday and just being pregnant already!

Weekly Wisdom: You're probably not fooling anyone, but if it makes you feel better to deny the pregnancy a little longer, well, that's okay.
Symptoms this week:


  • Nothing over the top. The acne is definitely getting better now that I'm using all this new stuff

  • My bloat really looks like a baby belly now

  • I can't seem to sleep in any more because I have to pee around 5 or 6 every morning

  • My boobs are pornographic, and still very tender

As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed.
