9 weeks - Midwife and more vomit.

Eeek! I feel like I've been majorly slacking in keeping up with my blog and vlogs - but ho-hum, I'm here now and ready to roll.

OK, so after a lot of hassle (misunderstanding between myself and my doctor) I FINALLY met my Midwife this week and I LOVE her! She is so lovely, down to earth and just a genuinely compassionate lady - my kind of person! The worst thing about her? She gave me a MASSIVE pile of 'homework' to complete in 3 days - I'm talking form after form after form - and they literally ask all the same questions. Anyway, I had to complete them all before I meet her again (tomorrow). Because she normally likes to first see her mums at 6/7 weeks then again at 8/9 weeks we had to rush me along a bit as the first time I met her I was already 9 weeks so she squeezed me in again the same week to 'book me in'. This will happen at home and will include blood tests, going through family health history etc - exciting stuff ay! This really is becoming more and more real!

My main bother this week has been my back - sounds ridiculous me saying I have a bad back at 9 weeks doesn't it? But I've strained all the muscles in my lower back from being sick so often :-( Trying my hardest NOT to complain though as all the lows are going to be totally worth it in the end :-)

So, from the above you've probably gathered that yes, the sickness is ever present. But, this means that my hormone levels are high and going strong :-)

And that's that really - not much else to add!

Oh, I'd quite like some opinions on 'buying/hiring your own doppler' - so please comment below and share your views!

Love you all x
