Tomorrow is week 23 and I’ve noticed that things change rapidly within a few days, then stay the same for a few weeks and you never know what is around the corner. As for me the baby is kicking quite a bit especially at night, my rashes are getting itchier and are spreading, I’ve started leaking milk already and I can feel the ligaments in my pelvic area starting to relax. My energy comes in spurts; I will have a few days where I don’t need to sleep during the day but then there are other days where I struggle to get out of bed. Most of the time it depends on how many times I have to get up to go to the toilet during the night!
I have also found that as things progress my food cravings have changed. Mum is kindly making my ‘comfort’ foods like; Roast Pork (with roasted veggies, Yorkshire pudding and of course plenty of crackling!), Lamb and Lentil Stew, Osso Bucco and Roast Chicken (with homemade stuffing). I have also started having weird junk food cravings, like salt and vinegar potato chips with cream cheese and gherkins. I’m also craving frozen cokes from McDonald’s, any desserts, cakes, well anything sweet really! At this stage of the pregnancy I have to be careful that I don’t go overboard on the sweet stuff. At the moment the only way I can control this is by staying home!
