Week 7

My 35th birthday today. It's all a bit grim. I am still poorly, so any celebrating has had to be put on hold. I did manage to make it for lunch with Mum (& Stefan) at the Red Cow up the road, and we had a bit of a potter around town to get me some new shoes. It really tired me out though and by 4pm I was suffering. I've been back to the Doctor and he's given me some pain killers. He can't prescribe too much because of the pregnancy. The antibiotics don't seem to be having any effect. I've only got one more day of tablets left and I feel no better.

Pregnancy is going ok. I'm feeling lots of symptoms - morning sickness (the retching is the worst, and it's not confined to the morning either. I get it throughout the day and night in intervals) I have bouts of achy boobs, I'm tired ALL the time and a I have really strong sense of smell. Some smells make me feel sick.

I'm still off work.
