Second Trimester Sickness
Had a horrible bout of stomach cramps today...
They lasted for about half and hour of me trying to walk them off and ended with me getting a hot flush followed by a cold sweat and being sick :(
I did feel better afterwards but it is scary to feel that sick without knowing why

Work Worries
I had a meeting today with work and it has been agreed that for the safety and well being of "the bean" I can't perform my regular duties at work.
However at the moment there are no alternative duties for me to perform so for the time being I am on leave and waiting for them to find me another possition within the company.

I had a bit of a rude awakening today from a health point of view as I sat at work (when I'm not performing my priestess duties I work for a drinks manufacture in R&D as part of a sensory panel) tasting cup after cup of freshly ground coffee. I thought I'd see how much I was actually drinking.
Now when I first fell pregnant I discussed the issues with caffeine with my occupational health dept at work and they said I should stick to one mouthful from every drink and then spit the rest out. A bit grim but it meant I could continue doing my job.
Well it was only when I sat and worked out exactly how much caffeine I was consuming (even with only one mouthful from every cup) it turned out that in the 3 hours I had been at work I had drunk over half a litre of strong coffee (way over the recommended “cup and a half per day”)
...So, I know that this can’t continue, I’m just not sure what options I have at the mo...

Nuchal Scan
I don't think I have ever felt more like a piece of meat!!!
I was in such pain today after our nuchal scan, the woman who performed it was really rough and quite abrupt which somewhat spoilt what should have been a beautiful and special milestone for us.
Not only that but when I complained that it hurt she said it was because my BMI was too high and so it was hard to scan me...
Now I know that I am a curvy gal but I just felt that her rude nature was really uncalled for.
*ok rant over*
Never the less we have been able to see "the bean" jumping and diving about inside me now, 2 arms, 2 legs and all the right bits in between and have been told that our chance of a Downs baby is minimal.
