Memories from the 1st Trimester

I want to remember this pregnancy, so I am trying to journal on the blog, which seems simple but it can be hard to find time! This is for myself and for the baby when they learn how to read :-) Last night I was talking to a friend and realized all that I was forgetting from the 1st trimester and it has only been a few weeks! So I need to recap and then I need to focus on updating the blog at least weekly.

There are some things that people have never told me...my breasts will hurt, oh and not just be sore, they Hurt! I became bloated around week 6 or 7 and none of my pants fit, but then around week 11 or 12 my pants fit again, go figure. My doctor said prenatal vitamins aren't necessary and instead gave me a regiman of vitamins, multi, iron, folic acid, D3 and DHA. I would get cramps and be terrified every time I went to the bathroom. At week 8 we had an ultrasound and the doctor said there would be less than 2% of miscarrying but it didn't ease my mind! Suddenly at my 12 week appointment she found that little heartbeat and immediately my mind was at ease!
