22 Weeks

Last week we went away to Edinburgh for the Fringe festival. We had a brilliant time but I was certainly feeling the strain from all the walking around. Even sitting was a bit painful. I have had numbness in my leg for a few weeks on and off but it was alot worse on holiday with all the walking and felt burning and stinging. By the end of the days my right leg was in agony and my feet were both swollen! Anyway, seems to be better now I'm home and not having to walk about much but it may be interesting to see how I cope with a day at school with it. I tried to speak to the midwife about it but they are a nightmare to get hold of. From looking at the information on the internet, I think I'm suffering with something called parasthetica which is caused by extra weight compressing the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which is below the pelvis. Swollen feet is pretty standard for walking around all day when preggers! 

Anyways, not much else to report really apart from feeling some kicks now and I've even seen some jumps and felt from the outside a few times so very exciting!

Robin said I'm looking really preggers now hehe!
