So, here's the bump at 23 weeks, which is also the start of my 6th month of pregnancy, and the last month of the second trimester. I don't think a great deal has changed in the past couple of weeks? I seem to be carrying quite low and am still apparently quite small, which I think looks a little strange at this stage! I look like I have an abnormally long torso!
Not a great deal has happened in the past couple of weeks, except for the rather startling discovery that my colostrum has started to come in. It was news to me, but quite common in the second trimester. I'll let you google that one.
Her movement is also becoming more and more forceful and you can now see and feel it very obviously from the 'outside'. Nug is pretty impressed with this! Sometimes I can poke my belly, and she will kick back! Last night, I couldn't get to sleep - she was kicking and poking me from the inside, and Nug was on my right, twitching, kicking and laughing in his sleep. What a pair!
I have my last appointment in Japan next Tuesday, at 24 weeks, and then my first appointment with my obstetrician in Brisbane on the 8th March. They have been so wonderful over here at looking after me, but I can't wait to come back to Australia and meet my obstetrician, have a tour around the Wesley (where I will give birth), and start some classes!
