Since last scan at
week 8 things have started to get back to normal. Less nausea in morning. Occasional
cramps, dizziness and headache but no more breast tenderness. I wasn’t sure. I
worry all the time. AK keeps saying how much would you worry? ‘It happens if it
has to happen’ That’s pretty true if I keep worrying there will be no end as
this is something that will continue till… I don’t know when. (education, exams,
job, wedding, birth of grandkids) Stop Worrying!
Week 9
We went to our usual
Dr Pavic again. Scan was ok, things were normal. But I had to do a blood test
to check Vit D, Iron levels and B12. I follow a vegetarian diet and eat egg only occasionally purely due to health reasons. Therefore these
levels needed to be checked. Results came out to be Vit D low, Iron Ok, B12 low
but no need of injections. I had to take Vit D supplements and I also started
drinking Marmite for B12.
My diet so far…
Breakfast – Full cup
milk with nescafe and ovomaltin, 1 cup Marmite, 1 Apple
Lunch – Salad, legumes,
corn, rice, relatively light lunch
Dinner – Noodles with
vegetables, tofu and egg
Pasta, tomato,
mozzarella Rice and curry etc.,
I drink milk, eat
cheese and consume legumes like lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans etc.,
I also take
supplements which is Centrum Materna, Vit D and Omega 3

Week 11
After my scan on week
9 Dr mentioned that I could come back in a month for week 13 scan which would
be Nuchal Translucency scan. I could not wait that long so went for a scan
during Week 11. It was a miraculous scene! The little embryo had grown into a
tiny human with small head tiny hands and tiny legs at a total length of 4.6cm (No photo)
