What does 5 weeks feel like?

Hmmm.. it's a weird feeling being so early in pregnancy. I don't feel confident I'm pregnant because I want to wait until my scan in 2 weeks and yet I am tring to stay positive. J doesn't seem to be feeling it as real either.


I'm having some early pregnancy symptoms. The main one is fatigue - it's a different exhaustion from sleep deprivation, it kind of feels like I've been drugged. I have to drag myself through work most days (sometimes with a nap in the car at lunch) and then other days I feel fine. My digestive system is a little upset, with lots and lots of burping and farting (TMI sorry)! No funny smells or nausea yet. Fingers crossed I get off lightly!

Have been really busy at work with lots of functions. That equals lots of catering which means pre-prepared salads, deli meat, salmon, soft cheeses, poached eggs for breakfast, alcohol etc. It's hard to make excuses for why I'm not eating. And it's hard not eating when you're trapped at a venue and starving. Will have to pack back up food in my work bag I think!

Thanks to everyone for your congratulations. Hopefully my next TWW (for scan) flies by!
