Surprise!! Not
exactly the way I intended on announcing my special news on ‘social media’. Pregnancy
in isolation.. I’d like to document this time for myself, to look back and
remember what it was like, for my family and friends, that can’t see my belly
growing, and for anyone else that may be interested.
I am 3 days
off the 20week mark, halfway through pregnancy. I did my last food shop on
Monday 16th March and then it was isolation from there on. My OT has
been popping out for essentials (including an emergency chocolate run on
Saturday night) and I have just been out for exercise, walking down to the sea
front for fresh air. Although I’ll be honest, the motivation to get out for a
walk has actually been difficult, I mean it’s not like I’m working out these
days, I can just sit at home getting fatter right?!
WFH is
hard! I am missing the socialisation of work sooo much! Plus, I have no comfy
chairs to sit on. If this thing is really going to go on for 3 months I may have
to invest in a proper office chair (money I don’t really want to spend, but may
have to). I’m running out of clothes that fit, and reluctant to spend money on
anything when I won’t even be leaving the house in it, going to be living in my
OH’s baggy T-shirts at this rate!
Sleep has
recently become a struggle. I’ve become really conscious of lying on my back
(it’s not good for me or the baby), and as the belly is getting bigger it’s
harder to get comfortable. I have bitten the bullet today and ordered a
pregnancy pillow, although god knows how long that’ll take to arrive,
deliveries are understandably slow at the moment. Lack of sleep is also
contributing to my mood swing. Pregnancy hormones plus isolation hormones! I
applaud my OH for handling my mood swings amazingly, he deserves a medal when
this is over!
Biggest question
I am asking myself this week: Is my baby getting bigger, hence the bigger
belly, or is it really just isolation fat?!
