Pregnancy Diaries; Catch Up weeks 23 & 24

Week 23

Whilst I have had a bad flare up of eczema the entire pregnancy, it is really starting to get to me now. I've been given a couple of steroid creams which I have reluctantly been using but have made no difference. I have to keep reminding my self that there are worse things I could have and it's all for a good cause but this doesn't help my being paranoid of them showing or help with the pain. This should go once baby arrives however as it's likely hormones have triggered it, I'm worried this will continue when breastfeeding. I am finding this is slightly over-shadowing the pregnancy however am mindful not to wish the time away and try to focus on the good bits.

Week 24

So I'm 6 months this week and pregnancy wise I'm doing good. The baby kicks consistently throughout the day and at night it doesn't stop. I swear it was punching and kicking away for an hour and a half, non-stop the other night, I guess there's not much else to do in there. I'm finding myself getting full really quickly now and even struggled to finish a Happy Meal of all things. This is something I previously experienced towards the end in pregnancy yet I still have 16 weeks to go until the big day. Now I'm scared the reason there is no room for food is because I'm going to have a gigantic baby and am wondering how I'm supposed to get it out! Here is the big bubba this week.
