Week 6 Pregnancy VLOG, baby 4 by Teresa Palmer

WHAT WEEK?
6

HOW BIG IS BABY?
1/8 to 1/4 of an inch! Or the size of a grain of rice

WHAT’S SOMETHING NEW THIS WEEK?
Nausea! Not too overbearing but it hits me in waves. Also feeling general exhaustion.

MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT?
Working and being pregnant. Waking up at 6:30am every morning and having super long days. I’ve been chewing these mint lozenges to help stave off the sickness.

MOST EXCITING MOMENT?
A lot of people at work found out because my tummy is HUGE already and they had to cut the back of my jeans for me to fit in them! Hilarious. So it’s been fun talking with people about the pregnancy and getting excited with my on set friend Lucy who is at the end of her pregnancy while I’m at the beginning of mine.

FOOD AVERSIONS?
Just a general disinterest in food although still a healthy appetite?! It’s just the taste isn’t that exciting anymore. I used to LOVE popcorn every night as an after work snack but now I have no desire for it.

REFLECTIONS?
Mark and I are really excited for this baby, it still feels completely surreal but every night we lie in bed and talk about who this little person is and how special they are to have come in like this. As I explained in last week’s vlog we were certain we weren’t in the “fertile zone” when we *ahem* so this baby feels like an extra miracle. Just looking forward to getting through this first trimester.
