25 weeks - I look preggers!

Well the pot belly is really starting to show now. I look pregnant and with Blobby jumping around so much I very definitely feel pregnant! I'm really enjoying this middle trimester although I've been suffering a little bit with wind - belching enough to fill the goodyear blimp!!! Nice.

I've registered with the local Doctors so I'm feeling that everything is on track now. All tests are good. I'll have the glucose tolerance test for diabetes in a couple of weeks.

I read some articles in the newspapers here that really got me riled up. A woman is suing the NHS because she was on their waiting list for IVF for six years and when her turn came she was 'shocked' to learn that her eggs were too old. Now she been 'denied the right' to have her own genetic child and been 'forced' to have a baby using a donor egg. Her son was born last week, and although she 'loves him' she, and I quote, "can't help but feel bitter I have been cheated out of" having a genetic baby. I was flabbergasted. Blobby is wanted and loved and will be ours totally! He is not genetically related to me - so what??? He wouldn't be growing without me & there's no risk of the issues associated with me being old, such as down syndrome. He'll come into the world and he will have our unconditional love. And we will tell him how he came about from the earliest opportunity so he will know how much he was wanted and how very grateful we are. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
