Heartbeat begins

It’s around about now that the baby’s heart first starts beating, around 24 days after conception. Amazing to think something like this can happen so soon. I think the rapid progress that is occuring in the baby’s development at this stage definitely reflects how tired I feel!

I’ve been doing lots of reading and yes I’m taking my folic acid (actually, I’m on a pregnancy & breastfeeding multivitamin, which also has folic acid in it). This is to help prevent neural tube defects.

I haven’t been sleeping well the last few nights, so I’m really looking forward to getting a good sleep eventually. Let’s hope I can do so that I can hopefully have less nausea…….ugh.
