I'm 23 weeks today. Almost through my second trimester now.

I had an antenatal visit yesterday and they offered me a social worker. Apparently they're concerned because I haven't put on any weight at all (in fact i've lost a couple of kg's) during my second trimester. This was after I told them about Dazza being away for almost 2 months and having to do a lot of travelling for the kids each day etc, on top of the ligament damage I still have in my abdomen.

Anyway, I told them I'd be fine. The kids are almost finished school now, so that'll be one less thing, plus Dazza is back, so he can take on a bit more of the burden.

I was actually really surprised that they'd be that concerned. I don't think it's a big deal. I feel healthy. The baby is healthy, and I can stand to lose a few kg's anyway.

So anyway, that's my latest update. Another scan next week - just to make sure everything's ok according to the midwives - and then plain sailing till after xmas.
