Flutters

Turns out, this nausea seems to be linked to something I was starting to experience a couple days ago. There’s a fluttering type of sensation I started to notice in my general belly area. And not the feeling of when the baby moves around. It is constant and consistent. And the speed of it is roughly double the speed of my own heart beat.

It is, quite likely, the baby’s heartbeat. Turns out my aunt had the same thing in two of her pregnancies. But hers didn’t make her nauseous. It just felt… odd. But she also said it only lasted about a month, from about four and a half to five and a half months. And I am right at the four and a half months. So, my theory makes all the more sense.

I did check in with the midwife about it, and she confirmed that it is a very high chance that the weird sensation inside me is the baby’s heartbeat.

I’m also very distracted with now, and so I don’t know what all I was trying to say. So… going to sleep now.
