12 week pregnancy update

I'm officially over 12 weeks pregnant now.  One thing I've found that's really confused me is the dating - if you go by the first day of my last period, I should be 13 and a half weeks now, but when I had my scan a week ago, they dated me at 11 weeks then, when the midwife had me down as 12 weeks.  So I never know whether to go by the date the scan people told me, or by the first day of my last period... who knows!  It's all new to me :)

Symptoms
So far my main symptoms have been nausea - but not just generally feeling sick, but feeling nauseous at the thought of certain foods, or when doing things like brushing my teeth, taking my inhaler, coughing etc - then I wretch and it's really horrid!

I've had some heartburn, but earlier in the pregnancy, not much in the last 3 weeks.  I've also had a lower back ache on and off.  Not many food cravings, it's been more like a struggle trying to find food and drink that doesn't make me feel sick, all the normal things I eat (I'm vegetarian and usually eat lots of Quorn) I seem to feel repulsed by.

We've already started picking up little bits and bobs for the baby, little booties and baby grows when we see a good deal on them, but I'm trying to hold off until we find out the sex of the baby, then we can buy more appropriately :)  I'll do a proper 'haul' once we have a bit more, either on here or on my YouTube channel (I might start a new channel just for mummy stuff) :)

Anyway, that's it for now, thanks for reading :)
