Week 15 Pregnancy VLOG, baby 4 by Teresa Palmer

WHAT WEEK?
15

HOW BIG IS BABY?
Nearly 4.5 inches and size of a naval orange

WHAT’S SOMETHING NEW THIS WEEK?
I got to see little miss on the ultrasound screen!! She was so active and wriggling around like a little crazy pants. Loved hearing her heartbeat. It was about 150 beats per second.

MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT?
Stress!! I was so time-poor this week, we had two full days of audiobook recording, and each day we weren’t recording we had book press to finish, thousands of bookplates to sign, Estonia to pack for and school work to do PHEW! This week felt so relentless and I got a cold on top of it!

MOST EXCITING MOMENT?
Seeing our healthy bub and meeting with Dr Jay Goldberg to discuss my Iso immunisation pregnancy. It was so awesome to meet with a doctor who knew exactly what it is (it’s very rare) and who had a great plan of attack in place for me. I had my bloods drawn and will find out what my initial numbers are (fingers crossed it’s LOW!!)

STARTING WEIGHT?
116lbs

CURRENT WEIGHT?
124lbs (8lb weight gain!) similar point to where I was at with Poet this far along.

MEALS?
So much PASTA!!!! Haha all the things, avocado toast, banana bread, green juices.

REFLECTIONS?
Feeling really grateful for this special time here in LA. Very very happy to be in this home with those I love the most. Feeling sad to be leaving for 7 weeks but very excited to embark on this new filming journey before returning back to these holiday hills when I’m 24 weeks pregnant! WILD!
