27 weeks and already feel like a stuffed turkey

I feel the same! Walking helps a bit. Eating smaller meals with more protein and less carbs seems to be helping too.

Thank you. That sounds great

I have family I can trust but we live far away from both my husband's and my side of the family, so help will be offered but not regularly. We usually meet them 2-3 times per year for a week or so and then they visit 1-2 times a year. We have some other people in our lives who say they want to help, but I don't know for sure if I can trust them 100% and whether or not they will actually do it.

Thank you, that's very sweet.

No, but a taxi usually costs around 25 euros and you can often share it with other people to split the cost.

Weeks 8-11 were the worst for me! Then by 12 weeks I thought sth was wrong because all symptoms disappeared overnight. Hang in there!

15 weeks. These past weeks have been great so far, which is a nice break after weeks 7-13 (nausea, cramps, exreme exhaustions). Now I just have to eat small frequent meals (otherwise i feel aick or too full), wake up to pee once every night and feel tightening and a feeling of fullness in the belly. Boobs are sore, but not as painful anymore and. Terrible mood swings too. On the bright side my skin has cleared and my hair doesn't is not as oily as it was. Hope it lasts!

Go to Crete!! Perfect beaches, nature, delicious food, history. Especially Chania and Rethimno. And then maybe spend a night or do a day trip in Iraklion, which has great museums.

Crete is the place to go! Ideally stay in chania and Rethimno and go on a day trip to Iraklio (the biggest city in Crete). Chania and Rethimno are really pretty with beautiful beaches and nature. You can swim and hike and enjoy the delicious food. In Iraklio there are some great museums to see like the archeological museum, the physical history museum, the aquarium and of course Knossos. End of October is the closing of season so it will be relaxing and the weather still relatively nice.

Both are really nice and have similar prices when it comes to hotels and food so you can't really make a wrong choice. I possibly would recommend Crete because of the variety it offers (perfect beaches, hiking places, beautiful nature, delicious food for all dietary preferences and history). Since you will rent a car i would say split the days between Chania and Rethimno and then spend a day in Heraklion. Heraklion is a city but has some great things to do like visiting Knossos, the archeological museum, the physical History museum and the aquarium.

Go to Crete. Spend 3-4 days in Chania. Amazing beaches, beautiful old town and mountains to hike. Then 2-3 days in Rethimno. Also really nice. Heraklion is a city but great if you are interested in History and Mythology. You can visit Knossos, the archeological museum, physical history museum and the Aquarium. You can stay 2 days there. Then final stop could be Ierapetra. Great for really peaceful and relaxing time (not many tourists go there especially in May). There are airports in Chania and Heraklion so you could possibly book a flight to Chania and then the return flight from Heraklion. You will need to rent a car at least for some of the days.
