    hey, yeah - nausea and vomiting are still here - indegestion, tiredness, crabbiness, mood swings and the lot this time.

    the nausea and vomiting ease on some days but are ridiculous on others - 12-15 times a day somedays still. i think last time i wasn't this nauseous all the time - anyway this time im 4 years older and have children to run after as well - and working full time when i make it in there.

    haven't put on as much weight this time - belly is there - and im counting secretly in my head until the next scan in a few weeks so i can find out for sure what the sex is. and then i can get organised - because last time i got to November and i was like "im over it" - and the nursery still wasn't done and the cot was still not up 10 days prior to delivery.

    Got my c section date so that is super exciting....resisting the urge to buy a doppler on my ob advice - i will become obsessed with it - but as he has now been moving for a few weeks - i just rest my hand there until i feel him move and the anxiety subsides.....glad you have a doppler with my first - i was paranoid........

    I never got lucky enough with any of my other preg to hear a heartbeat after 12 weeks so it is just reassuring.
    We don't go crazy with it. Just 30 seconds at night in bed. I don't want to stress it out....
    We have a scan at 16 weeks not this monday but the next one so cant wait.
    Sucks about your symptoms. I too have good days now, maybe 2 or 3 in a row where I will only feel nausious 3 or 4 times in a whole day. tiredness can wash over me in under a minute and nearly knock me off my feet but then will wash away again after about 30 minutes so hopefully I am on the up side...
    You're like less than 2 weeks ahead of me. Its so exciting...
    Fingers crossed it keeps going well for us both...

    i completely understand the whole doppler thing - i had 2 m/c's before my son and i was obsessed with hearing him or making him move the whole pregnancy - so don't worry - do what makes you comfortable.

    yeah i think i am 2 weeks exactly in front of you - but my c section date has bought me forward again - so i will be home hopefully by the time my due date has arrived.

    best of luck - cheers

    Thanks for the advice. Yes, we want it to happen quickly. We start the first week of September and she has pretty regular cycles, so we're hoping we know the day. We will do the OPK, plus Maybe Baby, plus CM, plus temping and hopefully will identify it. Our donor is pretty happy to come when we need him (um, so to speak!)

    A good compliant donor is super important...
    Ours bowed to our every need which is great but its all done and dusted now...
    I'm hoping it happens for you so quickly!
    Congrats.
    Please let me know how you go.
    I love hearing about new rainbow babies on the way!
