Laney - I hear you. My pains are in my hips and I feel old and decrepit. I did expect it as after my losses I had bad ligament pain, but it doesn't prepare you for the onslaught. I asked the ob about it and he said relaxin kicks in from 6 weeks. Where are yours?

Ellie - the mental image of litle sultanas being wedged into your belly button by Miss A, is a really nice one. It is so sweet huh?

Can I ask I question? Has this pregnancy had more hope and slightly less anxiety for you compared to Miss A's? Does getting to hold you miracle bub make it easier to get through this pregnancy?

OMG I just reread your post - 14 May! AWESOME. That is so close.

AFM - 17 weeks today! All ok. Can't beleive that number applies to me. My Mum actually asked me if I could feel the baby moving today. It was kinda cool, as no one except for DH and the Ob asks me about the pregnancy itself in the way that I hear people asking other women.I tend to get, "how are things going?" I understand why, they are scared of getting sad news. But it also means I miss out on the experience of that stuff. Does that happen to anyone else?

Anyway, I made myself laugh in this post. Already thinking about my next pregnancy when still so far to go in this one. Crazy. Hope springs eternal.

Ciao my lovlies.
