JLK - Aweomse. Congratulations! And only 2 more sleeps til your scan. Mine is 16th March - seems ages away yet. That is the nuchal transculency for me.

Mummabec - I know its hard but you can do it. Like angelicdragon said, you have something to be on the look out for. I know what you mean about preparing yourself. In my third pg, DH and I were driving to our "early scan" and I became really anxious about all the possibilities I hadn't prepared myself for including bad news and I hadn't arranged to take the rest of the day off. But ironically one of the things I rattled off was 'what if there is more than one?" Would you beleive it, that scan on 5 June showed dcda fraternal twins? Anyway, I remember that moment on the way to the app very vividly. Although in your case it must have been really frightening. I am sorry you had to go through it but glad you came through ok. I purposefully went back to the hospital after I'd birthed Amelia so hopefully exorcise any lingering fears I may have had about the hospital. It was pretty tough going past the birthing suite the first few times, but ok after a few more times. I didn't go in again though until I birthed Sophie. I haven't been back since then. I am hoping for a happier ending this time. But a good reminder to myself to head on back there asap so I don't have go back unprepared.

AFM - it's kinda weird to think that if this pg goes the way the others have that I am half way through ( at 10 weeks). Bit of a good reminder to savour it? I started some spotting at 10 weeks 2 days and have had minute amounts of brown spotting every day since - 10 weeks 5 days today. It is about 4 weeks since my last spotting episode. Alternatively it did coinicde with me standing up more one day. It does make me anxious but only a little bit. I might ring the ob if it keeps up.

Here's a question. Have any of you had massively painful wind pain? Yesterday it was really bad for me. I don't remember ever having anything like it before. I don't think I am constipated. It was a bit scary at first, but once the wind was out, no more pain. And there was a lot of wind. Amazing to think that much gas collected in my body. Initially I thought I might have been coming down with gastro or a m/c but I have never been so relieved to pass wind, ever, I don't reckon.

Anyway, hope you're all well.
