Hi ladies

Jen: I think pretty much everyday I get some type of cramping low down. Sometimes it almost takes my breath away and other times is just like a bit of a stitch. I ask a g/f of mine who is pg with her 4th if this is normal and she assured me that it is fine and is more than likely all the stretching your uterus is doing. Remember in the first trimester your uterus will grow from about fist size to about the size of a grapefruit (bigger than it needs to be). If you are really concerned give your OB or GP a call, but I'm just taking it as part of the experience and so long as there is no bleeding associated it seems to be all part of what happens.

Murph: Ah, it seems you may be getting some symptoms... Hope the m/s does stay away for you. I think mine has now gone for sure. Still need to eat regularly, but not as much or as often so hopefully can get some of my life back now . As for the indigestion, I have been suffering since my m/s started and it is still with me (I think this is going to be my constant companion). I didn't expect it so early but it is definitely here. I must say it is really attractive to be walking around burping all day, never mind what comes out the other end ..... but so long as I get it out it makes life easier... Just another joy of being pg I suppose.

To all the other girls, thanks for your reassurance about the weight loss. I'm sure my OB will be fine with it and on the plus side maybe by the end of my journey I won't have put on too much weight and therefore have too much to lose... I can only hope..
