Kim and Megan - Welcome and so good to see you in here Your funny Megan! I hope the next 6 weeks fly by for you. I too am feeling anxious until I hit that milestone.
KellyD - YAY, you've reached 12 weeks!!!! It doesnt seem that long ago that I was congratulating you on getting your birthday wish. Glad all is well
21 - you poor thing! I can only imagine how you feel. Take care of yourself.
BG - glad all went well yesterday. I would have thought the same as you about her moving around alot, sounds like a good thing to me
Murph - hope you enjoy your day off, sounds good! Gotta LOVE steak, hehe Im such a red meat eater. Im yet to have cravings although I have turned off some foods/drinks already. Hope I dont turn off meat!!!!
Hello to everyone else.
AFM, been feeling queasy on and off. My sense of smell is SO heightened and so many things are turning me off, especially my DP's smoking! Ive been getting some strong headaches too. I went to the chemist earlier and they said I can take panadol to help ease them. I didnt think I was allowed to but they said paracetamol was ok? I also picked up some Travel Calm Ginger tablets for the queasiness so am hoping that helps too.
Take care all,
Tania

Hi and welcome Kim and Megan. The 1st 12 weeks are the hardest. So much to worry about. Megan, try not to think about all the what ifs.. pregnancy and parenthood can be a worrying time but it is also an amazing time filled with lots of milestones and memorable moments. Enjoy each day and celebrate the little milestones. Congrats on making it to 6 weeks.
Murph, enjoy your day off - sort of... writing an essay doesn't sound like much of a day off! I've had a few cravings - I went through a phase of cheese and onion chips.. not the healthiest of cravings but I seem to be over the chips craving now!
BG, you've had a busy weekend! Hoping your pelvic and back pain eases. Not long now until you meet your little girl.
Miss Magpie, panadol is fine to take. Hope your ginger tabs do the trick with queasiness.
21, if you're worried about BP and symptoms of pre-eclampsia go and see your GP now. I wouldn't be waiting another 2 weeks. Not worth the risk to the baby or you.
Kelly, congrats on your 12 week scan. Enjoy being able to spread the good news!
Possums, thanks for popping in. My fingers are crossed for you this month!
Hi Grub, Nicole, Kahlan, Jen, Nixon. Hope you're looking and feeling "swell"!
AFM, still cruising along. On school hols at the moment so enjoying the break. Tummy is still growing and growing... bit of back pain but nothing too serious yet. Another ob appt at the end of the month. All is good!
Tania - panadol, panadeine, even mersyndol (day) and panadeine forte are fine in pregnancy. i find one day strength mersyndol does more for me taking it once than taking four hourly panadol - so that's what i do. it's very rare, even with headaches bordering on migraines PLUS the pelvic and back pain, that i need to take more than one mersyndol
21 - i agree - bp alone isn't enough to check - please see your caree provider to have the full range of PE tests done - the risks to both you and your baby are so much more important than placement/work
afm - have just had DH hang some sun catchers in Gremlins room and am now starting to sort and put away her bedding and clothes - soooo much fun!
i agree with you nicole s and kahlan. i'd love au naturale but so long as it arrives safe and sound i'll be happy. but hey i'll be happy if i can make the 12 wk mark without my head exploding from anxiety so how it comes out is really not a huge issue for me.
hi kellyD - did you wave back and say hi? that's wonderful. big congrats! do you feel more relaxed than before now you've seen the little champion???
hi twomums - i totally agree with kaydee78. i'm a bit in the same boat with the anxiety over ''bad things'' (i dare not speak its name) happening. but our fertility nurse really pushed for us to just enjoy our moment in the sun and what we've achieved. i don't think stress of mum or partner is good at this stage so maybe try and break it down to small goals. i'm a complete control freak an i can't stand that i don't get a say in this, its soooo frustrating. but in the end i've just got to accept it and try and give my bubs the best possible chance through right diet, exercise, rest etc. not long and you'll be at 7 wks!! yay. are you getting a scan???? that's what i'm hanging out for and i think i'll feel better once i see all the bits are there.
murph - hope your essay writing went well. how are you otherwise?
bg - i love your scan story! i'd think that obviously bubs is getting enough blood with all that movement!!! that does sound exciting, and fun.
hugs for you 21 - i can't wait til i'm at the stage when i say "and we paid how much to feel like this??", but i dare say i won't be saying it in very good humour. i really feel for you love. sounds like you need a man hug from DH.
hey miss tania - hope you start to feel better soon. pooeey i'd be telling dp to go down the far back yard for his smoke from now on. as a former smoker that's one smell i can't stand, preg or not. i've also found blackmores ginger tablets for morn sickness are quite good, but they are the size of a horse pill. lol.
kaydee - glad you are feeling so good girl.
AFM: just woke up from another afternoon nap. i think i've had one every day since good friday now... aahhh, yyyyaawwwwnnnnn. and they certainly don't interfer with my dribble sessions at night either but i figure bubs and i are doing lots of work so we are allowed to have a little nanna nap. thank god my boss rocks.
hi to anyone i've missed and big hugs to possums for dropping in. ox
make the most of the nana naps ladies! you'll get to a point where you can't get comfy enough to sleep so do it while you can! i used to tell DH i was sleeping for two, so suck it up and leave me alone. now HE reminds me i need sleep for two and sends me to bed most afternoons for a while. he didn't today, but he's making me hot soup for starters (lotsa yummy veg!), seeing i stayed awake and helped assemble a set of drawers to put in the wardrobe for Gremlins clothes. definitely a two person job - and not a fun one!
