hi sammiejam - i think every single one of us here can understand your feelings. i only stopped saying to DH "oh my god, we're havng a baby" about a month go. Now i'm at "OMG somethig bad is going to happen cos we have our dream". I think it's human nature and even more so when you've been through the wringer to get this far. Do try to look at the positives and stay away from the internet! You are feeling sick - that's a big tick! and look at it this way, 8w3d til the scan but that means only a few weeks till you are at 12 weeks and getting your first proper looks at bub (or bubbies).

kelly d - YAY for lovely husbands. I"ve got one too. enjoy your housework and hope your wek improves.

afm wnet to the doc this morning, I do have a virus but they are pretty sure it's not SF. still that's not exactly the most reassuring thing! i do feel a bit better today and have just taken the day off to rest. i'm really glad i didn't hang about and booked into the docs as soon as i felt unwell. HE didn't make me feel silly about it either, or like i was overreacting. I had a slight temp so am taking panadol. He offered the anti-viral drugs if i was really concerned, which i'm not cos i feel a bit brighter, but said they still didn't know all the risks to unborn bubs. So I"m to call asap if i get worse, otherwise rest up and drink loads of water.

bubba doesn't seem very bothered by it, he's really starting to kick up a storm.

but to anyone who feels a little cold/flu coming on - i really recommend you book into your doc at the first symptom. you can always cancel but it's best to be safe.

Concerningly tho, all my hand washing and shopping centre avoidance obviously hasn't worked very well!
