    Hi Ladies,

    Thank you all for your kind welcomes and thoughts. I also wanted to send out another to everyone - I'll start keeping track of everyone as I go and will try a few persies soon!

    So today is 4wd1d. You'd think that wouldn't be so different from 4wk0d, but perhaps not. I went and saw the Naturopath this morning in order to get some nutrition advice for early pregnancy. I came home loaded with supplements and morning sickness remedies (lots of protein in my meals!), but have also felt really low since then.

    Perhaps I'm just stressing myself out more, but I have been quite flat and teary all afternoon. Is this just hormones? Or anxiety from LTTTC? Or maybe the full enormity is hitting me - I'm a control freak in general, and I have no control over my pregnancy (apart from the obvious controls about what I put in my mouth etc). Why, after all these years of TTC, do I feel so awful?

    So...I've been seeing a counsellor recently for help to get me through the TTC...but ironically, now that I'm pregnant, I feel like I need the counsellor more now than I did then!

    Sorry, this was a downer of a post. On the plus side, DH and I went and saw 'Up' at the movies (better than watching the footy!) - good movie. Now I'm going to go and snuggle on the couch with DH.

    Thanks again for the welcome and all your kind thoughts. I'm looking forward to enjoying my pregnancy - soon!

    Hi Girls

    Just a quick drop in... Big Yay to my Cats for winning the Premiership today. Although can I say that being 36 weeks pregnant and living through such a close game is not ideal but I am so happy that they won this year. Now I'm just waiting for my little "Cats Supporter" to arrive.

    Seph, I know exactly what you mean. After all those failed AC cycles I never felt a need to talk to anyone, but the anxiety I've felt over the last few days has had me seriously considering it. I saw Up the other week too and loved it. It was just before my bfp and I had tears streaming down my face (seriously, it was a torrent!!) at a number of points in the movie... That was my first "sign" that had one of my friends urging me to poas!!

    Why is it so hard?

    Sorry in advance this is a selfish post.

    When we found out we were pregnant, I told a few close friends and family. I have specifically told my mum not to tell anyone from the moment I picked up the phone and told her. Being IVF and the fact that I am still on prednisolone and combined pessaries, we may miscarry.

    But I have already heard her infront of me blurt it out and I had massive go at her and told her to keep her mouth shut.

    Today I get home and have a message from a friend telling me congratulations - she bumped into my mum and she told her.

    I have called my sister and asked her what part of "dont tell anyone" doesn't mum understand. My sister and I are pregnant, she has never had any issues and we are 6 weeks apart, she just hit 12 weeks.

    I called mum and told her that for the 100th time, keep your mouth shut and explained that we might miscarry once I come off all my support drugs and hormones. She has a go at me and says she is sick of MY attitude and hangs up on me

    My sister calls me back telling me that mum has called her and is now going to call the whole family that I am pregnant and tell them. Because with my attitude she is hoping that I miscarry - lovely.

    I haven't called mum and let rip again, cause I don't want to put my sister in that position, but its great to hear what she really thinks.

    OMG kriskit. i'm so sorry to hear your mum's attitude. that is just bloody awful and absolutely no excuse for her treating you that way love. you just need to take care of you and try not to get too worked up about it love - although i completely understand why you are feeling so upset.

    my mum was under the same rules and i have very strong suspicions she blabbed. and she is also extremely good a turning the tables - if you get upset about something, she'll just turn the tables and make it about her.

    sending you lots of love and do try to take care of that precious bundle. can your hubby maybe make the call to your mother and give her a good what for? or go through your dad or such?

    we are here for you lovey.
