Monnie, you've made it! No work anymore...how exciting! Enjoy the time of mum-to-be and not for long though, 6 weeks to go and you will be a mum, YAY!
Mako, sorry to hear what you experienced, mabye they didn't mean to be insensitive and just trying to show some care...from my own experience, only being newly pregnant and had little knowledge of it, I always find a bit lost for words when I see someone pregnant and don't know what is approperiate to comment it on...but I do agree if they don't know you that well, they'd better just say "you are looking great, just glowing..."
Apart from still trying to get over the fact that 'Im pregnant", i am kind of having a panic, worried and anxious day all in one here ...I have posted in the other thread, the lack of symptoms start to worrying me, and I called the nurse today to ask for a blood test tomorrow to see how my level is doing...I don't think I can hang on till 10th July, that's just eternity...
thanks Sammi for remembering BW and I are 6 wks, almost for me. That's another reason I worried. Apart from that I can't have tooth-brush in my month for too long (similar to you BW), I don't have m/s yet...maybe I am just incrediably lucky!
BeiBei, I'm sure it's going to be all okay. Just remember that often women don't even know they are pregnant at 6 weeks. It's all the extra stress of IVF pregnancies and knowing right from the very first minute that you are pregnant. My sister didn't even begin to suspect she was pregnant until she was 8 weeks... and yet, with my symptoms, I really would have known (or at least strongly suspected! My HPTs were ridiculously pale!) from very early on. It certainly won't hurt to have a blood test to set your mind at rest. Enjoy being one of the lucky ones that has few symptoms. I wish!
Monnie, must be great to be off work. Got to admit that I'm kicking back in my pjs this morning intending to do some serious relaxing. School holidays have officially started for me - two weeks and two days and I'll be back into the thick of it with a very, very long term.
Sammi, good luck with the scan. I take it you and DH have decided not to find out the sex? DH and I haven't really talked about that yet - that point is so far away for us, though.
mako, I suspect the belly size comments are just people saying something for the sake of saying something, and not being able to think of anything remotely useful... I know I've been guilty in the past of saying similar things to friends. In particular I remember one friend who was really small the whole way through, then I saw her in the last month before her bub was due, and without really meaning anything at all by it, the very first thing that popped out of my mouth (even before hello) was "oh my goodness! you're HUGE!". I don't have any suggestions of how to react, but I'm sure the comments aren't meant to be hurtful in any way.
DH is really getting excited about things now. Whenever we curl up in bed he's just as likely to put a hand on my belly as on my boobs now (perhaps because I keep grumbling at him about the pain ), and even though it's so very early he's practically telling everyone! It is just so sweet - he's going to make an amazing dad!
