    Hi everyone, Thanks LNB...yep sleeping quite well actually and afternoon naps to boot. I don't normally sleep well in the arvos and then at night. Last night was a bit mad...we told mum and dad we were pg and it was a very restless night of nerves and emotion. They were thrilled and so so surprised. i think they had kind of given up on it bless them...so it was a lovely gift to tell them.

    Hi girls, hope the bellies are growing...will get a chance for personals in a week or so.
    Lovve to you all and GOOD LUCK to Shannon...thinking of you babe.

    Hi all my lovely pregnant friends,

    Hope you have had a great couple of days. Thanks for all your kind thoughts and words.

    Good news is all is great with the little ones. I saw their heartbeats nice and strong yesterday.

    AND the reason for all my pain is a hugely swollen left ovary which is sitting right under the skin...NICE!! Got to love the OHSS! Have been told by my FS it'll be painful for a few more weeks yet. I can handle the pain as long as I know my 2 little ones are growing nicely.

    So back for another scan on Tuesday. YAHOO!!

    I'm going to get back into the personals tomorrow night but just wanted to say a big hello to SHANNON. I hope you had an amazing day today meeting your 2 little babies.

    I hope you all have a good night and enjoy your day tomorrow...it's off to work for me in the morning.

    Hugs Bel

    Hi ladies,

    Sorry no personal today as I am still catching up. Well I have finished (at least the draft copy) my assignments. What a relief! I haven't been feeling too great... I have come to a conclusion that my symptoms in the past week are a mixture of MS and indigestion. I feel like my tummy is very unsettled and full all the time but not to the point of throwing up. Can I ask does MS progressively worsen or can I expect this to be it for the next 9 weeks?

    Had a little bit of discolored discharge yesterday (sorry TMI) and it freaked me out but it had stopped so I hope that is normal pregnancy experience.

    Hope everyone is well and healthy.

    Kahlan - my MS didn't get a whole lot worse after six weeks in general, but i DID have some horrific days. i'm now 12 weeks (woot!!) and still feeling constantly queasy - but no where near as bad as i did when it was at it's peak...

    Hi Everyone -

    Bel - great news about the little ones, sorry to hear you are still in pain. I hope it goes away soon for you.

    Kahlan - must be a relief to be at least almost done with your assignments. I've had light spotting for the last 2 weeks, FS did scan on Tuesday and could see no reason for concern so I am just for it to not be a problem. I read that 1 in 3 women experience spotting during the first 12 weeks.

    BG - how exciting for you to reach the 12 week milestone and to have some relief from the MS. Have you been waiting for 12 weeks to share your wonderful news with everyone?

    HM - hope you are doing well. Any luck on finding a better DR?

    Sorry for no other personals but hoping everyone is enjoying their growing belly and having a relaxing weekend.

    AFM - until Friday, I had not had any of the symptoms described in the books,but man did they all come at once ! Friday morning I awoke to MS, major moodyness (poor DH), tiredness and good ole constipation (sorry for TMI). The MS seems to be better now but the rest are still here. I saw my GP on Friday for my OB referral and she said it was all normal and good to feel so many sypmtoms at once. Taking it easy today and trying not to be too cranky

    Hope everyone has a great week,

    Take care,
    LNB

    i was hoping to wait until Christmas to tell a lot of my family - simply because of estrangement between DH and his family, and the fact that some of my family are friends with some of his (it's bloody confusing!) - however, a friend of a friend works at Target, seen DH picking up baby stuff, and not only blabbed to our mutual friend that i was pregnant (thankfully i'd already told her) but also said something to my mum in front of other family. NOT HAPPY! anyway, with her on the blab front, i need to start telling people so that they don't hear things from this woman (who my mum has officially complained about!)

    will tell the last of the "close" family after Monday's scan (woot woot!) - and after that, well, as people find out they find out. i had intentions of doing a cute Christmas Card with 12w scan piccie with a little santa hat on - but seeing everyone has decided to ruin the suprise, i'll just tell people. not what i wanted to do, but everyone seems to think 12 weeks is the magic milestone and i should get over it - so bugger them - i'll not be "cute"!
