Zap - how exciting for you congrat's on 2 little beans hanging out in your belly together growing away!

DJ - the contractions thing sounds overwhelmingly exciting and nerve racking all at the same time, it gets my adrenaline going just thinking about how you could possibly be feeling with the contractions! Good Luck on the count down, hope the hospital takes you in soon!

Kotare - so stoked you can feel baby move, everyone has said how quick it will be now till you see the movements and feel them really regularly. I totally sit each night just watching my belly move around, it's so much more exciting than anything T.V could produce! DH was watching me last night and from silence interrupts my belly movie to say 'Babe, you can't spend the next 4 months staring at your belly, you'll go nuts!' It was quite funny.

Marcellous - Congrat's on your little man, isn't it just so wonderful they can give us a good idea these days - i'm guessing the disappointment you initialy felt is/has subsided?? Little boys are great fun, i have 3 step sons and they're just wonderful young men.


Ktgirl - Yuck for you matey, i found Dh bringing in a fruit cup 1st thing in the morning really helped to settle things, particularly the syrup and then when that stopped working i moved to jelly (which i still have now despite being m/s free),i'd then be able to get down a piece of vegemite toast. I also carried plain salada biscuits around where ever i went, they were my real saviours! Don't stress about keeping food down too much, I wasn't eating well and couldn't handle meal time (though didn't go the maxalon!) and lost several kilo's in the 1st trimester, but both the Dr's and the midwifes told me that it was common and not to worry, so long as i try to eat healthy when i can! Good Luck with it, mine passed around 14 week mark.

Hi to everyone else hope all is well!

Hey Zap, good to see you back - glad things went well with your scan. Doubly well in fact! Congratulations x 2.

Can't wait till Jelly starts giving me shows like that Kimbe - i can see my belly move a little when he does 'big kicks', but it's not often. And I reckon you can spend the next 4 months watching your belly if you want to!

Your little girl is so naughty Ltl Panda - Cheeky indeed!

Poor you ktgirl. I think ginger tea (rather than beer - maybe bubbles are not so good...) is good for settling the stomach - but I was lucky not to get m/s so don't really know any good remedies.

Congrats on getting some sleep already Mako! And staring at your son is not really time wasting....

Anyway, yeah, disappointment is over . i think a better way of describing it was just a readjustment, like you say Jo. But we're already there using 'he' and 'his' all the time... no way are we going to keep this a secret for long. oh well.

Hope you are all doing well (ish for those in 1st trimester)
