Gosh Mel, that must be hard for your friend, and also for you, I think there's a sort of 'luck guilt' that us long-termers feel when WE fall pg and we know of other long-termers who haven't made it yet. Anyway, that's how I feel, I just want all the long-termers to fall pg and join us in this thread and have a wonderful pregnancy.

So glad to hear that m/s is tapering off, hope it is for Sush, too.

Sush, your av is cute!

Well a little update from me: my coccyx is on the mend, thank goodness. I have a special pillow to sit on and am now very vigilant about sitting still or in a bad posture for too long. My heartburn comes and goes, seemingly unrelated to what/when I eat. My bump is growing, though strangers would not notice that I'm pg yet. The bump is lopsided, though!! When I went to my last ante-natal clinic (with my new GP) he couldn't figure out the position of the baby, which makes two of us! I feel kicks either up under my right rib or down low in my left side, so that accompanied with a right-sided bulge makes me think my little man is lying at a 45 degree angle across my front! I was complaining to my mum about being lopsided yesterday, and poked at the bulge - she told me to stop poking the baby!

OK I have to get a whole assignment done today...*sigh* it's already 11am and I haven't started. Right-o, must crack on with it.

Hope everyone is well today, I just can't believe that Mel is already 12w (a YAY for making that milestone!) and we are all motoring on. Gosh, at some point I'm going to have to come to terms with the reality that I'm going to be having a baby! Yikes!
