Hi lovely ladies!

Just a quickie - looking at the posts regarding costs etc - am probably telling you something that you're already aware of, but don't forget that you can claim 20% of any medical out-of-pocket expenses (ie after medicare and health fund rebates) over $2000 in your tax return. So that would include OB fees, and as far as I know, the balance of our IVF? God knows we give enough money to the government, we need to get back every cent we're entitled to.

Brunette - I was looking on the baby bonus website, I don't know your personal circumstances, but one thing I did notice which made me think of you - the $75K taxable income threshold in the 6 months prior to the birth does not include "deductible child maintenance expenditure"? I'm sure you've already done your sums, like I said, it just reminded me of your situation. That totally sucks if you can't get the baby bonus.

Congrats on hitting the 12 week mark! Great stuff, especially now you're out and about in the car. Found out my GTT was OK, but I have to have another one in 6 weeks saw my new endocrinologist last night, he said I'm gonna have to have a few. I'm taking Floradix now for my iron levels, he was happy with that, he said any type of iron is good. Floradix has got vit C in it too, to help stop the constipation.

Lise - sorry you didn't get a good night's sleep, could it be that things are maybe starting to happen?!

Ninah - thanks! So sorry you had your little fall, great that everything's OK though - phew! I'm trip over nothing at the best of times, I'd better watch myself as I get bigger.

LondonMiss - welcome back! Such a bummer about your computer, I too would be lost without mine. Can't believe you resorted to the ironing for entertainment, you must've been desperate you poor love!

Paula - hope you enjoyed your antenatal class last night!

A big hi to anyone I've missed, so much for the quick post!
