Oh my God - you ladies have been busy! I haven't been on here for a few days and lots to catch up on.

Lairdoz, glad you spoke to your sister, at least now everything is out and you don't have to worry.

I can't remember but someone wrote about dry skin. I have had that with every pregnancy and the worst is when your tummy starts to stretch and the skin gets really itchy. I found before sorbolene every night helped, and have noticed that my legs have been dry this week so may be time to start.

On the cold issue, my natropath said garlic, ginger and honey (all eaten together) is good for a cold. And it makes a great stir fry! I too have had a cold for what seems like forever, it is getting slowly better but that's a pregnant immune system for you.

Airline - I hope you start feeling sick again soon. I know m/s is crap but at least you know you are pregnant.

AFM - I also woke this morning feeling 'non pregnant'. No sickness, boobs smaller and not tender (although getting a bit tender now probably because I keep poking them. Trying not to worry at the moment. Wishing that 12 weeks would just get here so can get the first scan done and 'see the evidence'.

On the telling people issue, my first baby we told family around 8 weeks, which was very difficult as my sister had recently lost a baby a day after he was born. But we felt like we had to tell them early for that reason, as the longer we didn't tell the harder it would have been. Other people we waited till 12 weeks. With #2 I was so excited to be preg I think we told everyone by about 8 weeks, as well that helped at work as I had m/s and had to sometimes just walk out of the room, or go and eat. This time we are going to wait. We are seeing the inlaws (who don't live near us) when I am 13 weeks so will tell them then, and to keep it fair will tell my parents at the same time. We have had fun keeping the secret to ourselves, it is nice after wanting this for so long to be selfish with the good news! In saying this I am so bloated and starting to pop already so it will be interesting to get through the next 5 weeks without someone noticing!!

Sorry for all the people I have missed, but kids tearing house apart so must go!
