Have been lurking in here, haven't had enough time to post til today, and now I'm sooo far behind... again...
I'm feeling guilty, all this talk of dentists. I've been about 4 times in the last 20 years! Oops I really should go, my dentist is a school friend of mine so definitely not scary, I've got no excuse. I've been cleaning my teeth meticulously though, for fear of gum disease.
Airline - such fantastic news that you saw the heartbeat! Its magical, isn't it!? How such a little blob can be so organised as to have a beating heart. Great stuff that you've finally got a date! Enjoy telling your parents the wonderful news tomorrow. Don't worry too much about your ticker, especially if its American, mine always seems to be a day out.
MaggiePie - sorry to hear MS has set in Its a bugger. It was you asking about philly cheese a while ago, wasn't it? I got a really good resource from the NSW Food authority - http://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/...y-brochure.pdf - it outlines foods to avoid etc. With processed cheeses (eg philly) it says safe to eat, but eat within 2 days of opening container. I buy the little individual tubs and it does the trick. Someone else was talking about ricotta (baby brain, can't remember), the booklet says that all those "naughty" cheeses are OK if they are in a fully cooked dish eg spinach and ricotta canneloni. Hope this helps.
Brunette - so pleased that everything looked great on the scan, and yay for the good BP! Goodness me, you're over half way (esp. if you go early ), how time is flying.
Chrissy - great to hear from you, and glad that you're feeling fantastic. I too am finding 2nd trimester is as good as they promised. I'm with the others re your job, see if you can get up and move around regularly to keep the blood flowing. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to work at their pace.
Lairdoz - glad your scan went well and you're starting to feel better!
Sweetie and Shelly Belly - Hi and a huge welcome! Hope you're both doing great.
Hi to everyone else I've missed, there's a heap, I know. I've reached the end of my baby-brain concentration span, sorry...
AFM - well, just had our 19 week scan, which went great! Bub is measuring spot on still, so pleased. Head is normal size, even more pleased! Although the sonographer said there was still plenty of time for it to grow I've been feeling bub every day, quite a few times a day since 16 weeks (luckily, the placenta's at the back), but the lady confirmed we've got a wriggler on our hands! I could've told her that, as bub was doing a Riverdance on my bladder at 4am this morning... She was getting a bit annoyed at how much it was squirming, I had to get up and move around to get it to sleep for a while so she could finish. Apart from that, feeling really good, and starting to get more active finally. Starting prenatal yoga tonight too, yay.
