Hey everyone, just popping in to say Hello. Haven't been able to use computer much because of carpal tunnel (pregnancy-related) and bad neck (not sure on that one).
Mindhugs, congrats on your course. I studied and still have a long way to go to qualify to practise (psychology), though I've never had kids and really wonder about balancing that. It can depend on your work style, the demands of the course and of course .. the unknown, your baby. Others have already given great advice. Oh, and as for how you have to book OB etc so early, I remember our FS giving us the news that we might have a molar pregnancy (we didn't) and then in the next breath asking "So where do you want to deliver?". I was 6 weeks along. I just gaped, literally. "Deliver? Huh?". GL for the scans coming up.
Also, hang in there Kaybee, Aimee, Possums and everyone in first tri. A tough time indeed. Thinking of you all.
Lairdoz, so you think you'll get induced? Exciting. Let us know how you're going.
Juniper, not too long. How are things with you?
AFM, just hanging in, with a few increased symptoms like sore hands and sore legs/hips (a few twinges but thank god no mammoth cramps recently touch wood). The baby's still head down and the OB says "biggish" ie will be 8 pounds plus which he says is about as big as you'd want for my size (I'm small). Still, my mum birthed my brother who was over 9 pounds, though her second. Anyway, he also said that the baby's prob not coming too soon so I'm just getting used to this and trying to enjoy the R&R (I get a fair bit, though I'm being very naughty and having a small coffee and cake each day, which kind of hypes me up, which is so silly, but it's like I have no self control).
