Me4- I don't know what it is but something tells me you are going to be ok. I hope my instincts are right.

Greenslw- that sounds nice

Calluna- If I had of carried my first to term, there's no way I would have tried for DS1 so soon but it still hurts to have lost that one and all it meant. I'm no longer naive in thinking pregnancy means a live birth and every time with every pregnancy, I am on blood watch. I didn't really even bleed with that one, just lost a 20c sized clot and then the u/s the next day showed no HB. This pregnancy being so similar in dates to my first keeps giving me flashbacks. In general, it does get easier but there are some things that are harder. I keep thinking about the scan I had March 28 2006 and measuring 10w5d and this time, I will be having a scan on the 18th March @ 10w6d. Baby was fine on that scan and then a week later... It scares the hell out of me. AlthoughbI won't really know until it happens, I don't think I could keep this baby if I found out it were disabled. I already have a SN child with DS1 and a child with an allergy to near on everything with DS2 and so I don't think I can take it away from them, plus, how would I cope being single and with 3 high needs children? Some people may cope and I think its best not to stress too much over it as you never know what you can handle when the time comes. SN children do bring their special brand of joy into their families lives.

Melster- They say that your body is most efficient with baby number 3 so here's hoping

AFM- In quite a mood. I really wanted to meet Richard Dean Anderson today but I'm too sick. I have two gigs lined up for this arvo and noone that can replace me but I cannot let them down. Considering going with a mask to contain the bug so I can keep my reputation. May have to try outsourcing to another company
Been getting wicked painful cramps today but trying not to stress as I remember with DS2 I had the same thing at 9weeks. Feeling very sorry for myself and keep wondering why I'm pregnant. I don't want another child to X. There is also no way I want to lose it either as I know this will pass and I'll love it completely. The ms is playing havoc with my body as well. Even as I have been trying to type this, I've had to keep stopping to retch over my bucket. Thankfully (I think) no actual vomits yet.
