TinaR - thanks sweetie. I am so proud of you 29 weeks. And so organised. I know what you mean about packing your hossy bag - in fact I am already thinking about mine. I have a sneaking suspicion that I will be spending some time in hossy as the pg progresses, it's very weird to be thinking about that at 9 weeks, but better to be prepared. It's weird, DH and I have also agreed on a "reward" aka consolation prize if I go into hossy for an extended stay - we get a wii. Sorry that you got a scare. OMG, for those moments you must have been terrified. Spooning sounds good.... how many cm is your bump now?

Sparkles - make sure you have that u/s. Every little bit helps.

Kirsten - wow, what a roller coaster ride for you. It's weird how short lived the reassurance of the scan can be sometimes. Be strong and I hope your appointment goes well today. I have had expectant management for m/c ie wait and see) and have been lucky enough to avoid D&C's as a result. I don't have any info on vittex. I hope you get some information that gives you some peace.

Tashybabe - It varies for each woman and also each pregnancy, although it is expected that for subsequent pregnancies that you will feel the baby earlier. I think the average is from about 19 weeks. I am sure I have felt the "bubbles" and then more definite kicks earlier but it's hard to know.

Cherished1 - sorry to hear you're hormonal and lonely. Have you got anything you can do to take your mind off it? When DH goes away I always sleep on his side of the bed, as then i don't notice as much that he is not there. Seems to work for me.

Sunbeam - thinking of you sweetie. How are you doing today? I wish I could come and just give you a big hug and wait on you hand and foot. But a BIG cyber hug will have to do

Twin Sis - how you going today? i was doing some reading that said dizziness is common either because of low blood sugar/low blood pressure or because of the expanding blood cells and it takes some time for the body to adjust.

HPL - hiya. It's nice when someone is able to be positive.

Elise - how are you doing?

Karen Van - quiet? Are you busy?

AFM - felt miserable this morning, physically, not m/s, just like I was coming down with something, but have had a surge of the feel goods and am feeling the best I have all week. Might even venture out in to the big wide world. DH though told me he was suffering from a sore throat. Hopefully he kicks it quickly and doesn't share it! Had a wee cry yesterday. I built up the courage to call the hospital to book in and was told I was too early and had to wait til 12 weeks. For some reason after I ended the call, I just felt really sad. Oh well. I am used to inexplicable bouts of tears both from grief and pregnancy!

Take care.
