    Just wanted to quickly say a cheer of "yay" for hayles and Greenslw. What a relief for both of you.
    Hopefully your pg's continue to progress smoothly

    Cherished - i agree with the others about having your HCG checked. I have had mine done twice weekly for the last few pg's and it certainly helped get me through until scan time

    Just a quick one - very excited to see ticker has kick started again and is moving along - oh lord - I'm going to be 6 months on Saturday - where the heck did most of my second trimester go and if that was my peak energy load for this pregnancy I am in so-ooo-ooo much trouble with the coming third trimester

    Cherished - you should see me on a day when I don't think I have felt the baby move - seriously - it has been a long journey to some degree of confidence - I think I cried when I saw a heartbeat on my 7 wk scan (I never got to see one when we lost Marley last year) and then at 16 weeks I finally heard the heartbeat at the GP's before the 20 wk scan with bub - it has been very hard in between to keep away the doubts and that nagging little voice which doesn't want to trust my body anymore... But as you say - it is that mantra of honouring each pregnancy in its own right that you just have to keep reinforcing for sanity...

    I was trying to read a book last night in bed and it actually lifted when the baby kicked upwards in my stomach - energetic little tacker - I think I'm getting a preview of what my ability will be to find a quiet moment very soon in the future

    Anyway - immersed in the joys of Hitler at the moment - lord I love marking...

    Great week to all

    Hi Ladies
    Cherished - Just wanted to let you know that i worried like mad about lack of m/s at the beginning as had it awful with DD, didn't start until 7 - 8 weeks and not as bad.

    Karen - Know what you mean about worrying about movement, have been feeling him kick a lot harder this past week.

    Will catch up with more persies soon having a tough week with headaches and sickness again, has anyone else had it return after 20 weeks? At hospital for results of doppler scan wed afternoon.

    Cherished Don't worry. I think we all know what it's like to analyse every tiny symptom (or lack of) for something to give us hope.

    Hayles Yay!!!! I'm glad your scan went so well. xoxo

    Megsmum What a cool way to lose the pg kilos (the wii) and your daughter sounds so adorable. But surely you're not thinking of shedding pounds now? That's something to worry about after pg, and I'm not going to listen to anyone who says differently. la la la *sticks-head-in-sand*

    Greenslw That is a HCG brilliant result!!! I'm really happy for you.

    Karan Van Yay on reaching the third tri!! You're on the home strech, or rather your little one is. Glad he/she is an energetic one and keeping you sane with lots of movement.

    Chappas No good about the headaches & sickness. Hope you feel better soon.

    AFM I started my new job this week and no one noticed my bump. Life is just too good for me today. I just can't believe it. We told our family & emailed our closest friends on the weekend and got some really touching replies. My new job is waaaaay less demanding than the one I quit. It is a lot closer to home and I don't have to lung a heavy laptop around for it, so it means I can sleep in, get home earlier and not be carrying so much stuff. And Bump is progressing. All we need now is a job for DH and an extra room for the bub. Aside from that, everything just seems to have fallen into place. You could knock me over with a feather. The sun's even out in London :O

    But oddly I still have nightmares where I am m/c, and it takes me a moment to remember that everything is still good in the mornings.
