Hi everyone! I've been reading but really struggling to keep up with everyone. So no persies this time.

Welcome to all the ladies who've joined recently. We've understand the anxieties of the first scan and the first tri in general.

How exciting is it about Megsmum?! Hun, if you're reading this, well done. Look forward to reading your birth story. It's gotta be quick right?

DH & I are still looking for a place to live, so that's been keeping us pretty busy. I had a scan last week, which was great. It was the first time that i could feel monkey moving about and watch him/her at the same time. Saw the midwife today who said that everything was fine and nothing to worry about. I did hold my breath while she tried to find the heartbeat, then realised that i was being silly, cos I could feel monkey move about.

And something odd. I came home today and lay flat on my back, and my belly falls back into a log shape. Almost like i swallowed a whole swiss roll and it's sitting straight up and down. Is that the baby, my uterus? Does anyone know? Or have a similar shape? It sticks out more if I try to sit up without using my hands. It's skinny, kinda pointy and soft, so I don't think it's the baby;s head.

Anyhow, I hope everyone's going well. Sorry for lack of persies this time. Though Erybery, glad it wasn't pre-eclampsia. xo
