Hope - Thank god for that! I was at the point of deleting the entire post before I posted it lol I didn't want to say anything wrong, but I couldn't think of anything to replace it.

I dont admit that to anyone IRL tho

Porsche- i noticed your ticker i had worked your weeks out to be roughly the same 4 weeks 4 days so i think its safe to say if we both got the same weeks then that is what your are.

Hi Ferrals

You were right. I was wondering how I was going to do a ticker knowing I couldn't go with the LMP date haha. But good old lilypie had it all sorted.

Gracefully putting my hand up Tegam LOL

Porche, Love'n your ticker!!!!!XXXXX

Got a little bored at work yesterday so got the Doppler out, Love that sound!! EEEEKKKK!

Morning ladies,

Just wanted to say hi not much happening with me just counting days and freaking out cant shake this feeling i wont be in the pregnancy threads for much longer.

I hate this waiting it is torture.

I've turned in to road rage woman Don't dare tailgate me or cut me off lol. I also snapped at my best mate the other day who I usually have infinite patience for. He looked pretty shocked by it and I had to quickly apologise .

Mildez I hadn't thought about the NT scan. Thanks! I'm sorry about your foal. Make sure you take it easy.

Jenna Yay 10 weeks!!

murray: I've been thinking about getting a doppler. Do you mind if I ask where you purchased yours from?

ferrals We're all counting the days with you. Have you tried some form of distraction to take your mind off things? I've been playing sudoku and card games on my phone every time I start getting anxious. It's obviously not going to change anything, but at least you're not constantly focused and anxious about it?

AFM I successfully distracted myself yesterday by putting together my new dining chairs, long enough to get my positivity back. It seems like I just can't shake the overall feeling that things will be ok this time. I'm right.

Did anyone else have strong aversions to certain foods?? For the last week the thought of lettuce/spinach makes me gag. Even typing it now makes me feel ill. It's so weird because it's food that I would generally eat daily and love!

[Mildez]

MsKara yes I have foods that I can stomach. I have drunk like 4-5cups of tea a day for years and now the thought makes me sick. Plus there are foods I feel like that also. I'm also eating cheese (I hate cheese unless its on pizza or potato bake) and gerkins WTF? Anyway I am enjoying it but I am finding it hard drinking as drink makes me feel off. Water does, I wont try Coffee even know I think I might like it (I normally dont drink it) and the only thing I want is Apple juice diluted.

Ferrals I have everything crossed for you for a fantastic result in a few weeks and then hopefully you will beable to enjoy your pregnancy. Keeping everything crossed for you so tightly.

I discovered I am almost 1/5th of the way through lol FX anyway. I don't want it to end early.

Okay-- big step-- I needed a dress for work and started to look at maternity dresses on-line. whoo-hoo! Is it me, or do all maternity dresses have that "baby doll" look?
MMMMM---

Regarding the food craving/aversions: I am having trouble with cooked meat (ha ha), but craving milk the last few nights. Can't stand cauliflower. Can drink water-- but only with lemon slices. Go figure. Love potatoes-- as in baked or mashed potatoes. This has been consistent-- maybe the little one is actually a little spud!

Trying not to be anxious-- trying to ride the wave of our last good news...

Best wishes to everyone wherever you are on this crazy journey!

Hi ladies

Ferrals - I agree with MsKara. Is there some distraction you could do? I'm praying all is ok with bubs.

Murray - Has the doppler helped ease some fears? I'm tossing up weather to get one or not? I'd have to convince DH first though lol.

[angelfish]

sunshine i too also have had trouble cooking meats. It never bothered me before. Also here with the pototoes also i dont care what kind i want them all the time i am thinking that there is something that i am missing that they have

As for the dopplers they are great once you are far enough along and you can get the hb i have one and i swore at the frist that i would never use it again when i was having trouble finding his hb. But once i did its a everynight thing
