WBM: IKWYM, i've also felt so tentative about this pg. Even now, i can't believe there will be a baby in this house in 2.5wks! It doesn't seem real. Even after i passed the first trimester i didn't feel safe like I did with DD. I was scared i'd get further than the last two times only to have something worse happen. FOr a long time when i talked about the baby i'd say 'if' or other things to show I wasn't counting on things working out. I am now talking about the baby more definitely but it feels surreal...

Damprye: IKWYM, I also felt like a fraud telling people I was pregnant for a long time. At work i said very little about it and sort of let people figure it out for themselves. So about 22wks when my tummy was a lot more preggy looking a whole bunch of people said to me: oh, so you are pregnant. I had nightmares about telling everyone i was pregnant and then having to tell them i wasn't (if something went wrong).

Pheebee: I hope all went well today and you had happy news.

LysnDan: I hope the next week flies past for you so you can get happy scan news too.

AFM: Just had a mind-blowing thought: i've been pregnant for part of each year since 2007! (DD then two m/c then this baby!)
In other news: baby is giving me some whopper kicks in the side now. Strong enough to make me jump! Ouch! but I love it. It's reassuring. Having said that, i will not miss being pregnant: i think i've been too stressed by past experiences to enjoy the pg the way i did with DD. THough I smile when baby kicks and talk to it a bit, and I love 'chasing' it's foot around my belly with my hand and giving it a little tickle, i just want the baby out and safe and well.
