EJ - Congratulations on your BFP Like everyone said, completely normal to be panicky! I called my Ob at 9 weeks because I wasn't feeling pregnant any more and said "can I have a paranoid Mummy scan". He simply said "there is no reason why you can't have a scan every week, it's better than being stressed out about it". I hope the people caring for you are as understanding. Good luck for your scan - I hope there's a lovely strong heartbeat waiting for you Oh, like Damp, I've "only" had one early loss, but I remain paranoid at times about bringing home a healthy bub. Even now. I think the shine comes off pregnancy a bit, but it doesn't stop the wonder about the whole process and the love we feel for every little bubba held safely inside us!

Cheshire and CM, thanks for your good lucks! We had our appointment and the Ob is very happy with everything, he thinks the swelling is mostly weather related as my BP is 110/70 - normal for me. I'm getting kicks up near my ribs because bubs is carrying high, not a lot down the bottom there, but is a normal size (thank goodness). Still says, if I go into labour naturally, I have the same chances as anyone else of delivering naturally. So we're still firmly on the VBAC path - I think DH is coming around Got my GD test referral, I'll have that done in a few weeks time. So yay! All good in there atm, getting lots of strong movement and kicking love it. Oh, also heard the heartbeat on doppler which was lovely to hear it ticking away. That's about as high tech as my Ob gets, but I'm happy with that too, he thinks pregnancy and birth are natural things and his job is to facilitate what our bodies do naturally. His reasons for going into obstetrics (said to my aunt when he was an Ob student many moons ago - she was working with him) "I don't think women are given enough respect". This is why women love him!
