Welcome Char-leigh! Definitely echo the words of Tegam and CM. Lean as much as you like - friends don't always understand but there will always be someone who's walked in similar shoes in here. I hope the next 8-9 months are completely boring and the BFP is the last unexpected thing in your life for a good, long time!

CM - good luck for your scan! I hope you see a gorgeous little 12-weeker in there.

30 weeks today for me. Nothing too exciting happening here. Back is still awful - the number of times gorgeous DS talks about "back, oww" indicates how much of a whinger I am! I'm playing chicken with him at the moment at the end of the bath. He has to stand up for me to get him out, sometimes it takes a looooooong time, but I wait him out until he gives up - while I can still pick him up, I may not be able to for long and he has to help me out. He is lovely though.
