Diana, it's not over till it's over. I think both Helen and Sue thought that AF was coming the cycle they got pregnant. I remember scrutinising their temp charts daily to try and see a sign... but I always knew Helen would get pregnant in Sept.

Yay Katie, so happy to hear from you. I have been thinking about you and your little family and wondering the same thing i.e. what happens once you actually get a screaming baby? Anna's birth sounds pretty rough on you. Forceps = stitches? Oh but I am getting all giddy with delight imagining you with your little girl and DH being all protective daddy. Nathaniel's probably saying "See mummy, I told you everything will be OK. I was meant to be your guardian angel." And you mustn't leave this thread. I demand that you stay. Pls pass over your baby baton to me now :-)

Rozzie, I'm glad my big mouth wasn't offensive! I want this week to be over for you too. Sounds like bub knows you need extra TLC this week and is obliging you and Alec with loads of kicks. So you can see the kicks from the outside now? Exciting! Do you still use the doppler at all? David and I were talking about whether we would get one but I think if I wasn't able to find a HB, I would completely lose the plot even if it's just because the baby's in funny position.

Helen, congrats on a good scan. It warms my heart each time I hear about your sneak peeks into your babies' world. Did you get a pic to keep? Was it one of those fancy 4D scans?

So Rozzie, Tildy and Sue have the next scans? And Laney too? Can't wait, I love watching you guys pass milestones.

As for me, I am still pretending that I'm cool and not knowing when I can test. I looked at pregnancy tests today but it was in the same Priceline where I bought my last kits so I decided against it. I really feel like I'm pregnant even though I'm in no position to (it's only CD17), I wonder if I'm one of those crazies who display signs of pregnancy without being pregnant. Not a good time to go crazy at the moment!

How are you going Jo?

Hi and hugs to Paula, Cindee and Buliej.

Oh Buliej, I've been seeing a naturopath since April and she's had DH and I on a course of vitamins and herbal supplements to nourish our body and help our baby-making bits along. She recommended that I saw a homoeopath to help with my emotions and she has been that and more. Through tonics that you take via drops in your mouth she helps me work through my emotions, reduce my tendency to dwell on things and get stressed about stuff that hasn't even happened, and generally just offer a comforting shoulder. I also had acupuncture for eight weeks and also found that great but it kind of clashed with the other two so I chose to drop it.
