soon you'll be adding to it believe me!
try not to strain when going to the loo, sure fire way to get piles! plenty of water and fruit should help the constipation.
take your folic acid and don't worry if you've not got morning sickness yet it will come!

I have permanent low level nausea - does that count? Quite worried about my very low blood pressure but hopefully it will be OK> It is so low nurses gasp when they take it!

Welcome to the pregnancy thread skintchick... Seems like the wedding and special occaisions people are all heading here lol...

Oh, and you have the same LMP as me... My due date is calulating as 18th May on the internet but I've not added myself to the list yet, going to see the midwife first just to be sure...

Skinty, good luck at the Doctors today!! xx

Well we'll see what doc says at 10:40 about this yacking - spoke to dad last night who has a superb memory bless him - said mum survived on tea and a slice of toast before getting out of bed in the morning for quite a while... But I think work stress is not helping! We'll see what she says...

Morning all - have put in a query on the babycentre site this morning, will let you know if/when they come back to me.

Congratulations Skinty - not sure what your doc will do though...probably just tell you to book a midwife appointment (they don't confirm your pregnancy...in fact they don't check that you are pregnant at all until you go for your scan, which puzzled me!)

Shellsuit - lol at your hubby...mine is still saying 'I've still got it' and talking about his 'supersperm' and I am 17+2!

MrsTine - good luck at the docs today...if nothing else all the talk of barfing is making me nauseous again


With regard to books I got a Miriam Stoppard one which I look at when I want to know something specific (it is very factual and biological) and 'What to Expect When You are Expecting' which I pick up and read chunks at a time...but most of all I am loving the babycentre emails...each week they tell me what is going on with baby and with me. I forward them to Hubby and he loves them too (has even taken up a few of the suggestions of rubbing my feet etc!)

Just back from my 16week check at the m/w, heard heartbeat rate was around 150, isn't there an old wives tale about heart rate indicating gender?

Everything else is fine, I don't see anyone now until my 20 week scan which is actually at 23 weeks and I don't see m/w unitl 28 weeks by which time its nearly Christmas, I thought this pregnancy was dragging but I suspect its going to speed up from now on.

I can also feel baby moving now so thats helping me not to worry so much but it was still nice to have the reassurance of hearing the hearbeat today!
