hey tori, good to have you back. it isnt selfish at all you have to look after yourself and george.

well i ve nearly finished my second night shift 2 more to go. i hate working nights in the summer as all the kids are out playing and i cant .
thankfully so far they have been quiet nights.

just after a little reassurance ladies. on and off all day today i have been getting these twinges in the left side of my uterus. they arent perticularly painfull, just new! its prob just stretching pains right as my uterus grows to accomodate kitten.

i cant wait til my 12 week scan for a bit more reasurance that kitten is doing ok. the worries are starting to creep back in now as im around the point my friends baby died and apart from being super tired i have no symptoms.

oh i ve just noticed, i ve moved up a box, yay im in the last box of first tri.

Beth - twinges seem to be a daily part of life from about 9 weeks on for me, I think it's when the baby really starts to grow in size so that uterus is undergoing some pretty intensive stretching. I'm still getting it now pretty much every day so try not to worry. It won't be long til your scan now and as you've already seen the heartbeat and baby was measuring around the right size then it's unlikely that anything will go wrong now. (I know it won't stop you worrying though as I still worried like mad - but luckily my dating scan was at 10w5d so I didn't have to wait too long for mine).

Hmm I really don't understand why all my clothes are tight and I look huge when I see myself but if I compare myself to photos from 3 weeks ago I still look exactly the same I can feel that my uterus has shifted up and my lower belly feels much harder and firmer but it just doesn't look any different. I even have a linea nigera appearing but no real bump and I'm convinced I felt some movement again last night.

I wonder when I will actually feel like I really am pregnant

First photo 11w5d and second 14w6d

Morning ladies;

Blondie- your tummy looks fab; trust me you'll look back at this in a few weeks and wonder were your flat tummy went so enjoy it while it's still there hun ( i promptly lost mine 9 years ago with my first and learning this time not to eat everything in site )

I know what you mean about not feeling preganant I've just ordered a hi bebe as i've lost all my symptoms (apart from my boobies) and can't really feel george at the moment can't wait to feel him kick tho and then will rest my mind.

P.S i'm a yellow

Beth your kittens are so adorable; Yay you for moving up on the ticker

Caitlenc were are you?


Well as said above not really feeling any symptoms getting slight cramping which i sure is George moving about and the syst disapearing. but it still makes me worry, God i wonder when i'll stop all this worrying?

I'm going to go to the MW next week as given up smoking the second time around is harder, But my stress levels have hit the roof in the last 2 weeks and she said i shouldn't worry as she thinks all will be ok once DH gets back to normal and i stop worrying so much about him. I know it makes sense but still feel horrible smoking with little un in side me, Silly i know.

Well hope you ladies have a lovely day i'm off to do the garden

Love

Me and George xx

It's strange isn't it - somehow the morning sickness was reassuring and now it's gone and there aren't many symptoms it's wierd. Though I've been having crampy stretchy feelings for a while now - just the uterus expanding so not to worried about that. Can feel this hard band on my lower stomach which I'm assuming is my uterus.

You will be able to quit smoking again Tori honey - once things settle down a bit and once you start feeling George move around you will have a constant reminder kicking you from the inside when you do But don't beat yourself up about it - the stress is worse than the odd cigarette

15 weeks today

hi girls!! can i join you?

my EDD is 19th January 2010.

i'm quite confident that i'm going to be sticking around, don't think this bean is going anywhere. still getting a bit of brownish cm but i've been told not to worry as hcg still on the rise and i've seen the heartbeat. time is passing quickly up to now but think thats because i've had quite a lot going on. got another scan at 9 weeks which i'm looking forward to.

I'm not booking in with the midwife until i'm 9.5 weeks (earliest appointment i could get). i will have had 3 blood tests and 2 scans before i've even seen her and i've already had my appointment through for my 12 week scan!

hope you are all well. cant wait to see some bump pics x
