Tea tree oil in the bath I think helps? I hope the bleeding was nothing. I had a few spots last time but was nothing as supposedly some people get a tiny bit of breakthrough bleeding when their period is due - so maybe that's all it is?
I picked my midwife from that list. I agree that feeling comfortable with them is an important thing. If you've got a particular kind of birth in mind it might be worth talking about that? Also, if the deliver at the hospital you want to deliver at.
One thing I asked this time was about rostered days off as I didn't really like the system my last midwife had as it turned out she wasn't even rostered on over my due date! This one only has one weekend a month off, so good odds that she'll be there.
My boobs feel bigger already, but no other symptoms apart from grumpiness and hunger. I felt like lamb chops last night and haven't had one since my last pregnancy as not something DH likes so we never buy. 5 weeks today! I think I better make the most of this week if MS sets in soon.

Cool, thanks for the heads up on the MW's. I've read all the posts on them. I think I'm going to ask my friend about hers as she birthed in a clinic with a pool last time and it sounded great.
We told my inlaws last night - MIL freaked out and nearly screamed the house down, she was so excited!! It was such a great response. Husband had tears in his eyes :)
We are heading to the west coast today to tell my mum and step dad.
I vomited up bile yesterday and feel really nauseous now so don't know how I'm going to survive the 4 hr car drive.
I really hope the bleeding is nothing Nikki, all the best for the next few days ladies. Hear from you soon
xx

Nah, it was nothing. I figured it was from being so raw...it was literally the tiniest tiniest bit...like a mm big. But paranoia is a terrible thing.

Hi girls,
This is my first post, and my first pregnancy! I'm due on 2 September. I got my BFP on 29 December - completely out of the blue as hubby & I weren't trying - we're about 9 months ahead of schedule but oh well...
I look forward to getting to know you all over the next 8 months! :)
Symptoms-wise - I have tender and swollen boobs and a bit crampy with lots of twinges all day long, but no sickness yet - long may that continue!

Re Micreme-H.
This is from Medsafe guidelines that come with it:
Pregnancy and Lactation:-
Caution is recommended during pregnancy and lactation. Treatment of large surfaces and the
application under occlusive dressing should be avoided during that time.

welcome wimble!
nzpiper I hope the thrush clears up soon hun sounds nasty and sore!
lol jacobsmama I feel the same! I took a look at my profile in a shop window yesterday and it wasnt pretty! this christmas indulging pregnancy indulging and no exercise with my foot injury = not pretty!  I have a personal trainner and shes offered to come to my house tomorrow to do upper body, so thats nice, cant wait to get back into it!
my boobs are sore on and off but ive noticed the ms has started I feel sick on and off all day, especially if I go for big gaps of not eatting, I really didint want to eat more than I should first trimester like I did with Jayden (hence 30 plus kg weight gain) but its hard when eatting helps the ms!

yes I know exactly what you mean. I have tried snacking on rice crackers today to stop the nauseous feeling that comes and goes. I need to watch my diet because I have been wanting crap! I only put on about 10kg with both my boys...had some reserves to start with and I hope to not put on much this time either.

Wow, 10kg that's pretty good. I hope on 17kg last time including a couple in the first trimester. I'd like to avoid putting any on in the 1st trimester if possible and don't have a vending machine or anything nearby so will have to either walk or drive to the dairy if I want something so at least then I'll have to REALLY want it
Welcome wimble!
I've booked in my scan for next Friday, can't wait

I'm hoping to not put on too much in the first trimester either as I think I put on at least 5 (total of 17).
I spoke to my mw from first pregnancy and she is stoked to take me on again. I'm not seeing her until the end of Jan as she is on holiday and am feeling pretty relaxed about the whole thing at the moment
Welcome wimble, whereabouts do you live?

Hi all, congrats Wimble and Bex!!!
Not much to report with me, feeling very un-pregnant, apart from getting really tired mid arvo and feeling yucky in the stomach, not really nauseous though. It's a weird feeling.
Back to work for me on Monday, I work fulltime as an Assistant Manager in retail, so could hit me a bit harder when I actually have to do something with my day rather than holidaying!!!
Has everyone rung their mid wife? I have chosen who I would like but haven't quite made the phonecall yet, Guess it makes it more real, maybe I'm scared. Oh uh!!!
Hope everyone is feeling ok and long may it last.

Baby #1
13 months in the making!

So I'll share a bit about myself. I'm Bex (22) and my DF (27) have 2 beautiful children Alex (almost 3) and Hannah (1), so this will be #3 for us. I am a SAHM and also am studying part-time..... not sure what else to share. But have no doubt we will get to know eachother a lot better over the next few months.
As far a symptoms go, not much for me yet, although had an overwhelming urge to test today..... and look what happened ..... and would explain the needing to pee more than my toddler
