   Hi there, I am also another Mum due in August, (12/08). 
I am 4.5 weeks pregnant now and is my first. Am a little bit nervous as don't know what to expect.
 I haven't felt any MS yet at all, a little bit of cramping is going on but not alot. We are going to tell my parents tonight, we will wrap up a little baby tshirt and write on it: Congrats on being grandparents or something like that.
 Just working out what i can and cant' eat, a quick question can i eat canned salmon? Someone said to keep away from canned goods, but am not sure??
 I had Blood Tests done on Tuesday (only 2 days after period due) and the HCG was 110, is this about right?
 Thanks for all your help.

   I've been eating canned tuna and had no problems.

     I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

   Not sure about canned fish (not a seafood fan)... but welcome to Oh Baby!  There's a thread in General Chat called "Let me introduce myself..." if you want to read about some of the rest of us    |

   Welcome to OHbaby! I must be the resident food nut during pregnancy here coz I avoided just about EVERYTHING! But canned fish is 100% safe, and canned salmon is a great source of calcium and omega 3 which are good for bubs development.
 And 110 is fine for 2 days after AF was due. The importnat thing with hCG levels is that they double every 2 days initially. One number on it's own doesn't really show much.

   YAAAY!! Another August mum!
 Welcome to the forums Sars, I'm a newbie too, and I'm also just pregnant with my first.  I'm 5.5 weeks now, and it is all pretty scary but we'll get through it.     |

   One of you girls should start up a "due in August" thread. But anyways, welcome to OhBaby, congrats on your little "beans" and hope your pregnancies are smooth-sailing    |
