Hi everyone and sorry I've not been around for ages, work has been completely mental!
Congratulations and welcome to Lizzy and Truffkin.
Truffkin avoid blue cheese and cheese with a mouldy rind, make sure you cook meat, eggs and shellfish thoroughly and avoid liver and pate. They're the most important things to remember with food. I found this website useful at first as I kept forgetting whether things were safe. I had quite a few early scans, at 6 weeks there really was nothing much to see, and a few days earlier there was nothing at all there so we had a bit of a scare when the clinic thought pip was ectopic and a very tense time waiting for HCG results and more scans. At 7 weeks you can see a heartbeat, which is the reassurance you need, as if that's seen and everything measures up correctly there's a good chance everything will be okay. I went for a private scan at 10 weeks as I wasn't sure we'd get the 12 week one before Christmas and wanted to check all was fine (still) before sharing the news. The longer you can wait the better I think as the later it gets the more you can see and the more reassurance you get! Hope your GP gives you good advice but be warned, they can be a bit rubbish when you go in to share your news, mine certainly was ("save your questions for the midwife"!) and I believe that's not uncommon.
Lizzy hope you're getting on okay. I know exactly what it's like being terrified in the early days. This is my 2nd pg after I had a mmc years ago and I spent the first three months so scared that I was going to lose this baby too. It does get easier as time passes though and everyone here was lovely through my (many) panics.
Toria glad the booking appointment went well and you're doing fine.
slowshow glad you've had reassuring results. I looked for empire line tunics before I needed to go into proper maternity clothes, actually picked up a couple of nice ones from tesco and asda and saw some in H&M and new look. ASOS do some good maternity stuff that's not too expensive and their plain tops/t-shirts don't need too much of a bump. I also love mamas and papas for basic maternity tops.
cherry 3 weeks wow!! 
bunny and jolly thanks for sharing your birth plans. I can't believe that I'll actually have to write one in the near future, time is flying just now!
crazyalien hope all was well at the scan, let us know how you got on.
crazyd yay for ML!
Loads more to catch up on but me and DP have decided to try and have a nice evening together so I really should get off the computer. Sorry for not sending messages to everyone but have some hugs and

Have my first proper midwife appointment next week, actually looking forward to it as apart from the scans and rubbish booking appointment and scary stuff early on, feel a bit like I've been left in the dark. Seems like it's getting really real now.
Bump is growing by the day and I'm loving it, actually would love to stay at this stage of pg forever as feeling pretty good and really like the way I look with a bump! Is that weird?!? Plus pip is starting to move lots more so I'm actually managing to go days at a time without worrying whether all is okay. Loving the kicks and somersaults, especially when DP can feel them too. Pip seems to move when he speaks to him/her too, we say it's so he/she can hear better :o
Past the worst part of work now till after the holidays. Finished all my prelim marking today and my reports so no more big time consuming jobs till April. 2 more weeks after this then we're on holiday. Not doing anything exciting but am escaping to my mum and dad's for a few days to be looked after whilst DP varnishes all the woodwork (I can't help because of the baby obviously :o) It's been a very long term since Christmas and I really am looking forward to finally having some time off!
