Hello, newbies and oldies. DS and I are off for an Easter break with my father, who's rented a cottage in Devon,so contact from me will be a bit sporadic; however, I'll try to keep up with everyone's news.
Fleebee, you're probably not around this thread any more, but if you do read this, I'm sorry things have gone wrong. I quite understand why you don't want to say any more here; after all, most of us are still strangers, and we are sharing a big piece of news which we are keeping from important people in real life, which feels rather isolating. I'm more and more tempted to tell my mother, as a lot of things have happened since my last pregnancy (various friends miscarrying, and one stillbirth, which was ghastly) and I am so much less sanguine about it this time than last. Last time, at this stage, I hadn't had any antenatal classes, so knew a lot less about everything happening in the body, and hadn't been exposed to the things I mentioned above. I'm also older now - 36, going on 37 - which is a bit older than a number of you bandying ages about on this thread!
I hope I'm not upsetting anyone with these fears, and I don't intend to make the distinctions of age too great, either - after all, we are all mothers! That goes for everyone here, no matter what happens with our pregnancies. We will never be the same again; it's a permanent change, making us more adult, more human.
Perhaps I ought to just call my mother and start getting these fears out on someone who won't be alarmed for herself and her own baby.
P.S. On a much lighter note, health consciousness about what I eat and do is kicking in, and I have lost half a stone since being pregnant!
Have a good week, everyone. 
love, plu
