Welcome flyingbex and Dreya.
bex, I had a mc in Feb, but like you, this one feels different, so hopefully we will both have success this time.I'm sure everybody here will be supportive, so use this thread as a chance to talk through your worries and get lots of hand-holding.
dreya for me, cramping feelings have been a feature of my successful pgs so I am delighted to get them again. Don't worry, lots of people have very different experiences in their pg, so the fact that you haven't had this previously is ok. Also, I had ds2 at 39 with no age-related issues and will be 42 soon, so you still seem young to me and I'm sure you will be fine.
dobby sorry to hear you are having it tough at the mo.
I'm suffering the most awful hayfever at present and am worried that the violence of my sneezes (they really are uncontrollable) will cause some harm. I don't drive so have to walk to get anywhere and therefore am confined to the house except for essential activities or things I don't want the boys to miss. I'm seriously tempted to try some beconase which I have in the house. what do you all reckon? The last thing I want is to play Russian roulette with my baby's health, but if the risks are vanishingly small, I think it's better that I can get some peace from the symptoms. I took beconase in previous pg, but only at later stages.
