Thanks logic - I agree that it is nice to hear the positive side too. Remembering that I will soon hold my baby in my arms keeps me going. However, I think it's important that people still feel able to have the occasional whinge, because we can all support each other. I think we've got a good balance in this group.
Sam - I agree about the gaps between midwife visits. I only see a midwife for appointments, not a GP, and my appts. so far have been 8,16,26 wks and that's it - next one not until 32wks! It seems like ages, but as everything is going well for me in terms of baby's growth etc. (still nauseous/sicky but they can't help me with that!), it feels OK. I know that if I have problems, I can always ring a midwife, which is reassuring.
As for sleeping positions, I keep waking up in the night on my back and sometimes find my right side more comfy. Like someone else said, you should lie on your left if you can because otherwise blood flow back to the heart from the lower body (via the vena cava) can be restricted. Apparently this can lead to swollen ankles & joints where the blood pools, and pins and needles and even feeling feint. It's a bit hard to stop yourself moving in your sleep though! I shouldn't worry too much.
