squiz Why on earth would you go and look on the childbirth forum?! Isn't trying to get through the pregnancy enough worry for you?! Silly, silly woman.
And just for the record - no, absolutely not almost all 1st births end up with years and years of problems! No one in my large circle of baby-bearing friends has had any major problems resulting from birth, including me (and DS was not a particularly easy birth).
My advice - stay away from there and focus on what is going on now!
MrsG No bleeding is a good sign, remember that there's lots of stretching and re-adjusting going on in the first trimester, to make room for things to develop, it might well be that! Maybe take some paracetamol? Hope you can relax a bit, easier said than done, I know!
Fod Oooh, that is great news - both about your friend and your appointment. Not long now!
Still feeling bleurgh on and off, no 'real' sickness yet, but hey-ho. This morning, a wave of nausea hit me when I picked up DS's socks from the floor 
Anyone else really tired? I feel completely zombie-fied when I get home from work in the evenings, and it's not even that busy at the moment. Dragging myself to the gym has become very difficult... Meant to be going tonight, and I know already it will take all my self-discipline that I can muster...
