Oh boy, joy at getting to this stage, and then dread at new worries, and risks regarding my age. Now I'm looking forward and dreading the scan. What if they find something wrong when screening, at thirty seven, I feel guilty for leaving it till now to start a family,but I was not ready mentally untill my late twenties, and my husband took a lot longer, the users went by and I never felt any older.

However, back to the midwife. She said that I was still in a low risk category for my baby possibly having downs so I should try not to worry and focus on the positive,

I'm half way through week ten now, and noticed stretch marks on my right boob.Already? Wow wonder if there is just one? Wishfull thinking eh.

Wy hips feel like an eighty year olds at night, but I found that placing a pillow between my knees at night gives me a couple of hours until I wake up in pain, get up for a wee a drink of water and then lay on the other side for a while, been having headaches, and completely lost my appetite yesterday. I had to force myself to eat, feeling good about my bump, and crossing everything for week twelve :)

Good news!! Congrats on getting this far.

I found that later on, the best thing for a good sleep is to go to sleep hugging one of those long pillows. Seems to give best relief for hip pain, helps with balance (when the tummy gets gi-normous!), and seems to make the bubba happy (more wriggle room?). Anyway, keep it in mind for down the track.

All the best.
