Poor you Omi. Hope you are feeling better soon. Hope the sneezes aren't hurting you too badly, I still find them kinda owie. I too would be interested to know what you are taking, I am told there isn't much we can have. Was sitting in the bus in front of a kid with a cold the other day. He was sneezing and sniffing down my neck and I thought uh-oh don't pass it to me! But so far so good. lol

Much better today - hurray! There isnt much you can take but paracetamol so i took that yesterday as kept getting a bad headache, sinus related im sure. Anywhoo..much better today and just normal sniffly cold - although only in one nostril, lol! No problems with sneezing luckily

Lots of herbal teas has been nice too...baby happy as Larry - still!!

Hi Ladies...41 here and though "technically" it is not my first it really feels as if it was since my only other child will be 21 in February...so all is VERY different from back then...also she was not planned and I was so young I really didn't know much of any risks or anything...was clueless if you will...now a totally different story...We went through IVF and got successful right off the bat!!!! This one is a boy so that will be very new too.

Best of luck to you all!!!

Good Morning Ladies - I am 40 (41 in Jan) and expecting our first, very early days, AF isn't actually due until the 21st Oct but I got my BFP last night, we suffered a MC on Aug 5th & at my age I honestly thought it would take us ages to succeed again. We are both very, very happy but equally as worried because of the previous mc. I am trying not to stress too much about it and will try & get in to see my dr as soon as I can. This time it does feel a bit different, I don't feel as well as I did the first time around but I am having stomach pains all the time, they are like mild af cramps & I am very gassy (sorry). I just hope this one is a sticky bean. If all is ok then I am due 28th June 2012

Good luck all
