Just back from my first scan... Had tears rolling when I saw the tiny pulsating sac... Was so relieved to finally see that so I could start believing that I'm really preggers and not just hallucinating! Doc says I'm 6weeks 2 days and so far scan shows the same... Just so exhausted now... Please keep praying that all goes well during my trip to Sweden... Will msg back in on Friday once I'm back... Hope all's well with all ur lil bumps too! God bless

Other than feeling tried as not sleeping that well I feel fine. Did my usual walk in the gym and that made me feel a bit sick but other than that nothing which worry me. The tension is awful I can see that I will keep doing home test kits lol I go back to conceive on the 21st so long away. I am 4 weeks and 5 days I think did any one else feel much at this point I am trying to walk everyday for at least 40mins and keep active. :)

That's great news! I had very high hCG levels with DS and our doctor thought it was twins, but it was just him in there making all the hormones :D. You never know, though - more excitement for your first scan!

wonderful news. Congrats to you and you OH. Business trips aren't the greatest but think of it in the way of... my last time flying alone, last time packing only for me :) Make sure to take some you time. There are some great meditation music out there... never was my cup of tea but found it made me relax more even if it was to listen to it for 10 mins. Sending you all the prayers you need for a healthy and safe pregnancy and delivery.
