  I don't have any friends. I'm not after the pressure to attend these just because everyone else is. I've tried facebook and I has caused me more problems. At this stage I'm thinking of stearing clear of people as I just can't handle anything right now. Maybe I have some sort of depression or something

  is this normal?

  I've been feeling so over emotional lately I can't seem to think straight or do anything right.
  I'm feeling safer staying at home, I'm hating facebook groups. I've been trying to find other pregnant women my age in my area and not had a great deal of luck as the group I found, I had a huge run in with admin and now have been blocked from the group. I really don't know what to do. I just wish I could hide away forever it feels so bad.

  Thanks. I don't feel comfortable with someone like that as I've heard lots of bad things about them. For me massage and a back support of some kind is more my style. I'm more into natural alternatives than drs and their nasty ways

  Pregnancy lower back support

  Has anyone used any type of pregnancy belly band? I'm trying to decide which one to get. I'm in need of one for my lower back as I'm top heavy. My boobs are basicvally sitting on my belly. I'm wearing a fitted maternity bra. This is the one my bra fitter told me about http://www.blestbras.com.au/detail/60/Anita/Baby-Belt.aspx

  I had sore breasts. I probably had bloating but hard to tell as I have pcos and bloating was part of that too. I had no signs of morning sickness

  1. Fatigue/exhaustion
  2. Gas/flatuence
  3. Mild/dull cramps/pressure
  4. Bloating
  5. Backache
  6. Headache
  7. Sore/sensitive nipples
  8. Increased cervical fluids
  9. Nausea
  10. Tender breats?

  I'm feeling more confident about sharing. There are certain ppl We've been sharing it with. I'm not comfortable putting it on facebook, and I guess I don't want ppl to make a huge fuss like a lot do over the birth of a baby. I'm quite happy keeping it mostly private.

  When did you feel comfortable sharing your pregnancy with the big world?

  I've struggled for 12 months to concive since I have PCOS. I'm feeling really reluctant to share the news of my pregnancy. I'm now 18 weeks and a day. My family knows as does hubby's. Not all Family members know though.
  I've told a few friends via private message and I'm trying so hard to keep the news off my facebook page.
  
  I'm feeling confused as hubby hasn't really shared the news round either. He's only told a few of the guys he works with. One happens to be due 2 days after I am.
  
  Is it normal to feel this way? I openly shared my fertility struggles on my facebook page but now somehow this feels so different.

  We're having a surprise baby. Hubby doesn't want to know. I originally wanted to know but the mnore I thought about it the more I felt comfortable not knowing. It feels more special nmot knowing what bubs is. Bubs is a week smaller than the due date. Still getting pain around my ovary (hoping it's just my pcos pain) midwife wants to keep an eye on that though. She did say it could also be ligaments stretching too

  

  Bub at 19 weeks and 1 day

  This is my latest pic of bub. The sonographer had lots of trouble getting the pic's she needed as bub just wanted to hide.
