    Post of the day for me. Having a son going through a lot of the same issues, it brought a huge smile to my face.:)

    One of the first thoughts I had when I found out I was pregnant was:

    I'm joining in on heldel00, I too am having a baby, 10 weeks gone. Conceived on first go, despite being told numerous times I would need a serious amount of medication to conceive due to underlying medical condition. Was also suffering from depression at the time, being pregnant is better than any antidepressants out there.

    Any more top quality advice?!!!:p

    When the head does appear, don't relax your vaginal muscles, as they will put a bit of pressure on the baby's head. You don't want your newborn having a headache as soon as they enter this world.

    Wildcard and 200-1 bookies outsider Lance Lonrinaggan won the 32nd world tiddly wink championships by a score of 123 - 117 v the favourite no 1 seed Peter Das Schettel of Holland, amazing final 10 minutes , De Schettel was leading 117-100 but Lonrinaggan managed to toss a flying cupper at the last stroke -- amazing stuff.

    I can run tomorrow for the first time in almost two weeks. Only for twenty minutes, but still better than nothing, I was getting very fed up.

    For definite. Some things should not be shared between a husband and wife. Some will disagree but for me this is one of those things!

    Exercise is so important for the mind. Withdrawal from exercise can remove the pleasure being generated from the endorphine release; long term it's very bad for the head.

    Uh huh. I'd go nuts without it, thankfully between crossfit and walking the dog I've had loads of exercise but I neeeeed running in my life and I missed it. The nice man said I can do a little easy run tomorrow though and then another one at the weekend \o/

    A glass of wine a day makes you better looking! Who could not be happy with that news, apart from non-wine drinkers.

    I've been in bits with pain and a whole load of other crappy things and have been waiting to see a rheumatologist for nearly a year, got an appointment for 12th March. Just as well I know the date now or else I'd be pulling my hair out.

    Happened to me too - 20 years not diagnosed properly. ankylosing spondylitis. Got prescribed proper medications (Embrel). Never looked back.
    Now I can run, swim, play tennis etc - no pain.
    Good luck on the 12th. Be assertive. Get answers.
