Hi, askchik, I'm from Perth! Not too far, we holiday down south often - soooo beautiful. I too have been noticing that everyone is from the USA basically, but very interesting to find out how they do things there and how different the costs and treatments of drs are. I'd never even heard of this 'stripping of membranes' or HCG levels and this is our fourth baby! I'm 14 weeks and have not been a happy chappy. Very different than my other pregnancies and also everything is starting MUCH earlier. I was sick then entire school holidays (DH is a teacher, so his holidays were great (NOT)), but it was perfect timing otherwise the children would have been ward of the state. Yeah, we went to the USA a coupl of weeks afetr we were married for six months then travelled around, and also over east of Oz, so once the children came along, very soon afterwards, we only get down south really. Haven't been to Rottnest though - how embarassing! I'm29 years old, just, and due on the 22nd August. :)

kool yeh perth is only 2 hours away. this is my first baby so everything is a bit new to me!! i have an ultrasound on the 28th so i can find out the sex of the baby im soo excited i cant wait

I have to wait another 5 weeks...:( until the 19th week. I was asked at my first dr appt if I wanted to have the ultrasound that detected downsyndrome, but figured it didn't matter to me anyway. One of my younger brothers has DS, and I wouldn't terminate even if the baby did have anything. Apart from low blood pressure, and being sick off and on, my little girl goes to kindy two full days this year, so I make the most of it then and will myself to be sick only on those days! The things we have to do...lol.

Hey!
Im a newbie here for I felt unwelcome in the forum I was joined in! :-(.
This one does seem friendly however so hope to stay here along with the rest of you Aussie girls!
I live in the NT and am 21 weeks pregnant today, due on the 3rd of July!
I found out just over a week ago what Im having and we are very excited! I've put on a fair amount of weight compared to most ppl at this stage but will blame it due to giving up a 12 year smoking habbit when I first found out I was expecting! lol! 7 kilos... SHhhhh................
Good luck to all you girls through your pregnancies though!
Belly rubs to you all!!! :-)

Hi other aussie girls. I am living in Esperance WA, was in Perth previously and originally a Melbourne girl! I am 16 1/2 weeks with number 3. All going well except much bigger this time round, and was sick early on too, but heaps better now. I think I have only put on a couple of kilos, but truth will be told after my dr appt on wed! My oldest is in full time school this year which is bliss! And we are not going to find out what we are having. Didnt with my two boys, and I really will be happy with either sex this time (too late to change it now!!!) Also, I think I wouldnt really believe the results until the baby was born, so I figure I may as well wait. Hope everyone else is well.
