Wonderful! Congratulations!

My wife had her first scan today... I am feeling completely tearfully, overwhelmed now, having just seen the beating heart of my child. It is something you can't possibly be prepared for. I have never been happier in my life.

Congratulations Cathryn - it can be hard work, but it's wonderful too.

Mine are now 11 and 8, but it doesn't seem so long ago that we were in the same position as you and Mr Ramsden. Hope everything goes well for you all from here on in.

You've seen this, I imagine?

Gentle cycling, whether static or road cycling is a good form of exercise for pregnant women, as it can be taken gently at your own individual pace. As for any type of exercise, wear loose, comfortable clothing and soft shoes. Do not allow yourself to become out of breath or push too hard; steep inclines should be avoided.

Congrats to you both too, FM. If you think you're overwhelmed now, wait 'til you hold your child for the first time... gulp.

I LOVE that quote about cycling being good for pregnancy!! Luckily doctor, midwife and cardiologist (have dodgy heart) didn't even blink at me still cycling, cardiologist positively encouraging of it. I am a lot slower though, esp up hills. Husband delighted, he can now beat me :smile:
