Hi,
My name's Rae (Rachel, Rach, whatever, I answer to most stuff!!
) and I'm 12 weeks pregnant, had a scan last Wednesday and everything seems ok (despite a dodgy start and a previous pre eclamptic pregnancy that didn't end well!) And I'm still panicking daily (which I'm guessing is normal reading other people's posts in here) but trying to keep relaxed. I live in Northampton, but am originally from Hartlepool which means I'm quite far from my family and my husband works constant nights... I have a lot of alone time (sometimes good and sometimes not!) so thought I'd see if there were people to talk to here in a similar position or at least give me something to do with my evenings instead of constant knitting!! 
Anyway... Thanks for listening
Rae
