This one was about 2lb 6oz at 28w, and we'll see...

Anyone watching BBC News?

There's a half hour report on now about medical assistance dogs - the first 15minutes has been focussing on dogs and diabetes. Might be on iplayer if of interest to anyone.

Yep, everything they said above. I think early pregnancy is terrifying, however wanted it is, and whatever history you've got. Add in anything out of the ordinary and it magnifies that.
