Jan/Feb/Mrch 2012 Momies to Be

Hi girls

Some great news from my side. NO MS TODAY!!!! Whoop Whoop. I made myself some of that “jungle juice” and it really helps for MS. Or, it is because I’m 3mnt pregnant today. 4hours before I see my little peanut again. Can not wait for this afternoon

Welcome Juandre, ZelF and Kaye.

Carol, I also thought that I will ask DH to take a photo, but with my cloths on. Do not want to scare you guys.

Maureen, I had a “boob job” (Reduction) when I was 21 years old. And I do not regret it at all. It was the best thing that I could do for my self-esteem. Luckily for me my medical aid paid half of it. Wish I can do it again, because my got bigger with the weight I picked up, but maybe if I loose everything again it will go back to there old size.

Well, I’m of to the schools “snoepie” to buy myself a nice Toasted Cheese and Tomato sandwich.

ZelF - wow I did not know that could tell the gender that early!! So hope they can see mine at my 12 week scan! (i am phoning the gynie, cause I cannot wait!!) So great to hear that alot of women 's babas are still fine even though they experienced bleeding!! Enjoy the next 6 months

welcome Kaye! wow our group is growing! congrats on your pregnancy and a happy 9 months

I had 3 slices of toast so I think it might be wise for me to go walk it off

Debbie, I am constantly signing on to see your news! thinking of you!

Hi and welcome Kaye

Zelf, after your struggle for #2, what a wonderful surprise that #3 came so unexpectedly! I can see how it would be scary too though- but perhaps a small age gap will make them great friends! I always thought it would be nice to have three kiddies (because i am one of 3) but i started this journey fairly late in life (and my husband much later in his *lol*) so i imagine this is my last. (we'll see). *fingers crossed* that its a girl (for both of us!)

Zel- I stopped breastfeeding two months ago and soooo miss having boobs as I dont have any. So last night I was climbing out the bath and DH said- you must be so happy that you will get your boobs back

Welcome Kaye - hope you enjoy your pregnancy! Is this your second?

Hi all

Just had my pregnancy confirmed yesterday, probably about 4 weeks - will see dr in 3 weeks time.

Cookie monster I just had to comment on what you said about the pain. I had a very similar experience with my first pregnancy, also in the first trimester. I was in terrible pain so I called my Dr. He immediately said it sounded like spastic colon which I had never had before but is common during pregnancy. I started taking probiotics regularly and didn't struggle again throughout the pregnancy. Could this be the case?

Justine, I am due 16 Jan(14 weeks this week), but will have a c-section, so hopefully baba sticks till 02 or 03rd January!
And nope, definitely not first, it's our third!! A very unplanned pregnancy, I have a boy of 4 years 7 months, and another boy of 10 months! With our second boy we really struggled to fall pregnant - tried for 20 months before anything happened! I was using oral contraceptives, but stopped, wanted to switch to another brand, and did not think for one moment to use extra protection for that brief period!
But, we are very grateful for this little bean - and I am so excited now, although very scared about the small age gap( little boy will only be 15 months!).
I had a very bumpy first few weeks of pregnancy, was bleeding often, and was 2 weeks in bed due to threatened miscarriage, but all seemed to settle at about 11/12 weeks, we saw little baby at 12 weeks at the Fetal Assessment Centre in Pretoria, and everything looked fine! The dr told us she was 95% sure it's a girl, but I don't want to get too excited, it's just so early!!

Maureen, I don't know what happened to all the girls on that thread, but luckily we can chat here!

Juandre, I see this will be your 3rd baby as well - hope you enjoy the pregnancy!

DebbieF - hope you have good news today!

Carolsch - I also have very small boobs, so I enjoy that part of pregnancy and breastfeeding very much!

Ok chat later again, have to take my oldest to the dr, he has a fever from yesterday, and complain about his ears! He never gets a fever, so I know he is sick!
