Jan/Feb/Mrch 2012 Momies to Be

There is still some slight bleeding but if i keep still and dont get up and walk much there seems to be little to nothing. I have booked an ultrasound with Danie Schneider for Monday morning they managed to fit me in once i told them what had happened so that was nice of them!

It has been suggested by some family memebers that my cervix may not be closing properly and a stitch or two would fix this has anyone else had anything like this and should i stay on my back until Monday?

oh gosh, the moment after Ben was born i went straight for all the things i wasnt allowed while pregnant.
caffiene, alcohol (let any one deny me my celebratory glass of champagne! ), sushi you name it and didnt have any issues with the breastfeeding. i think such a small amount actually ends up in the breast milk.
that said, if i had had difficulties, or a overly-restless child, i would have cut things out again. hope things go as smoothly this time around

Mom2b - I truly believe that is a good sign.

Debbie - the caffeine will intervere, baby won't sleep.
- sushi still a no-no after birth will breastfeeding
- as for Feta my gynae gave me the go ahead on it
- no sure about the prawns though, but if they are cooked can't be any problem.

As with the shellfish, not sure now anymore. I remember staying away from all shellfish when I was pregnant first time round, but now I just don't know.

Yay Mom2B!!!
that is most definitely a good sign! has the bleeding stopped?
gosh what a scare. when are you going for an ultrasound?

Well Ladies...............my numbers have doubled in the last 48 hours so I am hoping that this is a good sign and that if i had MC it would have definitely dropped by now do you agree??

Morning or is it afternoon Ladies.

I already have a list of things my DH must bring me after I have had the baby but still in hospital , need to check if any of these interfer with BF:

- Sushi
- Biltong
- Wimpy Coffee
- Prawns

think there was something else cant think of it now.

I thought you cant eat any shell fish , I might be wrong.

Some article's say no feta others say Feta is ok , would love to believe the latter.

Mom2Be - Fingers crossed that your HCG is on the rise.
Justine - Ah lunch @ 11 , sounds like it can do the trick,
Maureen - Sorry about the nanny having to go but we gotta do what we gotta do to make the budget balance.

Well DH is finished writing his exam so we gonna go do some stuff for the house now , enjoy your weekend..

with my son i put on a ridiculous amount of weight and I am determined not to let that happen again.

Cheese include brie, camembert, feta (ive already broken that rule).
Oh and i also read now that intake of liver should be limited due to its vitamin A content? but maybe check that.

its funny, before my mc i was going to play it cool and not stress too much about the long list of 'donts'... then i lost the baby and now im being all extra vigilant again.
