Hello all.

I bought one of the Carriwell bra's and it set me back 270, then got two for 16O from woolies, i think it will take me through the first few weeks, will check out those feeding tops.

Birth method: c-section
possible date of c-section 26 Sep 2012
Baby's Gender: boy

Elamsmom I totally agree with you, I also didnt want to show weakness just because im pregnant but you land up realising you not exactly the person you use to be and cant do things exactly 100% like you were able to prior to being pregnant.

The nursing tank tops were bought at the Baba Indaba show but they have a website - www.cherishedbelly.co.za not too sure on the cost of it though.

Hi ladies

Yes, you are right. We need to start taking it easy. I think I had this menatlity that i didnt want to show any weakness just because I am pregnant. Like I felt this huge pressure to keep up. But after I got into trouble with my midwife, and after all of your reminders about how important it is to slow down now, I have really made an effort to set some limits for myself.

I was supposed to travel to Port Elizabeth this weekend for my husband's friend's son's1st birthday party but I actually realised that I was just pushing myself too hard. My hubby is leaving early so it would be just me and my LG! Travelling alone with a toddler is hard at the best of times. Never mind at almost 36 weeks pregnant!

@Belaine: hope tests go well today and that baby's lungs are fully developed. Wow, to think you'll be holding your little princess in your arms tomorrow! I'm so jealous!

@Lauz: Those Nursing belly tank tops sound very practical. I will look for them. Where did hubby buy yours? I'm all for anything that makes breastfeeding easier and more comfortable.

@Monic@R: Yes, I definitely hope to feel the pressure after the babyshower. The babyshower is on the 8th of September so I'll only have 3 weeks left after that before baby comes! So, I BETTER kick my a$$ into gear!

I think i'm losing track of when everyone is due so maybe let's do a re-cap.

This is me:

Due Date: 30 September 2012
Birth method: Hoping for a VBAC
Baby's gender: GIRL!!!
Hopsital: Genesis Clinic

Good Morning Ladies,

BettsF you are so right it has been quiet, Ive been so busy and my husband hogs the computer so its difficult to get some time to comment on the thread!

Belaine, Monic@R and Mckkim wishing you all the best, you must be so so excited! Please post up pics of your little ones! Im so excited for you all!!!

Have any of you tried the Nursing belly tank tops from cherished belly? My hubby bought me two they have a built in bra the straps clip off and the tummy part of the top helps with post baby belly - supposedly meant to help you lose centimetres off your belly.

I went for my scan last week and baby is weight 1.83kg at 33 weeks really happy with the progress, baby is moving so much lately even gave me a fright yesterday thought I was going into labour from the pains I was getting while baby moved - think baby was poking my bladder!

Last week heard some sad news regarding friends of a friend their baby was prem she was due mid September and had her little girl first weekend of August, sadly their little girl passed away on the 19th due to an infection - couldnt imagine what they going through! So please ladies everyone definitely needs to take these last few weeks easy!

Otherwise I have my maternity shoot this weekend and my baby shower next weekend - so excited and then after these two busy weekends I will be relaxing and taking it easy!

Hope everyone else is doing well! Have a lovely day!

Hi ladies

thanks for all the good wishes really appreciate it!!

Everything is packed, dh put the window socks on and the car lic so now its just one more sleep then we off to middelburg at one then my app is at 3 then we wait to hear if the lungs is strong enough for c sec on wednesday.

Dh said she is coming this week no matter what.
she is very busy last night she kicked so hard that i actually shouted "eina" dh felt her toes.

sleeping is really uncomfy so your ladies that is nearing your end enjoy ur sleep i cant remember the last night i actually had a good sleep. thankful for maternity leave taking a lot of naps in the day.

i got 2 feeding bra's at woolies for R160 and they really feel comfortable i saw one feeding bra with lace for R130 will get that later.

I will post asap if the lungs is strong enough then i have to be at hosp 6 am the wednesday!

Take care everyone thanks for being with me my pg really appreciate it!! cant believe its over now.

See - im so tired and got no energy that I cant even type and spell properly.....
sorry about that!!

Bettsf and Elamsmom - you guys are working too had - time to slow it down a bit - don't want any prem babies here..... please try and take it easy.

Elams mom - hopefully you will start feelign the pressure now after your baby shower and get sorted for your baby - the last thing you want and need is trying to run around getting everything like the day before..... you need to rest now and take it easy.

to be honest - i don't know how some of you have all the energy to do it all - I just simply don't have the energy to do anything..... thinking about taking some of the blackberry elixir now already!!

Take it easy ladies. Look after yourselves now - there will be plenty of running aroudn once baby is here....
