Sorry if i missed something need to get back to work.

take care and have a wonderful weekend

I started this pregnancy overweight and therefore I am a bit obsessed. I have picked up 3.5kg at 27 weeks. I am 4kg away from what I weight the morning of my c-sec with my LB. I am trying my darndest to not exceed it, but realistic that I will probably.

Hi ladies

So many posts - i have been reading them just not time to respond properly.

As for the weight gain - I HAVE ALREADY PUT ON 18KG so far. My gynea has crapped on me for putting on so much already - i only have about 6 weeks to go before the c section so I am kind of hoping that there it not too much more to put on. I am suffering for it - my body is taking strain - my maternity clothes don't even fit anymore and i refuse to go out and buy any more now at this late stage cos what will I do with it afterwards - cos I know that within the first week or two you lose so much weight at least anything from 5kg - 10kg. so am sukkeling with the clothes and only wearing 2 to 3 pairs of pants at work and then my tracksuit pants at home.

The heartburn is a killer - i had it in the beginning of my pregnancy then it weared off but now its back with a vengeance. living on milk and gavisscon and some yoghurt and i just feel like eating but i know eating so much makes it worse so I have certainly not eaten as much lately.

i have packed my side of the hospital bag - just need to do the baby things then Im all set to go. I will be 32 weeks on sunday - so not too long to go - but boy do i wish it to be over already. I can have this baby tomorrow if i could.....(I know im terrible and i know pregnancy is supposed to be a good time - but i just cant anymore). Sorry to those ladies who are absolutely loving being pregnant. _ I think I am just too old for all of this - sitting at 35 years old. Certainly not planning on doing this all over again.

Thinking of asking my doc about tying my tubes - does anybody know the process or how its done etc etc. (Im a bit clueless)

Belaine - hope you feeling a bit better and the infection is gone now. we have to be so careful with these things and anything can trigger off labour at this point. Take good care of yourself.

Robyn - nice pic! Does she look like D?

Somebody asked about baby showers - as this is my 2nd child - i dont think i will be getting one but it is fine as i do have everything i need anyways from my first LG. (I never threw anything away.)
To all the ladies who are getting a shower - enjoy it. It goes by so quickly and it is sooo nice to be spoilt so much. Take lots of pics.

im glad its weekend - i thought when i woke up this morning that it was saturday already but no such luck.
Enjoy your weekends.

Chat soon

p.s. I was suffering a bit with anxiety and stress etc last week and my gynea said i could take the rescue tablets - not the drops. So if you want to take rescue for anything make sure its the tablets and not the drops - the drops have alcohol in it but not the tablets. (Seem to recall some moms saying that they would take rescue at labour time or something....)

Hello Ladies,

Its Friday again... yay!!!

@Elams thank you for the heads up on the specials will definitely be getting my ass to a checkers.

@Ginah so sorry to hear about the job - absolutely hate it when companies get your hopes all up for nothing!

@ZoeCat, I have had some cravings throughout the pregnancy - at first it was anything with cheese (mainly wimpy cheese burgers and toasted cheese sandwiches lol) recently been craving coffee but it gives me major heartburn so staying far away from it and oranges (I dont eat oranges as I always found them too acidic for my liking) but that maybe could be maybe because im lacking in Vitamin C.

@Robyn what an awesome picture!

@Nola - as for the weight thing I can definitely see it in my clothes. I last weighed myself last weekend and was sitting on 66kg so ive picked up 8kg so thats at 27 weeks 4 days. Im not too concerned about my weight but I do now and then check if im in the average limit for my height.

Hi everyone gosh I am so bad at keeping in touch but I do read everyones posts everyday. I am 28-29 weeks now, went to gynae yesterday all is great baby is just under 1.2kg but doctor is very happy with everything. We've booked my caesar date for 27 September so far( feels a lifetime away), we are busy with the house now so trying to get things organized so I can set up babys room.

RE weigh eeeeekkkkk!!! I weigh the same at the moment as what I did the day I gave birth to my first baby Petrified to see what I am going to weigh when this one is born. I've put on about 7kg so far.

I'm dying of heartburn - living on gavascon at the moment.I've started getting my hospital bags in order so long just so that I can see what I am still short of.

Robyn,

That is a beautiful sonar pic!!!!

Will pass on those hosipital bags, a tad out of my budget. But nice to double check that I didn't forget anything.

As for the rest of the ladies.... I want to chat about a touchy subject.
Weight gain. If you are comfy discussing, please advise how it is going?

Hi Ladies
Had my 28 wk scan yesterday - all is well and McK weighs 1.2kg (all measurements on track)
Still couldn't get a profile pic, but she did give us an almost 3D-style straight on photo
(bit ghostly, but pretty awesome)



Afterwards DH & I went to Coricraft and picked out the table & chairs - very exciting
Right now McK is kicking me right behind my ribs!!

@Nola - the post is called Hospital Bag....Good Idea (basically it's just for the website
www.threebagsfull.co.za)

Sadly 2 of my friends (my age) both need to have an amnioscentesis (which alone increases
the chance of an MC something silly like 50%!)
And they have to wait 2 weeks to get the results
And the one has been trying for 7 years (and has had 4 MC's )
(that is the friend who didn't speak to me for over a year b'cos I had D and she MC'ed
so really don't know what will happen if there's something wrong with her baby when I have
McK
Really puts things into perspective!!
