Hi Ladies
Welcome Lauz!!

Went for my 24wk scan yesterday - all good with McK, she's 720g and 44cm
but she wouldn't stop wriggling around and had both her hands in front of
her face the whole time so we couldn't get a decent pic
I've gained 8kg so far
I'm not too umcomfortable (yet) but do seem to get pain where the hip joins the spine at the back
Also not waking up at night to run to the loo (yet)

Hi there

Hi

Lauz, welcome to the group! We've got several first timers here, myself included. Very useful for feeling like you're not the only one in the world going through this

Belaine, sorry you're having such a tough time at work. Only two more months now, hold onto that thought. I'm also off on the 14th August. If you're interested btw I'm at Kloof hospital in pretoria and they have a once a month ante-natal class on a saturday that you can do instead of the 1 hour once a week for 5 weeks. It's super convenient for us as we don't have a lot of evenings free. It still means quite a drive for you from Marble Hall, but might be worth it.

Zoe, I hear you on the hair thing. Mine desperately needs a cut and style but I just don't seem to find the time or energy to go to the hairdresser. I really should as I'm sure I'm not going to get time when lo arrives. Although the MIL has offered to look after him a morning a week so I can go out and have some time to myself. Sorry you don't get on with your in-laws, mine are the only family I have here in GP and they're being super excited every step of the way. Almost scarily so.

Monic@, good luck on the exercises. I'm feeling really stale. Haven't gone to gym in four months now, can't even fit into my swimming costume anymore so that's not really an option either. I'm down to walking the dogs and climbing the stairs to my office and I'm used to a little more exercise than that. Currently I'm figuring lo is doiing the exercising for both of us.

Oh and we've decided on Matthew as a name now. We'll see if we're still happy with it when lo is born but for now it sounds good.

Enjoy your day

Hi there

Im on strike now really everything that i wanted but i dont have the energy left for doing it now it can wait till tomorrow really i struggled the whole morning with sorting out stuff that was unnecessary if they had just do there job in the 1st place!!

Zoe good on you on telling your boss exactly how you will handle your ML. Mine cant come soon enough!! esp after today. Sorry to hear about mil, i think its then better to be alone as to have somebody there that make you feel more stressed.

My mom is coming to stay for a week cant wait. me and mil have our moments but they very excited about my lg!!

Lauz congrats and welcome!! you can be sure of lots of advice here they helped me a lot also pg with my 1st!! Please give us more details please!! boy or girl? how many weeks etc.

Take care
