September / October / November mommys 2012

Thanks for the welcome

Well we are team blue again, was a bit disapointed with the news and i am clear this will be my last child, so i would have loved a girl, but i've accepted that this is what God intended.

I had natural birth with my first and would like to go natural again, but my gynae is not so keen coz my first child was quite big at 4.05kgs, so she really thinks if this child is going to be big as well, i should not take that route, coz im quite small in build. But we will see. My two SIl's have both had successful VBAC's so elams mom, it can be done. Are you not a bit nervous about changing Gynaes so late into the pregnancy?

Ladies how do i keep my posts private? or restricted to this group alone, is that possible?

Thanks ZoeCat! I will go this weekend.

@ Elamsmom: Game stores currently have the ECONO-HEAT PANEL HEATER for R289.99.

Meant to say he will start telling me why it is unadvisable to have a VBAC.

Morning All

@ Joybaby: That's great news. I also felt baby move at 18 weeks. What a lovely feeling.

@ Elamsmom: You can purchase the wall mounted heaters at Clicks, Game, Builders Warehouse. Most large stores have them. Look at the store catalogues, you can also get them online on their websites and you can check prices.

We bought ours just after winter 2 years back, and it was on half price. So we installed one in each room. You also get them in differrent sizes. I have the medium size ones in the bedrooms. And the large ones in the Nursery and Lounge. The good thing about them is that your electricity bill does not sky rocket, so for us it was a good buy.

All the best on the decorating, and well done on team pink

@Joybaby: I just wrote a whole long post and it didn't post! Anyway, I was saying that I totally get you about our caregivers being upfront with us. My biggest fear is that my gynae is going to wait until that time when I am almost due and I am scared & vulnerable to start telling me all the risk factors and why it unadvisable to have a caesar. He's already asked me what was wrong with my last caesar? & why would I want to put myself through a vbac?

I have consulted with a midwife from Genesis and I loved her. I have decided to use her from now on so seeing her for next appointment in about 4 weeks time. i am very excited!

Thanks for advice about wall heater. Where can I buy it? Builders warehouse? makro? game? Even though baby will be born in Spring, it only really warms up around end October- beginning November in Gauteng so I still would like to have one.

What a coincidence about feeling both babies movements for the 1st time at about the same time in your pregnancy!

I seem to be having that pelvic pain that u normally experience after 30 weeks when baby is really big. Like the baby's weight is weighing heavily on your pelvis. Strange that this time I am having it SO much earlier Anyone else?

I forgot to add - something very interesting happened today.

I finally started feeling baby move 'for real' and today I'm 18 weeks 3 days along.
With my last pregnancy, I was exactly 18w3d the first day I felt movement!
How weird is that hey!!!
