January 2013 - Baby/Mommy Club!

Hi Ladies,
The lady at the reception gave me the wrong date.
My appointment was actually on friday. But we will be leaving to PE for the weekend.
So i made it clear i dont want an appointment next week (she wouldnt mess with a pregnant lady ), so she squeezed me in tomorrow morning at 10:00.

Thanks to all the ladies for their lovely messages and words of encouragement. U are all in my prayers and thank you for being so kind and lovely yet we dont even know one another. Each time I read your messages I get shivers up my spine. God has put you all in my lives and other ladies lives for specific reasons.

A happy and healthy pregnancy to all of us. To all that are TTC good luck to all of you and it will happen soon.

Ladies I just popped a Vomifene! And it worked!!!! It just takes the edge of that constant nauseas feeling and you don’t have to eat all the time!

I forgot that I used this with my first LO – thank goodness someone at work had a stash! Dashing out at lunch to go get some more! Actually feel almost human again without constantly stuffing my face – hahaha!

Eish Snoekie – I hear you!!! The peace and cleanliness of one’s own bathroom is so appealing at this point!

At Melisue – I have had none yet – thank goodness! With my pregnancy I couldn’t stomach any meat!! It was terrible – I would walk past a steers in the mall and would want to hurl! Couldn’t handle the sight or smell or sight of it until well into my fifth month! All the best with your tea aversions – perhaps try cup of soup for the winter?

Anthea08,
I feel your pain, just had to run to the loo. Made it just in time. I WANT TO GO HOME... and trow up in peace.

Good luck to all the early showers. Honestly can't wait for my bump to appear. or more specifically for this first trimester to be over. so I can be done with this MS and fatigue.

Melisue,
I will try the mints... Thanx for the tip.

Nadia,
Sterkte met daai scan vandag, Hoop albei hartjie klop sommer mooi sterk! Kom hou ons maar op hoogte.

Morning Ladies,

Thanks for such a warm welcome

Feeling little better today... I must say I have found something that seems to be helping me a bit with the MS.... PEPPERMINTS!
I have them stashed in my car, in my draw, in my bag... literally everywhere.
The moment I feel queasy then I just suck on a mint and the feeling seems to subside.
I also constantly feel like I have a terrible taste in my mouth so it helps with that too!

Anyone having any food aversions yet? I am completely off tea already (same with my first LO) so sad cos I usually love my tea and now I don't know what to drink in this cold weather

Snoekie,
Best of luck with your move... we moved into our house 6 weeks ago so I can really sympathise! Very stressful!!

NadiaSteenkamp,
Hope you get wonderful news at your app today xx

Pamela,
Praying for a happy and healthy 9 months ahead.

Oh by the way I am 30 and DH is 32, from Alberton area. We have been married for 4 years and together for 12. My little boy is in creche and currently we busy with potty training.

Have a fab day everyone

Hi Laebella,
We are relocating to Pretoria east.
We will be selling of most of our stuff, as it will be too expensive to bring up to this side and we are currently renting a furnished apartment.
I really am NOT looking forward to the packing! We are driving down, so that we can bring back some essentials. like my Kenwood mixers and sewing machines, things like that.

Hi there Ladies

Hope you are all doing better than I am this morning! I am extremely nauseas and queasy!!!! I constantly need to eat to keep the nausea at bay – I have never been this hungry this often before! It’s like I can’t stop eating! If I don’t eat the naarness attacks me with a force hey! Just coughed and had to swallow!!! Wish i could go home and not be at work!!

I figure I am around 7weeks and I agree that it’s too early for maternity clothes ! But what else are we to do???? I am not fitting in most of my clothes! Today I just had a really bad day with dressing for work and just don’t feel good!! At least with the maternity clothes I will feel a lot more comfortable… (I hope…)

Leabella and Cherikey – we are going to go through the same thing – having to tell people earlier cos we are so big – hahahahaha! Seriously think I will unpack my maternity clothes this weekend!

@Nadia – all the best with your scan today!!! Pray that the doc sees two very strong heartbeats!!! Sending lotsa hugs your way!

Snoekie – oi – good luck with the packing!!! Where will you be moving to? We are in the process of building in Midstream – and then our surprise came along! Praying that they will be finished building by latest December – I don’t know how I am going to manage a move with a big tummy ! Very worried about that! Thanks for allaying my fears. Thank God no bleeding or spotting while cramping!

Have a great, not nauseas day, ladies!
