January 2013 - Baby/Mommy Club!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to all the new ladies; Pamela, ThandiM and Milisue! Our group is indeed growing nicely. Wish you all healthy and happy pregnancies!

Cherikey and Anthea,
I am 7 weeks along with my second pregnancy (without counting the mc) and I swear I am also showing already. I feel bloated and this weekend my favourite 2 pair of denims' top buttons did not want to close. I did not want to squash the little bean so I left the top button undone. I then only realised that my "fat" denim is the only one that will fit at this point... It just feel it is way to early to start unpacking the maternity clothes. I remember a friend of mine had to tell everyone she was pregnant with her third child because at 10 weeks (she initially wanted to wait until 12 weeks) her stomach looked like she was 4 or 5 months pregnant.

Kelz,
I had the same happen to me regarding the left overs. The people in my office are not complaining as I am dishing out mousaka, stew and curry and rice left overs. I I cannot take the left overs home then my domestic whom packs me lunch will be very offended.

NadiaSteenkamp,
good luck with the scan this afternoon. Please keep us posted on what you saw. Trust there are 2 heartbeats and all is well. I am sure the sight of the two little beans will make you feel much better. Have faith!

Snoekie,
good luck with the packing. Packing up a house in this point in time FOR ME sounds like a hel of a tiresome job! Are you driving down to Cape Town? We are you relocating to? Centurion? Sorry... pudding brain can for the life of me not recall...

AFM: I am okay - just little quezzy from time to time. Not sick or really that nauseas I am a bit unsettled when I walk into the house late in the afternoons and I smell dinner, especially meaty dinners like last night's lamb chops. That really had a awful smell.

Good Morning Ladies,
I am so super excited to see so many new faces chatting away with us...

Pamela,
Welcome and congratulations! I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I pray that this little one sticks right to the end. And that you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Milisue,
Welcome and congrats on your BFP as well.
Praying that you also have a happy and healthy journey ahead.
Hope the Fatigue doesn't get you down too much.

ThandiM,
Welcome to you too. And congrats on the beginning of a wonderful journey! May it be a happy and healthy one for you too.

Anthea08,
As far as the cramps go, I had those as well, And seeing as it is my first pregnancy I was worried as I didn't know what is normal. My gynea explained that it is quite normal. In the beginning it is due to implantation, and where I am now at about 8 weeks it is due to your uterus expanding. Your uterus is nothing other than a muscle, and when you stretch any muscle, it cramps up a little. You should only be worried if you spot or bleed after the cramping.

AFM,
I am feeling extremely tired and .
No other news on my side really. We are going back to Cape Town to go and get our stuff in order and pack up our house. We will be back in time for my 12 week scan.

Hope you ladies have a STUNNING day! With as little MS as possible.

All the best Pamela! Pray that all goes well with all our pregnancies!

@Cherikey - i have that same problem, except the fat has now seriously gone hard, like a true pregnant stomach!

Welcome Melisue! Tell us more about yourself?

Hi Pamela, so glad you joined our litlle group (that is growing)

I believe that this little baby will only bring joy and happiness to you and hubby. So glad you started ttc right after!

Hi All , I am due early Feb 2013. Currently 5 weeks pregnant. I have one sone aged 5 and I lost my second son at birth - 24weeks born premature 03 February 2012.
After three month of TTC i fell pregnant in May. I just pray that my baby is born full term and that he/she will be strong and healthy. Good luck to all that is currently pregnant , I will keep you all in my prayers and all that are TTC you are in my prayers as well. May God guide us all and protect us and our little ones here and on the way.

Bwahahahaha Kelz, i've NEVER done leftovers... Even when not pregnant it makes me feel seriously naar!

Welcome TandiM...

Anthea I also feel like i'm showing quite a bit, although there is a lot of fat around my tummy & it just looks like i'm now even fatter...
