January 2013 - Baby/Mommy Club!

Hi Ladies,

I am 6 weeks pregant and my Due date is around 28 Jan 2012.
I have a little boy who is 2.5 yrs old so this is will be my second.

Suffering terribly with MS ALL DAY LONG !!
So tired too which is really tough when you are running around with a toddler.

My first scan is only on the 25th June so feels like it's going to be a looooong time until I get to see whats happening with this little bean.

Looking forward to chatting with you all xxx

PS: Not sure how the whole ticker thing works....

Hi there ladies!

today is not such a good day for me, feeling very queasy!!! Dont have MS as such - just queasy (for lack of better word) and have to constantly eat or drink to keep feeling better. The minute i dont do that its terrible and i feel like i could throw up!!!

@Kelz - i do the same with my leftovers... and today the thought of it is making so sick!!! Is this pregnancy going to be characterised by sickness and queasiness!?!?!

@TandiM - only going to see our gynae on the 14th of June... but based on my calculations (dont have a first day of last period because of coming off the pill) our date of conception is around the 2nd of May... and our EDD is around the 23rd of Jan as well!!!! How awesome is that??? We were just as surprised at our BFP!!!!!

@Cherikey - keep us updated on the cramps girl! Pray that it passes quickly!! I get cramps lower down, almost like period cramps... Not sure what is causing it! Any ideas anyone?

Also suffered from BAD MS with my first pregnancy - and gynae confirmed that its a good sign... Means everything is progressing well... I suppose each one is different hey!

Cant wait to see our gynae on the 14th - just need that confirmation that everything is going as it should be!!! Very worried about the fact that we conceived so soon after coming off the pill, and not having a normal period before conception! Should i be worried?????

Any second timers starting to show yet? My stomach looks like i am four months already!!! Cant be bothered to pull it in.... So now i do look pregnant!! And this after finding out on Thursday that we are pregnant! Everything is progressing so much faster with this one...

Mornings

Kelz & Nadia I know exactly how you guys feel.

I thought I was just being lazy but seriously, if I can lay down whole day, I would. I can't even get up in the mornings....but I'm sure once we hit the 2nd trimester mark, our energy will come back. I am just very happy that my DH is so helpful and takes care of the kids and the rest of the house work. And I am truely blessed that my inlaws lives up in my street and they do ALL the cooking since I'm allergic to step into the kitchen these days...LOL.

Welcome to the group TandiM!!

Have a great day ladies!!!

Good Morning all,

Having a very bad day today with exhaustion - I know I keep mentioning it, but seriously I don't even have enough energy to lift my arms - does this pass?? it makes me want to

Cheriky, I have to agree with you about the "empty stomach" Nausea - mine is terrible, but I also have the same thing if I smell certain foods which I would normally like..but it's strange because I ate spaghetti last night and brought leftovers for lunch at work (as I would normally do) and right now I can smell it through the tub next to me and it's making me feel sick - dont think I will be eating my leftovers

Hope everyone has a great sick free (as much as possible) day

Hi Ladies,

I'm new to this group. On Satuday I got a BFP, and went immidiately for bloods and they confirmed the BFP and showed that I'm anywhere between 5 - 8 weeks. I had an appointment with my GP yesterday and he says I'm about 5/6 weeks along. He checked my blood pressure and it was perfect. I have made an appointment with a gynae on the 20th of June, this will be my first scan and I just can't wait, I am SO excited. With the help of some online calculators, I have calculated that I am due around the 23rd of Januay 2013.

I really didn't think I would get a BFP. I have only been off the pill since Januray and my cycle has been different every month. So when I thought I was late this month (when my cycle was past 35 days) I decided to wait until the weekend and test...which is when I got my BFP. I have had absolutely NO symptoms, until Saturday when I had decided to test - I was naar the whole day, and since then I have been naar on and off every day. But no sore (.)(.) or anything else.

This is my first pregnancy. I am excited and scared all at the same time (not scared in a bad way). My hubby is thrilled about the idea of being a Dad...it's so sweet. I can't wait for ou first gynae appointment and scan, just so that I can see that all is okay and that this little one is growing the way it should be. We are telling our parents tomorrow (I really wanted to tell my Mom face to face, and I'm only seeing her tomorrow - will have to phone my Dad who lives in CPT and hubby's folks who live in PE). We have a few friends who know...but we won't make any kind of "announcement" until 12 weeks (well, if hubby can keep his mouth shut that long)

We live in Alberton in JHB, I work at the airport and hubby works in Eikenhof.

It's so nice to hear all your stories and see all the scan pics, it's great to know that there is this network of people there to give support to and get support from. I look forward to growing with you ladies.

I just typed a comment, and it dissapeared!!!!!!

Anyway...I think this pregnancy & the loss of my baby girl is getting to me!!! It feels like i have short term memory loss.
So ladies please bear with me, if i ask questions agian & again....

Feels like the Nausea is coming back...atleast not the "sickness" part.
Everytime i cough, or sneeze, i want to gag...Its terrible...

Anyone sensitive for certain foods?

To all the pregnant fairies, have a lovely day...
