January 2013 - Baby/Mommy Club!

Tazzy9: I kinda made up my mind...lol. The pain was to unbearable and I don't see myself go through it again. I wish that I don't have to do it but I can't wait any longer as I am 31 weeks already. I have the clove oil that you can put in/on and its not very helpful.

2 months is long...

Sorry I just saw the pic was sideways - anyway most of you mums will figure out whats what

@Kelz - sorry you having a Blue day... My mom passed away when I was young and my hubands mom lives in England and my older sisters live on the opp ends of the earth so I dont have anyone either just good friends and an aunt
I think you made the right decision Re: the breast pump, do you think I can exchange mine if it already went through on medical aid?

@Juwayraj - Are u sure you want to extract the tooth? Not trying to scare you but I have had 2 removed and it was very painful and they gave me strong pain killers to take afterwards? Can they not just give you anti biotics for now to kill the infection or what is causing the pain? I heard if you bite on cloves in helps? it numbs it?
Sorry you have to go through that!

Anthea...I did not even get to go look for the andolex...my Granny said I should try "naeltjie olie" - it worked for like a few minutes but thats it!
I agree on having the pity party...lol.
I havent cried in a while and believe me..I had quite a few of those moments when I just broke down and cry...feeling sorry for myself. Last night I felt so sorry for my hubby cos he said he felt so helpless and he never want to see me in so much pain again. Then he better not go with me when I'm in labour...lol
Somehow I think toothache is worse than labour pains

I am just so uncomfortable...can't sleep on my one side for too long. gotta turn every half hour or so. And then I'm growing by the day I'm getting HUGE!!!

@tazzy - awesome pic girl!! YAY for babas that are growing so well hey!!!! Cant wait to see your 4D pics - drink lotsa coke before the time... It almost guarantees great pics! We go for ours on the 19th... Cant wait hey!!

Dont Worry Trayco...I too don't have a nursery and will not have one. Baby will be sleeping in his cot in my room. We have also been renting down the road from my MIL and recently moved in with her as she was sick all the time and my husband was very worried about her as my FIL passed on 4yrs ago. And also then we dont have to be running up and down between the 2 houses. We are currently deciding on what to do with the house as the rest of the family wants us to buy it as all of them have their "own lives" and are quite comfortable with where they are now. We haven't decided on what to do yet but I think it is an option...we are not in a hurry at all!! My husband on the otherhand is mostly the family man and would always put the family's interests 1st (that's with my blessing of course...lol) I would do the same for my mom but she's much younger and very healthy and still have a husband to look after her so she's quite fine! So we will just see how it goes this next few months.

@Kelz: where are you from originally? How far away is your mom? I know EXACTLY how you feel - my mum lives in France and we only see each other a few times a year... Luckily my parents are arriving the 21st of December and they stay till the 18th of Feb - its gonna be AWESOME!! All the best with your SIL - please keep us updated? Sending lotsa hugs your way!!!

@Juwayraj: Shame hun... All the best for today! I had a friend who had a tooth extracted in her third trimester... the only thing they cant do is an x-ray, and they cant give you a certain type of antibiotic... but dentists all know this... Did that Andolex not provide temp relief even?

I hear you on the everything going wrong with this pregnancy! We should have ourselves a pity party, with non-alcoholic drinks, and feel right sorry for ourselves... and then move on... Hopefully both babies turn soon hey! I must say its very uncomfortable for me... feels like all my insides are sitting in my throat! And lets not even mention the heartburn I drink 2 rennies ever 2 hours...

@tracyo - Good on for you for spoiling yourself!!! Hope you too come right with a swimming costume... Its madness what these "maternity" labels charge for such a simple piece of material!

Hi Ladies

Most of you ladies seems sorted - love the baby room pics!! The changing station in the cupboard is a great idea...

@Cherikey: The nappies looks super cute! Let's hope it's a girl...lol. But I would also not worry about the colour if it ends up being a boy. Sorry to hear about the baby shower The "nappy Braai" sounds cool!

@Anthea: Last week at my appointment the doc also said baby is breech and also that theres more than enough time for him to turn into position. Glad everything is okay with Morgan

@Tazzy9: Lil Connor is cute! Love the pic... Happy that you enjoyed your baby shower! Its aways nice to see how much your friends and family cares.

@Kelz: I know exactly how you feel...my mom and I are not that close but we do chat almost everyday. I am the only daughter - and believe me - when I feel sick or off she's the one that I miss most! I hope your sis and baby is okay Dont you stress too much as you also need to look after yourself

AFM:

I had the worst weekend ever!!
My brother's 21st party went well...I'm just glad that's behind my back now. But for the whole weekend I had this toothache that simply did not go away. I tried going to a few dentists to have it removed but most of them doesn't do it while in 3rd trimester Everyone just says wait till baby is born and drink panados....Panados?? it Doesn't help at all!! I was hysterical which I know is not good for the baby but I just couldn't help it. I just broke down as the pain was so servere...Sunday it was okay the pain just came occasionally and yesterday I decided to phone every dentist I could get to ask if they can extract it for me as I am not willing to suffer from toothache for the next 2 months...I finally got one and I also contacted my doc to ask if it's okay and she said it's fine. I hope I'm doing the right thing here. I am soooo very nervous and scared but this is something I have to do

Seems like everything that can go wrong is going wrong for me it is quite depressing but I try to not think about it too much...I have 9/8 weeks left then all of this will be over.

Have a great day further and wish me luck for this afternoon!!
