February 2013 Moms

Congrats on finding out Nixie, and u did good girl, for all the nausea and vomitting u went through ur lg is 30 grams more than mine and we due a week before love the name

Oh no Haidee, that sounds awful:( and dangerous (hug). Hope u get answers soon. Congrats on your big baby turning 16 and I hope u find a lovely name for your 3rd special little boy

How is everyone else? My next appt is the 27th and 4D is on the 3rd. Its my 30th birthday today we leaving for Cape Town on Saturday for a weeks holiday to celebrate and enjoy time as just the 3 of us:)

Thank you, choosing names is my favourite part!!!

Please get your Iron levels checked. I also suspected iron levels as symtoms worsen in second trimester. one blood test! Good Luck !

Yip, I've started watching what I eat when and making notes of how I feel afterwards. Nothing in particular so far... I'm suspecting that it might just be a serious iron deficiency. I've always had a problem with anemia.

Oh wow, congrats! That is a very beautiful name. I've been wracking my brain and books but have not yet been able to find a name for my 3rd little boy!

Haidee that doesnt sound good. I also had a very very tough 4 months, until i dotted down all my symtoms and we figured out my sugar was unstable... possible pregnancy diabetes. i stayed clear from sugar for a month a now only take in sugar when nessasary. So for 2-3 days dot down ALL symtoms as it could be something else, try helping your doc figuring out whats wrong! pregnacy is challenging as it is, i know it sucks being ill! good luck and i hope you get better soon.


AS for me its a...........drum roll..............GIRL!!

we decided to call her Tové .

she is weiging in at 460grams. meausures 100% towards our original due date of 7 March!!

Oh yes, something else I wanted to share. Last night while lying on the couch, my little one came to me, he cradled his little arms around my belly and started to talking to "his brother". My heart still warms up every time I think about it. He is already so protective of him, it is amazing.

Hi Ladies,

Haven't been here for a while. Hope you are all well. I have not been having the best of times though. My firts two pregnancies have gone by with no real issues, but this time I'm not enjoying it as much. I am feeling really 'unnaturally' tired, I even fell asleep/blacked out for a split second whilst driving home from work last week. This is so seriously stressing me out, my husband was so upset when I told him, he said that if that's the case, he's not going to allow me to drive until the Dr's can do something about it. I'm seeing the Dr again next week. In the meantime I got myself some Blackthorn Elixer, as that's supposed to help with exteme fatigue. ....my nausea is also back.....I feel like sitting in a corner and just crying about it. I'll wake up at night from nausea! Not to mention when I get up in the mornings.

Luckily my 3 year old is such a little angel at the moment. I just realise every day how extremely blessed I am to have such a well behaved toddler. He is such a beautiful and happy little soul!

My oldest son turned 16 this weekend!!!! How crazy is that?? It is making me feel very old

Well, I am hoping that life is treating all of you really well.

Nixie - do you have any news from your Drs visit?

Good luck for tomorrow Nixie (hug)
