February 2013 Moms

Hey Nixie,

Wow, why (if you want to answer) are you only going to take such a very short maternity leave?

The only other person I know that's done it too, is my gyne.....

Good luck.

Hi Haidee

My Maternity leave will be so short i am not going to put pressure on myself for breasfeeding (only the fist week or 2) personal choice .

There is so much on the market , with my son it was far more limited.

Baby City actually have 2 rows full.

all of them plus minus priced the same R10 or R20 differance.

I see that S26 Gold had an upgrade and i am thinking of going to buy that?

confused mommy aai!

Hi Nixie,

Yip, me too, I'm dying of pelvic pain. Some days every step hurts, feels like I want to hold my hands down there the whole time, just so there is no movement.

I'm definitely breastfeeding again, got an electric breast pump this time, won't be the only one to be able to give baby feedings. That drives you insane and want baby to get used to both breast and bottle, then the transition is not that difficult later. I don't want to be breastfeeding when returning to work.

As for formulas - NAN has a lot of sugar, which adds on to the cramps babies get. I've given both my boys soya milk.

Hallo Ladies

How are all of you??

I am 34 weeks. Baby is doing very good 2.1kg!!!!

I severe pelvic pain. can feel baby moving in

are you guys breasfeeding?

Any formula spesific?

I see there is such a big variety on market , hard to choose!!

Hi Suhaila,

No, not going for a c-section. I was just thinking of the tube tying, haven't even discussed it with my gyne yet, I wanted to last week, but completely forgot. I'm seeing her again next week, hopfully I will remember to talk about it then.

This will be my third boy, I also think 3 is a good number....

My first two pregnancies were very easy and enjoyable, but this one not, so I don't ever want to be pregnant again!!!

....oh yeah, and the weekend have come and gone.....still no bags packed....ooops! At least we finished the bathroom to such a point where I'm now able to relax in it every day!!!!! Absolute heaven!!!!

Blackie has your lb made his appearance yet?

Haidee, I would like one more (God willing). Think 2 kids is too little, 4 is a bit too much financially, so 3 is ideal you are going in for a tubal, and I think Blackie said she was having a sterilisation? Are you guys going to be having cesareans then?

Maries, fortunately it's been raining and cooler here (just a bit) as well. How did your last appointment go? How is baby? Will u see your gynea every week from now? I have my next appt on the 4th. Counting down the days, can't wait to be a mummy to a little girl.

Hugs everyone, and waiting for your reply blackie

Hi ladies,

Hope all is well.... I am sure everyone can't wait for their bundles of joy to arrive.
Haidee, glad that baby is picking up weight!! That is a good sign.... Hang in there, few more days to go.

Suhaila, how is the heat in Durban treating you?
We had a rainy weekend, was nice for me....

I am 37 weeks this week. Going to the doc on Thurs. It is also my last week at work. My boss wants me to come in for half days next week, I will see how I feel.... I am getting tired now...

BLACKIE, where are you??? Is your baby still in your tummy?? LOL
