February 2013 Moms

Morning....

Haidee, please let me know how it goes at the doc.... Take it easy! I know its easier said than done. You have 11 more weeks to go... Hang in there!!

Yes, the boucing ball does help. It eases off the pain...

Hi Maries,

Congrats getting all that done!! Nice big baby! Did bouncing on the ball help take the pain away? If so, I definitely gotto get my ball out. Some days it feels like the bones down there are going to snap.

As for me, I'm off to the dr now. The gyne said that I'd better go swallow a camera, seeing as it is just getting worse, I cannot eat anything anymore without getting excrusiating stomach cramps within the first three bites. I even bought a meal replacement but it does the same. Been trying my best to eat enough, but get so anxious when I feel hungry that I just start crying, because I know the pain that's coming....and the gyne said if I don't eat enough she's just gonna have to admit me to hospital, which I really don't have time for now.

I'm going for my 4D scan next week Friday, then I'll be almost 29 weeks. Can't wait.

OK gotto run now, don't want to miss my appointment. They pushed me in between his full schedule because I'm pregnant.

Chat later!

Hi ladies...

Went to the doc this morning. 29 weeks now! Baby is weighing 1.1kg.
Booked my bed and 4d scan....

He is laying head down already, which probably explains why i have such pain down there. Last night the pain was bad. I eventually starting bouncing on the big exercise ball

How is everyone else doing?

Hi ladies...
Trust that everyone has had a good weekend! Centurion had lots and lots of rain... I actually enjoyed it being cool.

Suhaila, take it easy.... Don't strain yourself. I bought the latest "My Pregnancy" mag, and they have a few articles on c-sections. You can refresh... I read it this weekend, in case of an emergency c-section again.

Yip, 3 more weeks for me and I am on leave for 2 weeks. Back to work on 02 Jan and then plan to go on maternity leave on 25 Jan. Hope I last that long...

When are you ladies planning on taking ML?

Going to see my LB tomorrow morning. Will try and give some feedback when I get back... Looking forward to seeing him

Have a good evening ladies... Chat soon....

Thank you Haidee and Maries (hug). Haidee you got some lovely scans there:)
My gynea phoned on Wednesday, blood results came back. I have group B strep, which is what is triggering the pre term contractions. So I am on antibiotics and will be on them regularly until 36 weeks (we don't want the little one making an appearance before then). Apparently this bacteria triggers pre-term labour etc. Also a vbac is out the question as I can't go into labour naturally (baby can become infected), and prior to ceaser will have to have 5 hours of penicilin intravenously. I'm just grateful we caught it early.

On happier news the year is winding down, so looking forward to having hubby home with us, and the sun has finally come out in Durban (bring on summer and the swollen feet
What do you ladies have planned for the holidays? Maries and Haidee I also feel very heavy down there

Hi Maries,

Thanks!! And yes, I know what you mean about the pain down there!!! I've spoken to the dr and she said that all these type of symptoms that one used to get at the end of a previous pregnancy, comes earlier with each pregnancy after that.

That is why I've been having hectic Braxton Hicks since 16 weeks!

I took a tumble down an embankment on Saturday whilst playing with my little one....nothing serious, just pulled some muscles down there....now it burns like crazy when I walk a lot. ....good reason to rest often

Dearest Suhaila,
You have to take life extremely easy now, you want that little angel in there for as long as possible. I will keep you in my prayers, so all will go well and baby will be safe and sound!

I'll chat again later. My little has been begging me for coffee cookies for a week and now I'm busy baking some!

Lucky for me, my husband decided to get some take-aways tonight!!

Hope to hear from all of you soon!!!

Haidee.... Such beautiful pics
