May/June/July 2013 Mommies to be

PIPI - shame man, so sorry about the shock! Yeah we sorta had it too with my last pregnancy as at the first scan my gynea also thought it was twins, but asked us to go back at 8 weeks to confirm... and at 8 weeks it wasn't. We nearly died... so i can only imagine how you feel!

Niki... well i had about 4 days off from the morning sickness and then yesterday i think i had to catch up for the lost time... and today i am not feeling too much better either... just preying it goes away now... was crying my eyes out last night after my daughter went to bed... telling DH how i just couldn't take feeling like this anymore... shame poor man didn't know what to do or say for me....

DH and i are taking our little one down to cape-town for christmas, we have family there who is going overseas and asked if we wouldn't mind house sitting for them... so being that we are Joburgers... we though why not... so yeah i am pretty much counting down the days until then... (to combat the MS) but in the mean time i have two months of work and the usual year end rush to deal with

Hi Ladies,

Pippi, can only imagine what a shock it was to find out you were having twins, but glad you are excited now. You are lucky about them MS, as I have also heard its usually worse with Twins.

Kerry, how is the MS today, I also had it a bit easier over the weekend and thought it was coming to an end, but no such luck, was back in full force on Monday.

Juandre, are your kids feeling better now?

Jellybaby how you doing ?

AFM- Still have the MS, hoping it will disappear int eh next few weeks, as I am 14.5 weeks now, had it until 17 weeks with my daughter so hope it doesn't last longer this time. I have my own business working from home, so trying to wrap up the final bits and pieces before I shut down for December holidays, but not feeling very motivated, think most people are exhausted by this time of the year, add exhaustion and morning sickness to the mix and I am not very productive.

What are all you ladies doing over December, any one going away ?

have a good day

Hi ladies!
So sorry to heard about your MS, I can't believe that I am having none of that so far. I just have some "empty tummy" feeling sometimes and I solve it by eating ...
I want to buy the lollies to see if that helps with that, but unsure where to get them. Do you know if Durbell has them? and clicks?

I am really happy today as I just saw the twins moving arms and legs at the Dr.
I am just 10 weeks so I am looking forward to see them growing

In regard of how was the news about twins and how I felt about it, it was really early, around week six. And after I got the news, I spent a week crying (hormones and news together...bad combination). I was not really sure of what to think or what to do or what what what.....this is my first pregnancy, and, that week I was thinking..."I don't know what to do with one...so...what am I going to do with two".... Also twin pregnancy has its risk...and also supposedly double MS (so glad this is not the case) so I was a bit confused. My family and closest friends don't live close by, so I saw a dark cloud in the horizon. Even when my husband was really supportive and optimistic.

After a week that cloud lifted and nowadays (10 week), I am super mega happy about my twins! I consider myself really lucky and I can't think about a different situation.

related to the kilograms, I am a bit scared to gain too many kg, so I just joined a Pilates group and I hope to keep going until I cant go and join again after birth whenever I am allowed. I think exercising is good not just for us and our babies, but also to our mind states .
Is anyone here doing any exercise during this pregnancy?

Jellybaby, really cute pics!!...

Have a lovely week moomies!

Jellybaby, cute pics... i must also take some... i think its about time... really starting to show!!!

Sorry about the MS - mine also seems to come and go... friday and saturday were terrible, but today isn't too bad actually... guess i should stockpile my eating today while i can huh?

Juandre, WOW... it must be hard, but you will cope and also bear in mind that when this little one comes the others will be 6 months older... and that i am sure will definately be a huge huge difference. Hang in there it does get easier!

Have a great day ladies - and FX tomorrow we will all feel better!!!

Morning ladies,

My MS is really horrible, no throwing up but am nar all the time

Had a busy saturday and then yesterday my eldest spiked a temp of over 40, followed by my 2 year old also spiking one. Needless to say I got 3 hours sleep last night and am really wondering how I am going to cope with 4 kids... I lay in bed at 3am crying about it all. I know its a blessing but sometimes I wonder how we are going to manage. I feel so guilty for having these feelings because there are ppl out there who cant have babies and we must be so grateful for ours.

As I mentioned before I had 10kg left from my last 2 pregnancies and most of it was in my tummy, lots of ppl have asked me if I am pregnant in the last few months since Keira was born as I still look 5 months along. So I am starting with a big boep already. At least now when ppl ask I can say yes instead of embarrassing them by saying no.

I hope everyone is well!!!

Hi Ladies,

Nice pics jelly baby, I am also starting to show quite a bit now. thanks for updating the front page with due dates, I will also be going to the natural route.

MS is still there, felt a bit better over the weekend, but hen it was back in full force this morning, since I am 14 weeks now I am hoping its going to start easing soon

How are all the other ladies doing ? have a great week

Morning all,

Seems really quiet around here. I'm hanging in here, my ms returned with a vengeance. But besides that all is well. My next scan is next week and I just cant wait.

How is everyone doing? Pippi how are "our" twins doing?

O my whatsapp group buddies asked me to start taking belly pics. early I know but decided why not its my last one so need to get lots and lots of memories. Now if only I knew how to post a pic I would. I'm going to try anyway.
