February 2014 Mommies :-)

Morning Ladies!!

I hope that you are well and that you had a great and relaxing weekend. Mine was pretty chill to be honest most weekends are now so that suites me perfectly
I have the scan with the GP tomorrow and then on Thursday the big anatomy scan ( was suppose to be done at 20 weeks but we could not get a space until now )
I cant wait to see them tomorrow feels like forever since the last scan.

For a while now when they are very active I have wanted DH to feel and as soon as he puts his hand on my belly they stop moving and last night when were sitting on the couch he absentmindedly put his hand on my belly and there where two soft kicks that he could feel. I was hoping for nice big one's but he was just so happy that finally he was able to feel something. was really a nice moment.

Other than that I don't have much news. Except the building of our new place it still delayed I am getting to frustrated!!!!! But hey not much we can do I guess. I will update more after my scan tomorrow

Hi Ladies,

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Went for my scan this morning. Our little girl is doing great and weighs 688 grams. She was lying in a strange position so couldn't take measurements nor get a good picture. She is getting so big. Daddy felt her move for the second time last night - 3 soft kicks

My friends little boy was born on friday and I went to meet him yesterday, what a little cutie! Now I really cant wait for mine to come!

Hope you are all still doing good

Hi all,
my scan this morning was all good. Little Jade is now 960grams (almost 1kg), and everything looks normal.

My next big expense on this little one is a new pram, because I gave away my old one a while ago, not thinking I'll have another baby...I'll go shopping for this soon.

I heard pampers has gone backwards in quality - with my lb I only used pampers. My one friend said that lately the pampers (size 4-5) she bought are extremely thin and her girls (twins) wake up in the mornings with leaked nappies. She then tried the Huggies Gold (pink for girls / blue for boys) and said no such problems. I think for the smaller sizes, the pampers are still ok because you change them more often. Not sure, but I'm going to try both brands and see what works best.

My 3d scan is booked for the 4th Nov, that is going to be awesome.

Mrs T, you mustn't worry too much. It is very normal to think about all those things and to not be sure what to expect. This isn't anything anybody can prepare you for. Even I get thoughts about how its going to be with the new baby, no baby is the the same. Where do you stay? I had similar (non-support) situation with all the grannies in different provinces, and basically just the nanny/domest to give a hand when needed. You must not be afraid to ask - this forum has some lovely ladies who can asisst with advice etc. Till tomorrow, I'm off to home now.
See ya

Thanks Ladies

Baby Shopping... I haven't started shopping yet waiting to find out the gender of the baby. Hopefully at my next appointment which is the 5th November.

Thanks Marley for the Dischem special, will go get a few packets of nappies

Enjoy the rest of your day ladies
Mwah!

Hi Ladies

Welcome Yumna......

Was just reading every post. We havent done any baby shopping yet. I bought 4 babygrows and mother-inlaw bought a big bag of bibs, towels, vest ect. We want to do all the shopping end of next month. I am not going to have a baby shower. All our friends and family live so far away.

For now my c-section is booked for 21 Feb. Will confirm on 29 Oct when we have our scan. Was hoping and begging my gynea for normal but he said after 2 c-sections the risks is just to high . But the good out of the bad is i will get my tubes gut off when having the c-section. So i dont have to go back later for another op. Also getting the Merina 6 weeks after birth. Gynea dont want to give me a historektomy so going to use the Merina to stop the PMS each month.

Yumna i was also taking the preg omega plus and it made me very sick. Then gynea gave me Pregnavite and that made me feel even worse. So i switched to Folic Acid Forte and the same thing. I am not taking any vitamins from when i was 10 weeks pregnant but i am eating very healthy! Atleast 5 different fruits a day. My gynea is very happy with baby`s growth and all my bloodtests is normal.

Can someone tell me how to upload photos to the forum? I just cant get it to upload pics. I am using my laptop or s3.

Hey ladies sorry iv been so quiet....

Okay this morning i felt the first real kick

I was sooo excited.

I suppose to be going for my fetal scan on 29 Oct but im not too sure as it's expensive and gynae can do all those checks as well for cheaper but obviously not as detailed. Never had it done with my LG so not too stressed bout doing it now.

Wrt vitamins - i don't take anything

My next gynae app is 07 Nov gosh i can't wait havent seen LB since September

I am hoping for a VBAC with my little boy. My LG was born via c-section bcox my then gynae felt iv been too long in labour (12hours) and water broke... Mind you baby wasn't evn in distress....

Anyway lovely to hear from all the ladies... Im also planning on getting a medela breastpump...
