February 2014 Mommies :-)

hehe, nou eers Izzels? Ek is al 3 weke lank in maternity pants Maar dra omtrent net jeans werk toe, en die knope het my ERG gedruk as ek sit...

Gaan definitief watch wat ek eet met die een. Met my vorige swangerskap het ek die verskoning gebruik van "eet vir twee" - plus almal weet en is n chocoholic, so almal het sjokelades aangedra. Ek het vir n jaar geborsvoed, en definitief nie veel gewig daarvan verloor nie! Toe raak ek desperaat... die enigste dieet wat vir my werk is no/low carbs - maar toe ek dit probeer volg - toe droog my melk amper op!! Nou ja, klaar dik, en kan nie dieet terwyl ek borsvoed nie - toe vreet ek maar Ek kan mos alles verloor as ek klaar is......

En toe ek uituindelik ophou borsvoed, begin ek twee maande later n nuwe werk - en hulle verskaf "free snacks" - ons het n fully stocked vending machine in die kantoor (wat hulle elke dag volmaak) - VERNIET!! Wie kan dieet in so omgewing

En dit is die lang storie oor hoekom julle nog nie belly pics gaan sien van my nie Nadat dit alles opgehoop het, is ek nou omtrent 20kg bo my eerste pre-preggy gewig

Happyness good luck with your scan today cant wait for your update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi every one.

Shols sorry that work is so hectic

Jeanine, it might be a bit of a weight but then next time you go there will such a wonderful little person in there. So excited for you that the doctor is allowing VBAC!!!! I really hope that you get the birth you want. So excited!!!!

Marely, to wait a little longer for the scan is actually better as the chances of seeing the gender is so much higher. I will only be 11 weeks 6 days at my scan so the chances of seeing the gender is VERY small for me maybe at my NT scan at 13 weeks

Maybe, I am really worried about you please come and update us!!!!!!!!

Izzels, ek is bly jy kon toe vir jou nuwe klere kry!!!! mens voel net so veel beter as jy gemaklik is. Ek stem saam oor die watch wat mens eet in swangerskap. Ek het ook nie regtig teveel geworry wat ek eet in 1ste triemester nie ek was net al te bly dat ek dit kon onder hou maar sodra ek beter voel gaan ek ook meer gesond eet. In die maand sy "my pregnancy" magazine is daar n eet plan vir elke triemester ek het die tydskrif maar nog nie eet plan gelees nie. Mens moet onthou om baie gewig optetel in jou swangersakp is ook nie goed vir die baba nie.

Ek will deffinatief die geslag weet en sal nie kan wag tot geboorte nie!!!!

I will probably do am elective C-Section are there any other ladies considering this option?
Only one more sleep for me and I get to see my little baby I can not wait!!!!!!

hello!!

aaww Jeanine, so glad all went well with your sonar! even with this being your second time around, its still amazing to see the movement of the baby! our last scan was at 9 weeks and literally was just a blob and with 12 weeks it was a fully formed baby kicking waving and opening her mouth! just incredible!! coulnt help but be emotional!

hopeful, ek sou ook nie daarvan gehou het om so voor klomp mense gevra word oor my swangerskap nie, ek verstaan 100% dat jy eers wil wag om hartkloppie te sien! ekt nou nog nie eers dit op facebook gesit nie, maar meeste mense na aan my weet nou. dis maar elkeen se besluit waneer hulle dit wil deel.

ek het uiteindelik gister gaan shop vir klere vir die swaar lyf!! my maag wys verseker nou al, maar dit voel amper asof die baba in my boude groei teen die spoed waarteen my a$$ nou groei!! eerste trimester het ek amper geleef op stysels want dis al waarvoor ek lus was, nou is ek maar op slaaie en eier of oats vir ontbyt! ek moet nou baie versigtig wees! baie mense se "oohh nou het verskoning om net te eet wat jy wil" neee, juis nou dink ek, ek moet remme aandraai en baie versigtig wees! ek sukkel oor die algemeen om gewig te verloor en soos ek by my susters hoor is dit n verskriklike taak om jou lyf terug te kry na die tyd. ook hoor ek by so baie mense die borsvoeding laaat jou gewig verloor is ook net n mite. so ja, gesonde kos vir my en baba van nou af en die gym moet my ook nou begin sien!!

sien soooo uit om die nuus te hoor van die res van julle se sonars, en dalk die geslag nuus ook.. is daariemand hier wat NIE die geslag wil uitvind nie?

my volgende sonar (eerste een by my gynae) is op 16w2dae op 28 Aug!

Morning ladies

So... I made my appointment with a midwife, and since she can see me at 18 weeks, I don't need to go back to gynea (he would have seen me at 16 weeks). So... unless I sneak in a private one to check the gender, my next scan is only at 20 weeks for the fetal assesment!!!!

Ah well... I survived it with my first pregnancy (only had 3 scans in total) guess I can do it again!

Hi Ladies,

My apologies for not replying often - work is hectic.

Congrats to all those who have been for their scans - really happy for you guys.
Im not good at names so please forgive me.

To add to your table - my next scan is on the 21st of this month and im currently 9 weeks and 6 days and according to my calculations im due on the 7th of march but that will change coz im a C-section patient so it will def. be late February.

u ladies have a fab. afternoon

Hehe,

Baba looks like a blob on the photo, but the video you can see everything due to the movement.

Tip, take a memory stick with to your scan - most of the machines can save the pics on there for you. I asked Dr if he would mind if i video it (since DH couldn't make it), and he told me he will save some clips and copy it . Since he knew I wanted a clip to take home, he went out of his way to get a nice video of baba moving.

Happyness next, then Hopeful!! two more scans in two more days!

I need to phone my midwife at some point to get an appointment now - depending on when she wants to see me, I might see the gynae one more time in between.

Gynea is happy to let me try for a VBAC - depending on baby's size with future scans - since it was due to son's size that I had a c-sec the last time. He also wants me monitored closely for gestational diabetics. So regardless of all the urine tests along the way - by 28 weeks I HAVE to do the glucose test

crap - typed this msg about 2 hours ago, and just realised I never submitted it
