Wina, i share in your exitement
it is just so thrilling to finally feeling my baba move

Goggatjies big hug to you
I think you need some quiet me-time to just relax and find yourself again. these pregnancy hormones just highlights all the worries if you ask me.
unfortunately i can't give any advise regarding depression.
I really hope that you can find some quiet time soon

Hi everyone....

I'm getting more and more excited as time goes by too. Cannot wait to have this baby. I'm also so tired but got cheered up by everyone on whatsapp now. Teasing me about pre-authorising hospital stay. Thanks guys.

@Jay hope the tiredness gets better, did you take some time off like you said?

@Stellak I'm sure its not your imagination. It must be baby moving. I'm even feeling Braxton Hicks contractions already. I can see that is going to be very annoying when it gets stronger.

@Goggatjies... so sorry you are feeling down. I can't say if its depression or just hormones going into overdrive. I cried at work on Monday because I was vomiting so much and that was definitely hormones. Maybe you can try to do something that usually makes you happy. Some alone time or shopping etc. All I know is you definitely deserve some ME time and don't feel guilty about taking it. And worries about finances and things are normal but you have survived thus far and you can only get stronger. That is how I live my life. When my first child was born I earned a salary of R2500.00 and got no maintenance from her father. She is a brilliant beautiful 12 year old child today. We didn't have money but I loved her and it shows.
I really hope you find something that reminds you of the strong woman you are.

Hope everyone else is having a good day.

Hi,

So i need some advise.
I have been down the past 2 weeks or so, no energy to do anything, Sleeping more than usual, not in the mood to play with my kids, not even in to mood to chat with hubby. If I can plonk myself infront of the tv the whole day, then I will do that as well.
Not in the mood to work (has been quite), but I really do like my job (have been here for nearly 8 years).
Eating I am fine with eating healthy, but I get days that I can just eat junk, and not stop eating.
My kids are driving me up the walls, and I just fight with them all the time, because in my eyes they are doing everything wrong.
DH has been working late the past few weeks, so he has not been helping out as much as he used to.
I am worried about money, and how we are going to afford a third child, and renting and all the fun stuff that goes on with renting your own place.

Does it sounds like I am depressed, or do yiou guys think I just need some time alone, just to do what I want.

I do not know what is going on with me. Not really excited at the moment, because I am really stressed about all of this

good morning ladies,

Jay, sorry for the fatigue. have you tried Vita Thion? it worked for me.

Thanks Hasie, unfortinately i am based in Cape town.

Ladies you have been very quite lately

Well for me fatigue is still hitting me, i am taking my prenatal vitamins, i try to sleep 8 hours and more some days. But i am still tired. maybe i lack iron. Besides that my baby is kicking up a storm. I am so looking forward to having this baby i wish time can just fly quick. Have a great day

Hi there!

Sorry ladies, I don't really have a lot of time to reply on everything today. Hope you are all well!!

Jay, you can go to dr Yutar in Morningside for pregnancy related acupuncture. He is excellent! www.dryutar.com/ also try reflexology!

Hi everyone

Is there anyone that can help me out with rememdies for vomiting/nausea? I've been sick whole weekend and today again I can keep nothing down.

I've tried natural remedies (ginger) tablets (can't remember the tables's name now again) and emex syrup. Nothing at all helped. A collegue had Tissue Salts with her (Digestion Combin) which I took now. Crossing my fingers it helps. I've taken it before and it didn't help then.

I'm at my wits end already.... Vomiting like this at 19 weeks just sucks big time
