Due June 2014

Hi Teribeary

Me and my Banana are doing very well and we are growing at a very slow pace but we are slowly getting there. We have decided on the name a long time ago. it is the combination of my name and my hubbys name,

Our names: Ndinae+Awelani =NdinAwe=Ndinawe, we are happy to share the name as its all over and we believe its unique

Have a lovely week ladies

Hi Ladies,

I hope you are all doing well

Myself and Jellybean have been good. Felt the first stronger kicks today, just waiting for the little man to wakeup and move some more so Daddy can feel it too

I'm getting more and more excited about our little boy's arrival and comfortable with the thaught of giving birth. Been reading a lot lately and watched "the business of being born" - quite an eye opener.

How are you ladies keeping? Have u picked out names yet and are you sharing? We're keeping our names a secret until our little Jellybean is here

Have a lovely week everyone xxx

Hi Ladies

Hope you are all doing well through the heat

We went to the doctor yesterday and both mum and baby are doing great. We saw Rissie Pit's heart and stomach and bladder and even the 2 little kidneys
My heart was overflowing and to top it all off the doctor announced that we will be having a little Girl

Both me and DH are over the moon!

@ndinawe I am totally jealous. I have been feeling baby kick but nothing hard enough for daddy to feel as well


@Teribeary
I didn’t go for ante natal classes for my first one and I was very disappointed afterwards
Why don’t you ask your doc to recommend somewhere you can go and then maybe just attend and pay for one class. There you can speak to the facilitator and find out exactly which topics will be covered. Then you and DH can make an informed decision
@Kathleen
Congratulations on your pregnancy and welcome. I think you joined at the perfect time.. Never too late or too early

Hi Ndinawe,

I know exactly what you mean! Everyone has something to say and seems to know everything about pregnancy and babies... I'm not saying I don't appreciate some of the advise, but seriously??

I'm looking into the antenatal classes, considering that our medical aid will likely not pay for it, I don't know whether it will be worth spending the money, I'd much rather save it for our little one even thou I'd love for daddy to be to attend the daddy classes some of them offer as I know he feels pretty clueless with regards to holding baby etc as this one is obviously our first...

Anyhow, at least there's quite some time left to do proper research.

I'm so glad you felt your first kicks! I'm waiting patiently for Jellybean to show us how strong he is Daddy has never felt a kick in a pregnant belly so he is definitely looking forward to it and I can't wait to share that with him

Hope you are all having a lovely week so far

Chat soon xx

Morning Ladies

Today i am 21 weeks 1 day, at around 1:20 this morning i felt like my hubby poked me n i woke up, I discovered that it was my little Banana kicking, the kicks were so strong that even my hubby finally felt the fist baby kicks, it was quite exciting except that the baby kept on kicking until about 3 am. I only slept then, but none the less it was a priceless moment.

Any kicks ladies?

Hi Teribeary

I am trying by all means to not think too much, but everyone at work seems to be an expert on my pregnancy, It drives me mad

I will go for antenatal classes but i have not started looking yet. I am only going to attend them cause my medical aid pays for me and my hubby, i am not sure how informative are they but since it is our first baby we will use all the information we can get. We are planning on joining the class at least when i am 7 months.

Have a great week ladies

Hi Ndinawe

We've had quite the heatwave in Gauteng last week, but it should get better from this week on, thank goodness.

We June mommies are very lucky to have our last heavy pregnant days in the winter time, it's easier to sleep all cuddled up and it's much more comfortable dressing warm than trying to cool down, especially with the extra high body temperature I'm also looking forward to spending most of the winter indoors with our little Jellybean.

I'm also getting quite nervous, but there's still a lot of time left to enjoy the pregnancy and get ready for all the changes before baby comes. Try to not over think it to much, it's in our instincts to be mommies

Have any of you ladies started looking at antenatal classes? Do you think it's really that necessary?

Hope everyone has a great week

xx
