Due June 2014

why is everyone so quite lately?

We will have a lovely afternoon. i did have strange dreams but now they are all gone. The other time i dreamt about me being in labor for more than 4 days, now i only dream about the baby gender and its different every time. i think its part of pregnancy its nothing to worry about. i have a lil bum, my husband seem to like it more than me.

How often do you guys apply tissue oil/stretch mark cream , i do it twice but i am not sure if i am moisturizing my skin enough. I am hope i wont get the stretch marks, i had them b4 pregnancy, i cant afford to have more

You are most welcome Ndinawe, glad you are returning to the food world

I have to say I have been driving myself nuts, I'm soooooo MOOOOODY because of nothing and everything. Not sleeping much at night because of horrible disturbing dreams I actually dreamed that I went into labor like 20 weeks early (baby was 100% fine - somehow the due date was very wrong and I carried small - even thou she was 4 kg's at birth ) to make the situation worse - we didn't have anything ready, not even nappies. Is this a sign or is it just my mind playing tricks on me? Have any of you ladies been having strange dreams?

At least jellybeans' daddy and myself are going on a short holiday at the end of the month - need to get some peace and quiet.

Still to early for me to show - can't wait for the baby bump thou

Have a lovely afternoon ladies!

Thank you so much Teribeary, I will try the smoothies i am sure i will like them since they r sweet. And yesterday i cooked mutton and to my surprise i actually liked it and i felt good after eating it. I think this is my return to the food world

At my gym there is a preggi bellies private class, i am going to join it, i have a friend(she is a Dr) she advised me to join it after 20 weeks as it is too pricey, so will join the class when i am 20 weeks.

How are you ladies looking, I am 11 weeks and i am already showing, my pants are starting to be uncomfortable in mt waistline. I think i showed too early but i like my new look so far

I also had very little of an appetite to start of with, maybe try to supplement your main meals with a healthy nutritious shake/smoothie - fresh homemade ones with various fruits and yogurt are the best this way you at least get all the nutrients you need to get the grains you need try nibbling on provita's, they're a light snack.

If the exercise you are currently doing is a bore you must have a look at www.preggibellies.co.za/ - it seems like a fun interactive aerobics kind of workout class. Not sure about the charges thou :)

Hope this helps

I was a long distance runner/athlete , when i was 5 weeks i ran 15km, i only found out then and the Dr said i should take it easy. I tried walking but i am bored when i walk, i don't feel like i did anything.
Guys I am not eating and its worrying me, i seem not to love anything as long as its food, I mainly eat apples and oranges through out the day, I do not feel hungry at all. do you guys have any advice for me.

Hi Ndinawe,

Thank you for the welcome You must be wishing this week by just like I am. I can't wait to hear the Gynae officially confirm that there's a lil jellybean in my tummy even though the blood and urine test were positive

It's great that you still exercise, I do a daily prenatal 25min yoga routine and in the afternoon when baby's daddy gets home we go for a 45min walk - which is great cardio and quality time at the same time I have read about a lot of ladies being extremely active during pregnancy and I guess it differs for each of us."They" say if you can still have a normal conversation while working out you are not over doing yourself

It feels great being able to speak about my pregnancy as we are only announcing it to our family and loved ones this coming weekend

Keep well and get lots of rest!

Hugs xx
