Sept/Oct 2014

jinxedsa Yay for 12wks!

Giggles your appointment date is almost here, so excited for you!

AFM: All seems well, no m/s, my sense of smell is heightened and I'm wearing skirts and leggings as my jeans/pants are just too tight. I've read that at 8 weeks my tums is the size of an orange which explains why

Hi Ladies

I'm a bit behind sorry was a bit busy over the weekend.

My Intro:
This is my 3rd pregnancy and hoping this one will stick seeing as I lost the previous 2. But I am very hopeful I just past the 12week mark on Saterday and all still seems to be fine.
My m/s just don't want to let go hoping it will soon.

I also struggled to find maternity stuff finally went to the chinese mall and got a few things there.
My EDD is around the 19th September.

Hope everyone has a awesome day.

Hi Ladies

Momzee I am just behind you with my EDD 15 September. I am so worried, my doctor will only send me for a special scan at 18 weeks, and no bloods for downs yet. Maybe my next scan at 14 weeks.

Candi, I used Emex for the nausea and vomiting and it was useless. Asic seemed to help much more. If asic does not work, maybe try Emex (although it has a horrible sweet taste). My doctor also prescribed me vitamine B6 tablets called pyridoxine (over the counter meds). She says it seems to help for some patients, it helped for me, maybe you can try that as well. Good luck with it.

Happy Friday All....

Gosh, Last night, was the worst night EVER! Throwing up like there was no stopping at 1am, Im sure I woke my neighbour up cause I really did alert the dogs across the road, they were barking.

Anyone else finding Asic makes things worse?
And panados just a waste of money.

And the dreams ~ THEY ARE SOOOOO REAL!!!!! The nightmares are the worst! But most of mine are of me having super powers. I wake up very depro LOL

Hi there ladies!

Already sort of had my intro earlier...

I am 28, hubby is 35. I am pregnant with my first baby and I am 13 weeks along and will be 14 next Tuesday. EDD is 9 September.

Went for all the blood work and the Down's scan on Wednesday and everything is perfect! Doc is extremely happy and the Down's is low risk (1:20000). Baby was very still, supposedly sleeping and sucking his/her thumb while doc did the scan. Doc actually had to poke him/her to move around a bit! HR is at 153 bpm.

Already started shopping for all the cute things and all the necessary things... Freaken expensive...

Our baby will join our other kids - 2 dogs (Alsation and Jack Russel) and 2 cats (both were 'fixed' yesterday). Oh! And my tropical fish at home and in my classroom.

I have picked up just one kilogram thus far, but I am overweight to start off with... But do not let that fool you... I need to go clothes shopping this weekend because my tummy has already expanded quite a bit! Pants fit, tops... not so much!

That's it! I think...

Have wonderful day everyone!

Hi All,

My intro:
This is my first pregnancy and as kayla says I'm also very grateful for the support in this forum. I was on the TTC forum for about 7 months and anxiously waiting to move over to the pregnancy forum on moomie. I took two HPT and a blood test and they were positive. So far I've had no severe m/s, just a bit of nausea now and then. I'm confused sometimes with what I'm physically feeling down there as "fullness" is the only word that seems to fit...speaking of....I have my "fat" skirt on today and it's choking me! I'm very scared of picking up too much weight as I am already obese (BMI over 30) and have been seeing a dietitian for about a month now and lost some kg's. I'm with Dr Dalla at Cape Gate MC, I've only been to her once before and she was fine, will see if my feelings change with being pregnant....PREGNANT!!! Still can't believe that I am blessed to utter those words. My first appointment is on 28th March, 22 days to go! EDD around 18th October, maybe this will also change after my Dr's visit.

Chat soon ladies - Happy pregnancies all around.

Good Morning ladies

Thanks for the intro Giggles and Candi.

Here is mine:
This is my first pregnancy, so very scared about the unknown, but I am so grateful for you ladies that have been through this to help me. I have been on different kinds of contraceptives and they all made me so sick, so hubby and I just used the barrier and calendar method and it worked well for us with no oopsies. I fell pregnant in November but had what they call a chemical pregnancy, but doctor says it is just a very, very early miscarriage. And the very next cycle after that came this sticky bean that is still sticking. I could not believe it and I went for about 5 blood tests and 20 hpt to make sure this one is still there. Pathetic I know.

I am now about 12 weeks pregnant according to my LMP. I have seen a gynea at 8 weeks and while she was busy consulting I knew she was not for me. So I went to another doctor at 11 weeks and she is such a darling. Feeling relieved that I found someone I feel comfortable with. I have not chosen a hospital yet.

Seeing the doctor on the 22nd of March again. She is the only gynea I know that consults on saturdays. Another plus for me.

Good luck for the rest of the week.
