Oct/Nov 2014 Mommies

Me too actually. I hope I can give natural birth even though it reeeeally scares me lol.

We just need to be strong and stick to our decisions, unless it's medically necessary to change the plan

I really just want to give natural birth. I have told my Gynae this, and he said he doesn't think it will be a problem, so I'm holding thumbs.

He is new at Panorama Mediclinic, and so i haven't been able to find out whether or not he is actually pro-natural birth and what his track record is

I am just hoping for the best! I have nothing against C-sections. I just personally would love to do natural

Hi ladies!

We were at the baba indaba too lol! And felt the exact same. Not much to fuss about. A friends mom got me a bath pillow there though which looks quite cool, it's to help support the new born.

@mellymoo121 I too am opting for natural at the moment but we'll see what happens. I'm with Dr Gaertner. I still have to do the tour. Next appointment is fri so I'm excited to see my little boy again

@sugar and spice, it's adorable! Too cute!

Do any of you ladies have really strong views regarding the different birthing options?

Hi Mellymoo121

We also went to the Baby Indaba on Saturday. I was disappointed. Expected more out of it. I'm thinking of trying the Mama Magic Expo in November, if I'm still up to it by then. Didn't buy much, just nappies, wipes and Bennets stuff.

We bought a Liverpool Crawler as well, which I thought was cute!

@suga+spice Thanks Hun, and yes a baby would be the best anniversary present. I have told my partner the 1st thing I want after birth isa large platter is sushi and oysters!

@amyreally How exciting! Yay! I'm seeing dr meiring, who u got? We gonna try for natural birth with the option of an epi. We did the tour already and it's nice, hospital feels like a hotel.

Anyone else go to the baby expo this weekend, we were so excited but was sorely disappointed, experienced my 1st back pains, great timing but also just found it was too busy and not enough stuff but then a friend went and loved it. We just gonna go buy our stuff at baby city now .

Have a good week ladies xx

@sugar and spice we are also driving a polo, boot space seems fine!
and awww baby will be the best anni present
