Congratulations robsyc, and welcome to the forum!

Lots of Cape Town mommies here, I am one also.

Thrilled for you that your bean is healthy and growing! Cute scan pic of the little man

Hi everyone!

I am new to this forum and just wanted to say hi and chat to other expecting mommies
Firstly, CONGRATS everyone!! Such exciting times!

We suffered 2 miscarriages previously and this little bean is staying! We are 14 weeks and 5 days pregnant and just SO excited! We found out at our last scan that we are having a little boy. I have been hesitant to get excited because of all the heartache I have been through, but little one is healthy and active and I am so incredibly happy! Just shows that there is always hope hey
Anyone else in Cape Town? Have attached a pic of our little one at his 13 week scan

here is my scan pics of my 12 week scan

Good morning ladies

Reading your posts its not just me confused about everything Names birth plans - "to buy or not to buy" hahaha the joys of being pregnant. being confused seems to rub off on the rest of the family.

I got a book from a friend yesterday explaining the coming of a new baba to my son - he is under the impression that the baby is coming out an instant friend have any of you explained the new baby to you other children?

O the pram its also a chelino its still sealed in the box so you cant see much.

I will be going to the gynie for the next scan on the 11th of August and then 5 weeks after that - sjoe man you won't believe how expensive these scans have become it was much cheaper 5 years ago

Today is 15 weeks for me and I cant wait to feel baby move I only felt my first baby at 20 weeks so hopefully its much earlier this time

Jones its very nice to have a big boy my son was also big I don't know If I will be able to handle a tiny little baby he was 3.8 kg at birth 54cm so he was also huge he was born 17 days before the due date due to his size so maybe you will also get some time off - you have beautiful scan pics love the foot one

Have a lovely day ladies and nuggets

Hello everyone

Hope you all had a good day!

Karmie, welcome to the thread and congrats on baby number 2!

Joans, lovely pics and great that baby is doing so well

MommyMe, do you have a feeling as to what gender your baby is? I felt boy from the start!

Natsvan, enjoy your days off! Good luck with finding a name!

Re. Pram and crib etc, I lent my pram and car seat combo to hubby's niece so need to get it back and still have my campcot from first baby but so tempted to buy new stuff! I have a really bad shopping problem saw a beautiful pram the other day, think it was bebe confort and it was divine! That being said there was nothing wrong with my old one since my first son used it so minimally! The only thing he really used was the car seat.

I've bought 3 outfits since I've found out its a boy (shopping addict!!!) - I should control myself but I can't!

Hope you all have a lovely evening!

Hello everyone!

hope you have been doing well.

I just got back from my 16 week scan. The passenger is doing well, gynae confirmed it's most definitely a boy and he's doing extremely well! He's already showing that he's going to be a tall one like his daddy (DH is over 2m tall, my family are also giants, so no surprises there) so he's about two weeks ahead in terms of length, and one week ahead with most of the other stuff. Such a little overacheiver! Here are some pics as well.








Alicia what pram did you get? Father-in-law has told DH that we should choose a pram, he wants to give that to us. I saw one I liked at babies are us, a chelino that looked quite sturdy but was easy to operate. And cup holders, I like that. Might be getting that soon! Will post pics.

Karmie welcome to the thread! I also had surprise pregnancy, found out I was preggo right after the honeymoon. Initial shock, but now everyone's really getting very excited. We're lucky tho, apparently summer babies have it much better than winter babies in terms of sleep and such, as they're not so cold all the time. Regarding pregnancy symptoms I am past the worst, no more nausea and less fatigue. Occasional headaches tho. Oh and if I touch anything white and processed (white bread, pizza etc) I get quite constipated. But totally normal when I eat right. I am defs already showing tho, but probably to be expected as I'm almost 16 weeks along now.

Natsvan we're also debating about the name. It's a slightly tricky one as we aren't too fond of my father-in-law's name, so that really complicates things. We're also not going to our normal gynae for the 20 weeks scan, as thats with the maternal fetal specialist again, to just make sure everything is looking 100% good to go. I'm also hooked on the pregnancy reality shows! Still in two minds about a birth plan tho. Not sure about my options, as I am really small around the hips, like my granny, who had some massive issues with natural childbirth, so I'm just gonna trust my doc on this one.

How's everyone else doing? Hope the babes are growing well!
