Due January 2015

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe how many posts were on this group after missing a few days, January mamas have lots to say!!!

I am craving sweets lately! The gentleman in my office just sits and laugs at me with my daily cravings. Won't be surprised if this baba is a girl because all I wanted with my son was avos.

Any suggestions on ok priced maternity work pants? Gonna need some by the end of the month.

My mom got me a dvd about the journey in the womb, it is stunning, starts from conception right up to birth, just getting excited about every small thing now!

How is everyone's little beans doing?

Nadia yes I can't wait for second trimester! Wouldn't say I'm completely normal yet, still really weepy over everything! I cry because I just feel like it. Odd! But this too, shall pass.

MommyMe ai dis moeilik om so geduldig te wees! Ek gaan vir my 12weke scan die 17de so ek voel saam met jou ongeduldig. Nou maar net die lang dae aftel!

Thanks for your input ladies. I'm just taking it day by day and trying not to worry.

Nadia I am only going on 17th. my gynae is so full until end of July already. hectic,so couldn't even get a 7 week appointment.

Almost there...

Morning All

Hi Teba, as the others have said, I wouldn't stress to much. Doc would have said if there was anything to be concerned about at this stage.

MommyMe, when is your scan? I also have 'normal' days. Am so grateful because those days enable me to get some studying done!

Joans, that happy second trimester is around the corner for you! I loved my second trimester of pregnancy the first time around. Such a special time.

My next scan is at 11 weeks. At home today studying because I'm writing tomorrow! Let me go and try and finish this up!

Good morning everyone!

teba, don't worry too much about the HCG, I had extremely high counts (95000 at 6 and a half weeks) but that isn't really relevant to anything, as its still your body producing the hormone (so as long as its not too low its all good). You just don't want it to be too high after about 10 weeks, as thats when your baby takes over the production of that hormone, and high HCG from baby paired with low PAPPA hormone counts have been linked to downs. But its not something to worry about really, lots of moms start off with very high counts, its what happens later that counts, and if you do your bloods at 10 weeks and they tell you its normal you know its all good (I did mine earlier this week). As you can see I've researched this quite a bit, as a paranoid first time mommy! also as far as I can see fibroids cause a bit of discomfort to you but doesn't pose much danger to your babe, so don't let it get to you.

MommyMe wees maar bly as jy goed voel! Ekt ook dae gehad wat ek vreeslik bekommerd was oor ek normaal voel, en dan skop ek myself die volgende dag as ek weer goor voel dat ek nie my lekker dag geniet het nie! So geniet dit net, dis maar moeilik om te ontspan in die eerste trimester maar mens moet probeer dit geniet! Maar dinge begin verseker nou beter raak aan my kant, ek is vandag op die 10week merk so ek weet darem dinge is veronderstel om nou beter te raak so ek is rustig

How is everyone else doing/feeling?

Morning ladies

Teba what do you need to do now? Did you have a count of 9000 at about 4 weeks? that high? When are you going for the next scan?

I also feel a bit weird,just paranoid I suppose. I feel quite good. Not getting that neauseas feeling so much and boobies also not so painfull and itching anymore

Suppose just need to relax and take it day by day until the scan.

Joans hoev jy? voel jy redelik normaal? want ek doen en nou is ek heeltyd bekommerd, maar dalk moet ek bly wees.

Nadia, Alicia, how are you feeling?
