Due January 2015

Nadia, I just feel like eating all the time. Was different the previous time, I had quite bad nausea and vomiting with the twins, just wanted fresh fruits and cold food. Now I just want hot cooked food and meat. Totally diff.

I also went home yesterday, had a small procedure in the dr's office. Not very nice, but had to check something out. Was very bloated after that and had some pains in abdomen, they don't usually perform this procedure during pregnancy, so I just went home and rested.

I think we will start making it public after first scan. 3 weeks feel like a eternity, ha-ha.

Hello all

Hope you are all well.

What is with the craving for biltong? I so want to eat some! Doesn't help that hubby and son are constantly eating it around me!

I stayed at home today as I had the worst migraine! Was on meds for it before I fell preggies but obviously had to go off them when I found out! Am suffering as Panado does not help!

It's so hard not to tell people! I just want to share the good news... But trying to keep it in until at least first drs appt! I'm just paranoid I guess.

Hi julle,

MommyMe ek is saam met jou, vreeslik moeg vandag, het gegaap deur al my lesse! Wat eetgewoontes aanbetref, was my naarheid maar erg vir 'n paar weke en kon ek omtrent net vrugte, crackers en die occasional eier broodjie en dalk 'n stukkie vis (salmon) eet. Maar ek raak nou beter so dit normaliseer bietjie, my grootste probleem is dat ek net eenvoudig te moeg is om te kook en dan kom die versoeking vir fast food. Ek forseer maar myself om vanaand iets meer ordentelik te maak al is ek hoe moeg! anders nibble ek net popcorn en gedroogte vrugte tussen deur. My ander swakpunt is dat ek nie my earl grey tee heeltemal kan uitsny nie. Ek weet dit het kaffeine in, en sommige dae drink ek eerder rooibos, maar swart tee help vir die naar en gee my net bietjie 'n hupstoot. Een koppie elke nou en dan sal seker nie doodmaak nie, maar nou ja. Ek sukkel ook maar met die water, het anyway vir die naar maar meesdal ginger ale gedrink of energade. Het ook bietjie droewors gehad, maar het toe besef dis seker nie heeltemal die mees veilige ding om te eet nie, maar het twee stokkies gehad want dit was regtig wat ek gecrave het!

Sjoe dames ek is vas aan die slaap. wil rerig nou net huistoe gaan.

Hoe is julle eetgewoontes? Eet julle alles volgens die boek of gaan julle net normaal aan? Biltong? Droewors etc?

Ek sukkel oor die algemeen om baie water te drinl,so ek probeer maar.

Glad you are feeling better MommyMe! I also feel a bit better, but don't really have an appetite. No bloat and no sore boobs and no tiredness yet (just the normal my-15-month-old-woke-up-4-times tiredness ). I should probably have the bloodtest done soon and book an appointment with gynae...

Haven't told anyone yet - last time I didn't tell anyone until 14 weeks. I need some time to get used to the idea myself first, i think...

Morning Ladies

Wish I could still be in bed snoozing away.

Doing the happy dance today, my very bad "bloatedness" is gone. Feel pretty normal now. Still have a little headache but hope today is going to be a better day at work. I'm actually looking for something else, so everyone is kind off irritating me.

We also just shared with close friends and family, will share after second scan.

This week must really fly by. want to get to 6 weeks!!

Lekker dag dames

Thanks everybody!

good to be here. I hope everyone's symptoms are getting a bit better, it sucks being so tired all the time!

Panorama is nice, now its just for sorting out all the medical aid details, I have no idea what they'll cover and what they won't cover yet. Joy.

Talking about sharing, I know its probably allright after you've seen a scan and heartbeat and so on, and DH and I have only told family and a couple of friends, but I am so paranoid! We're waiting untill after 13weeks to go public, as hard as that is but I don't really know what normal protocol is as a first timer!
