Due January 2015

Hi ladies

typed a whole post yesterday and lost it when posted from my phone. Took to long they said.lol.

So just quick update. Doc app yesterday was good. Baba is weighing 2.3kg and everything looks good for normal still.

Karmie also started getting that pain.maybe all the pressure pushing down now? Quite uncomfortable. Glad im not the only one.

Joans glo als het goedgegaan. Xx

Sjoe, ek het baie opwinding gemis!

Joans, ek neem aan jou kosbare seuntjie is al hier! Vat dit vir eers rustig, en herstel. Ons sal geduldig wag vir die fototjie

Robsyc, I agree with what some of the other moms have said. Your gynea needs to take you seriously. I suggest you make an appointment with her, or go in to the hospital if you feel it is getting too much for you. Rather safe than sorry, trust your instincts. Don't let your gynea's no-care attitude make you doubt your concerns and instincts.

Nadia, glad so see blood pressure still okay and baby doing well. I also need to get some cool PJs, the maternity wards are typically quite warm for the babies, so cool PJs a must have.

Mommyme, jammer om te hoor bloeding terug, maar dis baie gaaf van jou werk om jou af te gee. Geniet die rustydjie!

APotgieter, ek hoop seuntjie klou vas tot Jan! Sterkte vir laaste stretch!

AFM, alles nog okay, ek het weer gewig verloor wat weird is, maar baba tel darem op. Dalk is dit net hitte en ongemak wat veroorsaak dat aptyt minder is. Dokter nie bekommerd nie.

I have a question, when I sit too long and get up, or when I turn around in bed, sometimes I get a weird pain in my vaginal area (sorry for tmi! ). It feels like a pulling sensation or like it is bruised or something. Or like I sat on a bicycle/horse for way too long. It is the only way I can explain it, sorry! Everyone else experience this?

Hi hi everyone how are you guys

On my side actually quite had a bit of high blood pressure last week but it has seemed to stabled again

Joans - Baie geluk jy kan seker nie wag nie - hier waar ons nou trek in swangerskap is ons almal MOEG gedra en wil nou ons baba's ontmoet - Stiaan klou darem nog die gynie het laas week gese sy weet nie vir hoe lank meer nie was Donderdag daar op 35 weke toe weeg hy 2.9kg en is al 2 derdes gesak so sy se ek moet dit baie kalm vat sy se as ek enige druk op my pelvis vloer sit is dit verby. so nou chill ons maar ek is nog by die werk hou vrydag op.

My Keiser is nog steeds geboek vir die 02de January so ek hoop maar ons kan hou tot dan dit gaan soveel probleme oplos in die toekoms ek hoor van so baie kinders wat sukel omdat hulle agter die ander kinders is en ek wil hom nie regtig terug hou in die skool nie. So ek hoop maar ons kan knyp ek gaan weer volgende week na haar toe op 37 weke om te kyk of als nog reg is.

Ek weet as ek nou op kersnag 12 uur moet hospitaal toe jaag is daar nou niks wat ons daar aan kan doen nie my vriendin se dis wat gaan gebeur sy maak my seuniwees mal - Lekker daggie vir julle

Joans sterkte vir more oggend - Nie meer lank nie dan is Nic in jou arms

Good afternoon everyone!

Taking it very easy after an uneventful night, even had breakfast with hubby in Canal Walk and had his hair cut (to look pretty for all the photos ). Contractions still going regularly but still quite painless so it looks like I'll make it to tomorrow morning. C-section is scheduled at 7:15 so I have to be there by 5, bright and early! So excited and trying to just arrange a couple of last little things beforehand, but glad Nic is sticking it out at least for now. Everything is changing so quickly now for hubby and I, with the baby coming, the move to Somerset, holidays (hubby was only supposed to get off on Friday but looks like my early labor has extended that, so nice!) and family also visiting soon. So we're in for quite a ride, can't wait

Hope everyone is having a great day, will keep updating and hope to also see your updates soon!

Karmie, somehow I missed your post! Baby is a lovely weight hey! Glad to hear you are healthy and doing well despite the heartburn...

Hello all

Joans, all the best for your csec on Thursday! Glad your doc has been monitoring you so closely. My blood pressure has been in the same range at my last 2 visits but my doc is not too concerned yet as that is normal range for me (I was hypertensive before pregnancy). Wishing you a good delivery and a quick recovery. Hopefully you can come update when you have a minute!

Robsyc, your gynae sounds terrible! I'm sorry you are having to deal with this especially since you have other health issues. Honestly, I would raise it with her at ur next appt and tell her how you feel. Sometimes you just need to put it out there.

MommyMe, sorry to hear bleeding Is back really good of your boss to let you off early though. The resting can only help. Hope it clears ASAP. Good luck with the final nursery prep!

Blessed1, yay for maternity leave! Rest up and all the best for your birth pls keep us updated!

Natsvan, how are things ur side? How is baby doing? Are you all ready and packed?

AFM, all ok. Blood pressure borderline and some protein in urine but doc not too concerned yet. Going back to check water next week as it was low at my visit yesterday. Doc estimates current weight at 2.7 so growing nicely. Really trying to hold out for January so hoping we can make it to 38 weeks. Thanks for the pj tips! will have a look this weekend.
Had a bit of pain this afternoon and went in for ctg but all good. Movement good. Just showed some Braxton hicks. Nurse said they think pain caused by pressure on sciatic nerve.

All the best for the last few weeks ladieS! Can't wait to start seeing pics of the littlies.

Hi all,
thanks for the kind words! Contractions are pretty regular, but still not painful at all so that's good! also had the injection to jump start Nic's lungs just in case, so now I'm relaxing at home, hubby is bouncing off the walls with excitement

Robyn I'm sorry to hear your doc was so unhelpful, especially since everything you've been through with this pregnancy already not cool! I also have the nausea and back pain and loads of braxton hicks. It just feels like your doc should want to check out what's happening, like I've been in to see my doc literally 3 times the past week because she was concerned, so maybe you should insist on getting an appointment? It's so difficult to deal with the curveballs on top of all the physical and emotional challenges at this stage in pregnancy! And it just feels like sometimes the doctors should know this, and be a bit more understanding.

MommyMe ongelukkig is natuurlik gladnie 'n opsie nie, want baba "drop" nie, sy kop is te groot vir my pelvis en my bloeddruk is 140/90, so al doen my lyf sy ding is dit te gevaarlik maar ja, ek het 'n massive voorgevoel gehad dat ek gaan moet keiser so ek voel vreeslik rustig daaroor. Jammer om te hoor dat die lastige bloeding alweer terug is, laat ons weet wat die dokter se! En dis goed dat jy tyd afvat, dis nie dit werd om so voort te stoom en dalk jouself/baba skade te doen nie, al weet ek dit was vir my ook maar vreeslik moeilik om af te skaal vir lank!

To the other ladies, come update! So exciting to know that soon we'll all have our little ones in our arms
