Babies April 2015

Morning ladies

how are you doing?
Starreyed@ how are you holding up?
Gloie@ how are you?
Ronelle@ thanks for reminding me, I forgot about the Chiro, we have one that specialises in pregnant women so i will make an appointment with her.
How are the rest of the ladies doing?
My fatigue is getting worse by the day. And my nesting is getting bad too , i cant seem to let minor stuff or dirt go.
Are any of you ladies going to do freezer meals for the family to lessen cooking stress when baby arrives? Am trying to get ideas and I am failing.

Hi ladies

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm taking a bit of strain over weekends these days as the renovations and fixing what the "fixers"broke take up a lot of time and effort.

@ Gloei - yes I am still working, plan on working to the 38 week mark at least. Our company offers minimum maternity benefits (i.e. any maternity leave = unpaid leave) so I need to minimise the time off work. I will substitute with some normal leave that I have built up PLUS my adorable hubby have taken a month's leave too (he plans on staying home with LO for a full month on his own once I come back to work!) I think that is great, good opportunity for bonding and gives him a chance to build up confidence in handling baby on his own.

@Starryeyed - I really feel sorry for you. Can't imagine what you must feel like. I think remaining calm and just taking one day at a time will be best. Time flies anyway, before you know if baby will be here and life will take an upswing of note!

@Nels - I posted last week but suspect that my phone also deletes my posts I can suggest going to a chiro, not sure if you have one in your area, but I have similar issues with hip, lower back and shoulders and the chiro seems to sort it. All safe when pregnant too...

StarryEyed!! Oh, no! I am really sorry! I can only imagine how you must feel. I agree, this is not how anyone imagines their pregnancy! My heart really goes out to you. How are things looking today? Could they manage to replenish the amniotic fluid, how is baby doing? What does the doctor say?

You are going to be me in my thoughts. xx

Starreyed@ I am so sorry to hear that. I will be praying for you and baby. I cant imagine how you are feeling. I can understand why you would be so angry, no one wants a complicated pregnancy. You are in good hands and trusting in God that all will be fine. Please try calm down as stress is not good for you right now. Please keep us updated. And try relax.

Hey Ladies

I am unfortunately having a bad day... I went for my weekly checkup... Just like I have been doing since I was in hospital.... And I ended up being admitted. My amniotic fluid is very low So I am typing while in my hospital bed. Had my top up steroid shot... It was ouchie! Th doc is monitoring me closely to check the baby is not in distress. We waiting for test results and he will monitor the fluid levels to see if I can heal up the rupture and replace the fluid. So we will only see in a couple of days. I am so full of different emotions right now! I cannot even express it! Mostly I am angry... My first pregnancy and I have had endless problems!! Makes me so mad and sad and annoyed!

Yeyi, my Gems maternity bag is on the way. Cant wait to see it and whats inside especially since it seems there is more items then last time incl a thermometer. And some stuff that I needed but didnt buy because I was waiting for the bag. Super excited

How are you ladies doing? Starreyed@ how are you holding up?
I bought my feeding vests at the consignment store practicaly new for R50 so didnt spend much, normal vests work fine too Gloie I have some woolies ones bought at Asmals(dont know if Asmals is available out of durban) for R20+. So thats where I pinched costs, even some of my yoga pants are from there for like R50 and when edgars active had a massive sale dh bought me some. Im frugal so I penny pinch where I can.
This weather is killing me, yesterday it was like 40 degrees today its like 17:/. I hear flu coming for a visit.
Gloie@ i understand your frustration with your family, you really need them during birth, praying all works out.
