Babies April 2015

shame ladies...hope u fight it off! Keep rested!

I have been eating so well up un til now...suddenly the cravings for biscuits and sweeties is going mad. i just want custard and chocolate and ice cream and shortbread biscuits not great since summer is coming and its already hard to dress and feel pretty with a belly...now lets add some cookie podge and things might get tough. lol

I have missed some of the earlier chats..but i had a question about cloth nappies...who uses them on this forum?....
How easy and affordable is it really? with the extra liners and the soap and the bum cream and all that goes with using them? Also...any advice as to which ones are the nicest and best priced?

Morning ladies!

Nelsn, I haven't done my pilates for a week and a half now and just finished a 20 min session and I am feeling quite dizzy and faint! I am surprised how fast my tummy muscles seem to go limp and not very co-operative with the exercises. I so desperately want to be fit for the delivery!

Hope you manage to fight off the flu...I have felt a couple of times that it seemed as if I am getting sick and so far I managed to bounce back, keeping my fingers crossed for you too!

Don't get me started on the sugar cravings!! It is out of control. I have cleared out the pantry of a lot sweets and only kept a small stash. I want to bake a low GI almond and apple cake this weekend with xylitol, having something "slightly more healthy" in the house might be best when the cravings hit!

Have a lovely weekend ladies. xx

Morning ladies

how are you doing today?
it seems I am getting the flu, my throat is sore. I am attending my sons nativity this morning and I'm excited, I love seeing them doing plays.
my sweet tooth seems to be getting worse. I'm trying to eat as much fruits as possible but the chocolate craving is bad , even freshly baked doughnuts are hard to resist

Hi Ladies!

Faffymum and Nelsn: I TOTALLY share your frustrations with the medical aids - it is so difficult to get them to give you an indication what they will pay and what not, which makes budgeting difficult. I still have to get together to make another call to discovery since the first call of 30 minutes were fruitless.

Faffymum: Glad to hear that you enrolled for the hypnobirthing!! I must say things have picked up speed from class 3 with more practical exercises. I really think this course is great for a first time mom! Would love to hear what you think once you start! Enjoy the shopping.

Nelsn: Mmm...google reckons you don't have anything to worry about the leaking, except that it is a bit of discomfort for the mom. Hope it doesn't increase more over the next few months...Perhaps get those washable cotton breast pads?

My LG is also at home sick - my LG is playing for hours with her marbles! She can also play for quite a while with her playdough. Good luck!

Morning mommies

how are you doing today?
faffymom@ I know, this time almost everything is different. You so fortunate having to be able to buy those big ticket items on sale.
I'm alone with my son for the next 3 days so am busy trying to find things to entertain him. Any ideas how to entertain a 5yr old.

Nelsn...No leaking here but every pregnancy is different..I'm sure your boobies are just ready for baby early?

I am so excited!!! today we are going to buy our pram and cot for little baby. Baby boom in Tokai is having a big opening sale. Super excited to have them in our home to look at every day and imagine the little monkey in it

Ladies have any of you started leaking? It seems its getting worse for me , as i was typing earlier my boobies dripped out of my tshirt onto my cushions. Earlier i eventually put tissues but they are not helping much. Isnt this still early at 23 weeks? :/
