hi there ladies,

hope the heartburn goes away quickly.

i had 2 day now of very little morning sickness, really hoping it passes now.
but looks like my new little niggle is headaches.
now only 1 week to go till my first scan, so im getting more and more excited by the day

Daerhel i told them they will find out only when it comes time to send out the Baby shower invites.... dont think they impressed with me cz im having my baby shower only when i go on maternity leave and thats like nearly 3 weeks before im due....

Morning sickness def not easing, asic seems to make it worse for me and im taking the tabs so i dont knw what to do.

heartburn is killing me specially since i love my chillies, had to cut that out and drinking gaviscon like its water, have to speak to my gynae abt that. when is every 1s follow up? my next app is the 12th of Feb, i will be 13 weeks and every one says theres a chance we might see the sex, not getting my hopes up though.

Welcom Suki and congrats on the pregnancy!

Ayesha, I can't believe the bets are starting already! LoL! I would find out and then make everyone wait an extra month before telling them, just coz it'd be funny!
I can't wait to find out, but my GP says we'll probably only know for sure round the end of March when we visit the gynae.

Heartburn is horrible! I find I don't have it every day, just some days, but I can't work out what triggers it, as all I can eat atm is fruit.
I've had no morning sickness, but red meat is making me feel very sick to my stomach!
I've just been sucking on Rennies for now, dr says that it's fine for now as long as it's helping.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Have you ladies tried Gaviscon Super? I wasn't even aware of it until yesterday when my GP diagnosed me with reflux. I was experiencing serious upper adominal cramps and pain and he told me that heartburn isn't the only indicator (I thought it was so chalked the pain up to gas). The Gaviscon Super worked so well.

I see a few of you still have nausea, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I no longer use my Sea Bands during the day but it's still bad at night. Other symptoms include pregnancy rhinitis which causes gross postnasal drip at night, worsens nausea. Have been using a neti pot which helps.

I know, I am kinda like that , told every one already to please make sure they only buy Elizabeth Anne if they wanna buy, I cant explain it but to me Elizabeth Anne is the ultimate baby smell i love it and its sooo good used it for my niece, we only used that on her so im mad over it

hehehe... thats soooo funny actually taking bets

thats a good idea. try not to buy to much before your baby shower.
with my boy i got everything i needed and lots of it. he is now 9 months and i still use the wet wipes from my shower. only needed to buy clothes when he was 6 months old and outgrew everything i got. and i probably have enough soap and shampoo to never buy ever again and i already gave a few bottles as baby shower gifts

yup stella,. think they doing it to get to my husband, though his biggest supporter is my gran, she insists it will be a boy and that makes my hubby over the moon. but right now between my fam and my hubbies theres naerly R900 on a girl and R200 on the boy...hehe...

i know what u mean, i cant wait to start shopping but we decided to wait until we know what we having. since its my 1st and my in laws 1st grand child they planning a huge baby shower so i decided to do a baby registry at baby boom, that way there wont be unnecessary extras.
