im 20 weeks today
now the count down begins.
had a very rough night with my lb, so i'm hectic tired today. and morning sickness hitting me hard this morning.

StellaK I am thinking of going the cloth nappy route. Could you please let me know which brands you used for your son. What all I will definitely need to help me determine the costs and how many nappies I will need.

Would I have to order everything online?

Hi ladies

Angie I'm so glad you had a better night's sleep! SO glad I could help

Daerhel thanks for explaining the name to me...I had it totally wrong! What a lovely gesture and lovely meaning behind it:)

Ayesha sorry the MS is back... I feel you, mine hasn't left yet. Hoping i'm not going through this for all 39 weeks! Hope you feel better today.

Can't remember who asked about the scan, but if memory serves me correctly, the NT scan is the Down's at around 13 weeks and the Anomaly scan is done just after 20 weeks to check for any abnormalities.

Also battling heartburn the last 3 days. Got huge bottle of gaviscon, but yes also find it doesn't really work. EEK...it's awful! And vomiting just makes it worse!

Kel welcome! Your nickname gave me such a pang....used to be the nickname of a friend of mine who is no longer with us. BUt nice to see the name on the screen....made me nostalgic:) Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! Boys still dominating for our month...he he.

Morning ladies

Shame Ayesha I hope you feel better soon.

I have a huge appetite and eat everything in sight except chicken.

Gaviscon Peppermint Tablets really help me when it comes to heartburn.

I wanna start using something for stretchmarks before they appear, what works best? Bio-oil, Happy Event or Palmer's Tummy Butter?

I'm also relieved it's half way through the week! I'm just thinking about the long weekend next week, that's what's getting me through the next few days. Decided to take the Thursday off & I'm flying up to durban for 2 days for work conference. So only really have to work on the Wednesday

I'm in the same boat with regards to not going back to work after maternity leave! I'm a medical rep in the cape & from June onwards my company is expecting me to travel up country for a week every 3 weeks. I told them that it's doable for me currently, but I can't do that when I have a little one come the end of the year.

i am with you on that daerhel, keep trying to sort out our finances so that i can afford to stay home, hoping DH gets a better paying job soon.

baby is not even here and i am dreading having to leave them at home and work, dont want my child to grow up how i did if that makes any sense?

Daerhel good luck with the heartburn, i have given up and just live with the reflux coz nothing helps

Morning Ladies!!

Yay it's Wednesday!
Anyday is better than Monday! LoL!

I'm feeling good. Just struggling with heartburn! bad! Gaviscon is not helping at all. At the moment I'm alternating between the Gaviscon and sucking on Rennies. I get about 10 minutes relief if I'm lucky. Bleh!

Ai Ayesha. I know the feeling. We're still struggling to finish of the February year end after they retrenched half our finance staff, and now we have to start on March month end at the same time!
Quite honestly I'm considering not coming back after the maternity leave, it's just too stressful being so short staffed.

Hope your morning sickness gets better Ayesha!
