Morning Ladies!!!

Month end and financial year end at work, so I'm not getting much time to post at the moment. But I am reading everything!

I went searching for maternity wear this weekend past. And found nothing!! My fiance's family is in Centurion, and I dragged his mum from store to store to store at the malls.
Really tho, I am not prepared to pay R500 to R1000 just for a pair of maternity jeans at the 1 maternity shop we did manage to find!
I went with some nice loose jeggings (to steal Ctelly's description) from Jet for about R140.
(I'm already wearing 2 sizes larger than normal and am scared to think how big I'm going to get!!)
I find tho that leggings are comfiest for me right now, as long as the elastic sits under the baby bump. Anything over it irritates me.
I got some beautiful tops also a couple of sizes bigger from Pick 'n Pay Clothing, that are all stretchy material and still have some room to grow. Don't think I paid more than R150 a top, which I thought was great!
Really not prepared to spend too much on special maternity wear, if I can just find regular clothes that are comfy. Even if I have to buy a few new tops or leggings every now and then.
Figured I'd just donate the bigger sizes to someone else who needs them later on when I'm done with them and (hopefully) back to my old self.

@Meags, my next scan is next Tuesday too!

Luckily my GP has a sonar machine, and does scans with every appointment. After that tho it's off to the gynae, so I'll have to see how often he'll do scans.

I've booked a 4D scan for June, when I'll be around 30 weeks or so. June seems so far away, but time flies and it'll be here sooner than we expect!
Taking my fiance's mum with us and she is just as excited already!

Also struggling with bad headaches, but that could just be the stress at work.
For now I'm just taking the Panados, which do absolutely nothing!, but I will be asking the dr if there isn't something better that's safe to take.

Hope you all have an awesome day!!

Hi everyone!

I do read as everyone posts but just not finding time to post much myself.
I have no news really!
My next scan is next week Tuesday (well I have a gynae app....I am hoping he will do a scan!)
After this I will only have a scan at 22 weeks and 32 weeks and that will be it! EEK!!!

Still not wanting to find out the gender. So hope I manage to stay strong.

Keep well ladies xxx

Simone, for the past few weeks I felt it after sleeping on my hands but now I feel it during the day as well... I will Google it, thanks.

Angie is it all the time? I battled with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome in my first pregnancy. It was awful...could barely brush my own hair. Google it and see if the symptoms fit.

I go have numb hands when I wake up in the morning from sleeping on my arm for too long.

Good morning Moomies

@Daerhel, thank you so much for sharing. Birth stories on tv and the internet are so traumatising

Anyone else with painful/tingling/numb hands?

Thanks StellaK, I'll try on some skirts and dresses, and some other bigger size trousers etc. Once again your opinions have helped me a lot thanks!
I see a Shopping spree ahead...
