LADIES DUE SEPTEMBER 2015 :-)

Awww TCS84, I am so happy for you!! What a relief it must be that everything is okay!

Your little boy is just beautiful!

Hey ladies

All went well with the specialist. We are really happy now!!
Dr showed us every detail and thoroughly checked the heart again. All 100% perfect! He's growing beautifully...

He switched to 4D and we got to see him. It was unbelievable... He's beautiful in every way possible!!!
I've attached a pic

Hello all!

I'm back from a week's leave, didn't check a single work email or even our forum. Glad to see you're all well!

Kamogelo, congrats on finding out your baby is a boy. September is boy month, for sure!

Radmom, hope you get to find out at your next scan what your angel's gender is. Maybe you'll be the girl-mom, although at the rate our forum is going I'd be surprised if it isn't a boy too.

TCS, I'm so happy for your "good" news at the scan. I think we'll all be equally relieved to get the green light from the scan, but in your case I'm exceptionally happy and know that this probably means a little more to you than we can understand.

And me, doing ok. Blood pressure still low, last week I had one or two really bad days with dizziness. On Tuesday I spent most of my time laying on my back, and even then I felt like I was falling. Much better now, baby is busy with his kicks, seeing the Dr next Tuesday for our anatomy scan.

As for Princess Kate, how insanely beautiful did she look only 12 hours after giving birth? She obviously had a normal delivery (else she couldn't have walked), and her baby wasn't exactly tiny and it must've hurt like hell. So how is it humanly possible to look that gorgeous, and walk (in heels!) without the slightest limp? I'm just amazed at the whole business. Her baby is really gorgeous, makes me extra broody

Hi Radmom,

Glad you are doing well!! I know all to well about that post nasal.. Have you tried using the SSR? salex rinse. comes with sachets and its like a netti pot in a bottle. works very very very well! try it.. completely safe.
at first i couldnt do it cos i dont like stuff going up my nose but after i actually did it and how it felt after with clear passages etc, i used often and still use from time to time...

My Anatomy scan went really well. Everything is 100% so far... We got to see our boy for a lot longer and he was moving about like you cant believe! the sonographer said he will be keeping us on our toes when hes born.. i got some awesome pics too..

Today is my last appointment with Dr Bhorat. the fetal specialist. I cant wait to mostly see the little guy again. i think a little nervousness is normal but im sure all will be okay...

My belly is much bigger now. Its not HUge but i am def pregnant! lol exactly 22 weeks today.

Anyone see the Royal baby girl? she is beautiful! i cannot wait to hold my little guy... Kate looked amazing and so fresh and made up lol... i hope i can look half as decent as that!

Anyway ladies have an awesome day and week ahead...

Hi ladies.
Sorry I've been quiet. Hope you've all had an excellent long weekend!

Berry, I had exactly the same thing at my scan 2 weeks ago. The little darling just lay there sleeping with his/ her legs tightly crossed. The poor gynae really tried to get it to move, and did some fairly hefty poking and prodding, but no luck. We go again on the 13th, so hopefully we'll be able to find out then. I can't imagine having to wait another month after that!!! A friend told me to eat some wine gums before (which I did), but we were hit by load shedding, and by the time we got to the scan I think the sugar had worn off. I'll try the Coke though!!!

I've been doing well. My tummy is growing daily, and the baby is kicking nice and hard now. In retrospect, I think I've been feeling rumbles since about 15 weeks, which I passed off as gas, since it was "too early". Now I really can feel the difference between the baby just moving (what I felt before), and the real kicks. If I have my hand on my tummy when it happens, I still get a bit of a fright. It's a great feeling though.

No real difficulties at the moment (hope that lasts!), except for a never-ending postnasal drip (for the last 6 weeks!!), which never puts me in a good mood at the best of times. Irritating, but not the worst thing I could be experiencing!

Thank you for the heads up about Mama Magic DSK. I've also been wondering which one to go to, and I will definitely pick up my free ticket and head down on a Thrusday or Friday!

Good luck for your scan tomorrow TCS84, and I hope everybody else has a good week.

Hi Ladies!

Sorry ive been so quiet .... i have been so busy tying up work. was in JHB for 2 days last week and it was a busy weekend so havent had time.

How are we all doing?

Ive been well. my lower back has been acting up a bit. played golf on sunday and by the 18th hole i was limping was annoyed.. i went for a massage today and its helped tons. she told me to play 9 holes instead of 18 because its not the movement of the swing thats causing the pain but actually being on my feet for so long...

i somehow have also managed to hurt my neck last night in my sleep. i cannot look left .. only partial turning... all these lose joints etc are getting to me as i feel 100 years old!!!! sleeping is so uncomfortable for me.. i toss and turn alot and to get from 1 side to the other takes forever cos i feel stiff and heavy

other than that im good ..

how has everyone else been?
tomorrow is my anatomy scan.. im 21 weeks .. really looking forward to it but also feel really scared and nervous because the last time around the anatomy scan was where we found out the worst... so im hoping no more bad luck!!

Hi Ladies

Stjoe I have not been here for a while and I am happy to see we all still doing well. I see there are so many boys on the way, Guess what I am also caring a very busy baby boy. I went for my scan this weekend and I must say he moves around as if there is no tomorrow it was even hard for us to get a proper scan pic. I must say though if there is one thing he was proud to show off was his tiny little winy. It was so adorable he looked as thou he was performing. I took a long video of the scan and I must say it felt pretty amazing seeing that I had this precious life inside, I felt really blessed and it made me realize that life is truly really precious and we must enjoy it.
