Hallo Everybody!

Hope all of you are doing fine and specially those who are suffering from morning illness!

AFM - I again still feel great! And I know this is going to sound bad but it frustrates me, I still have no symptoms and no bump etc... I honestly do not feel pregnant, I feel pretty normal! Just wish the time can go a bit quicker so that I can either see or feel I am pregnant! My next scan is only the 11th of May and the days are really dragging feet to get there!

So enough of my complaining of feeling good! How are you all doing?

Hi Mommas,

my nausea takes me for quite a ride. I have lots of good days and then suddenly it strikes again. I hope it passes soon! Cheese and toast still works for me.

I started to get a cold over the weekend and it has struck with full force today. I feel horrible with a lovely sore throat. I'm taking panado for the aches and fever and andolex for my throat. As well as a bit of vitamin C. Does anyone have any other remedies for colds/flu when pregnant? I'm a Grade R teacher and my whole class is sick this morning so I suppose there is something in the air.

I also seem to get more irritated and upset than usual. My husband says I snap alot these days. haha the hormones!

I need to go for blood tests this week that will be used with my next scan results (which is 14May). I cannot wait to see my little one again.

Hope everyone has an lovely day!

Hi ladies

Hope you had a nice long weekend.

We had our gynae app on sat. Saw my little pumpkin for the 1st time, heart beat everything was fine.

Seeing Gynae again end of May, I will be 13 weeks then, he said we will do some tests, have forgotten what those are

Due date is 1 Dec, but will stay on this group, so will be the last one in the lot if baba doesn't come early .

Nausea has its days but I got sea bands at dischem, I wear them when it gets quite hectic and they help, it doesn't go away but bcomes manageable.

Enjoy your day ladies

Hey Tonic – I also went off plain water. I started off with having about 750ml powerade in the morning and then about another 750ml to a litre of water daily. Then I went off the water and started with fruit juice conc. Then I vomited up the powerade and went off that too! First wanted mango/orange, then went to berry (and found it too sweet after I'd used one and a half bottles of concentrate – there's a lonely half bottle still sitting in my fridge that I need to throw out). Now I seem to have settled on plain orange conc. I'm trying to dilute it a bit more though so that I don't take in too much sugar

And I was also going mad for the screening. I got completely stressed out 'cause I called my doctor and asked about the blood test results and she said that they were only valid with the u/s results. After the u/s, my doctor hadn't received the report when I went to see her, but I know that the U/S was ok because the ultrasound tech still told me that everything was normal. I know my doc would've called me if there were something wrong, so I'll just wait until I see her on Monday – can't wait to see my little one again

How's everyone else doing? I was quite lazy over the long weekend, but I was impressed that I managed to get shopping done and survived my weekend shifts without snapping at any patients. I find my tolerance for the general public has had quite a reduction, I really respect people who can work in retail without losing it! Retail pharmacy is when I can really feel my hormones making me irritable!

And I thought that my morning sickness had passed, but apparently bad/gross smells are still quite bothersome for me

Hey Leewa,

I'm in the same situation...morning sickness is killing me too, some days are much worse than others! I've found ginger biscuits, Marie biscuits and I've been drinking very diluted Isotonic Game, naartjie flavour co's sometimes plain water makes me feel worse, my Doctore recommended it to make sure I don't dehydrate...

My Fiancé is also very far away, we see each other almost every weekend but weekdays he's away which is tough when you feel like pooh all the time!

Anyway I believe everything will work its way out and things will settle before the bundle of joy arrives!

Dunno if you or anyone else has found themselves being much more impatient, waiting for the 13 week screening scan and the tests is driving me dilly with worry and excitement all rolled into 1!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, hope your sickness eases up!

Hi ladies.
Anybody on the Discovery KeyCare Plus medical aid?

Hi all,

Hope you're all doing well. I was just wondering if there's anyone planning on using cloth diapers? Doing my research and the Mother Nature and Bambino mio ranges are what I have been recommended. Still doing some research, I suppose there's a bit of time to gather the info. Let me know your thoughts
