Born Oct/Nov 2015

Good evening ladies,

Firstly PP I Absolutely agree with you regarding a caesarean, I had my appendix as a child and I know how I was back then, I know I'm an adult and my pain threshold could be different but natural just seemed the right way for me!

Zandri Stephen is so cute and looks amazing for an NICU baby, why is it that they still keeping him in there? Sorry I'm terrible at Afrikaans so I have no clue if you have answered it or not

Clueless I 100% agree with you, I am so honest about my feelings after birth with my lg, I still to this day have no clue what all my friends mean when they fell so in love with their babies after they were born, it took me at least a month and I might have had slight baby blues due to the whole pressure of breast feeding but It wasn't because of that I just didn't have that bond that so many moms talk about straight after birth!

PP just remember that the pethadene actually affects baby as well, I was told that in my antenatal class it makes them very sleepy so that could be the reason why she is probably only becoming responsive now.

Kimmy shame man you've gone from going to the loo to now not going, I've now reached a two day toilet visit which is so not like me, I hope I don't get constipated I had it for a week with my first and I wanted to die! As for DH shame I can relate I've had a few of those moments just remember it's not worth the stress and fight I'm 100% sure they get our moods!

Juanita good to hear the temp is doing so well!

Clueless regarding snacks, what went down at my LG's party was most definitely fizzers, sherbet suckers, and the fudge for some odd reason went down well too.

AFM I thankfully haven't had those pains I was mentioning the other day, just the sore hips have stuck.

Thanks Louise for those 8 signs I do have an increase in discharge (sorry for the TMI), I've had a few people say I've dropped but I never understood the whole lightening effect as I've never felt like baby is so high even with my first. I do feel that he has moved and engaged as I seem to be having more sharp shooting pain just above my Pubic bone like as if he is pressing a nerve on my bladder.

My body is taking strain though and I've hurt my back today just filing a few things for 5 minutes bent over. My bosses have all had a good chuckle when I told them I'll be going on maternity leave only from the 20th they just don't see me seeing that far!

As long as my lb waits for after my photo shoot which is next weekend he can come when ever he wants after that point!

Have a lovely evening

Clueless... I don't know of a kid that doesn't love lollipops as well as "melk ysies"... With Elmarise's bday last year I got this nice jelly filled seaworld figurines... you buy them in a pack of 12 or 24 at a factory sweets shop. In Pta we have ABC Sweets - not sure if you have something similar where you are situated?

Hahahaha... Kimmy - I've got the same paranoia of baby coming early! Every cramp, every symptom... And last night I had a dream of a "show" when I went to go pee.

Urgh... gonna speak to Dr on the 2nd to discuss my c-sec date. The 19th I will be 38.5 weeks... Elmarise came early @ 37 weeks. Can't see this little one waiting till 39 weeks

Am cramping , dont know if its from the constipation or what.
The way am scared of the whole water breaking and and and, can this baby stay until i take him out

Flavoured popcorns? I forgot the name used to crave for them at some point

Ladies, a quick question for those of you with toddlers...

Please suggest some party snacks for my LG's party on Sat? Each kid will get a party pack/bucket on the table, but some might take that home. There will be birthday cake and cupcakes. And cones and ice cream. Also grownup snacks on the grownup snack table (sausages, cheese&crackers, some cold meats, cheese puffs and some small sweet treats like little koeksisters).

But I'd like to have some party snacks especially for the kids, to put on the table too. Stuff I can buy and don't have to prepare. Like the little marshmallow cones one sometimes get? Small fizzers and chomps and chips. Any other suggestions?

Juanita i hope so too

Am having baby sleep in the room with us for couple of months, the we move him.however My son was asking me yesterday what about him , can we also bring his bed in?? But now why now, all this time he was ok with the whole arrangement.
