Born Oct/Nov 2015

Hello ladies, thanx for the support. Baby weighed 1.85kg's my doctor said it was still within range and nothing to worry about but his growth rate has come down slightly. So they are monitoring me and doctor want to give baby some cortisone to help his lung development along. My blood pressure is down it was 131/81 compared to 145/87 this morning. Baby is doing very well his heart rate is perfect.

@HVDB - staff here are very friendly and helpful so I feel very relaxed.

I agree that it is better to be monitored and to make sure everything is fine.

Good afternoon all,

Zandri, take it easy. If anything the preeclampsia has probably been caught in the early stages. You are in good hands at least and it can be monitored. If anything if its necessary to have baby whether you are mentally prepared or not just think of both yours and babies health.

How big was baby? Just know I'm thinking of you and I'm sure everything will be fine sending you lots of love!

Kimmy I was told at my antenatal classes not to use j & j aqueous cream as it has cancer causing chemicals. I have a friend who keeps posting about it as well that all their products have it, to be honest you can believe it or not, I have been using it on my lg although I am an organic freak now I still use certain of their products. I also believe that people will try their utmost best to find fault in everything and so we really need to have an open mind about what is actual proof and what isn't.

It's pretty much like the whole vaccines debacle. You have to do your own research and make a decision on your own.

Clueless with regards to the placenta I could not imagine keeping that in my freezer, lol. I know some believe you should cook it and eat it as well. Not my cup of tea, the hospital can get rid of it thank you very much.

Zandri keep us updated

@ZandriT be strong girl, you are in good hands, I am sure that they will do all and everything to keep preclampcia at bay. I also thought that I was not yet ready for Cara... mentally that is... but when she came it all changed. The staff and Dr's at Kloof is fantastic... so don't stress, take it easy and rest, rest, rest! Everything will go well, you will see!

Good luck Zandri, please keep us updated!!! Will keep you and your little man in our prayers!

Ohh zandri , will pray for you, please try relax aswel "hugs"

@clueless, what did they say about head to toe? I bought it. I think am gonna use aqueous cream to bath him for the first few days, i remember they advised me to do that at genesis clinic with my DS i dont remember what the reason was though. I also love elizabeth anne, i use the lotion for myself too

Hi ladies

Had my 33 week appointment this morning and my doctor was very worried about the symptoms I have been having and my blood pressure as well. Anyway long story short I have been admitted to the hospital. They are monitoring me to make sure its not preclampcia. Please pray for me that its not. I am not yet ready to have the baby now. Mentally I still have to prepare myself

Morning ladies!

Beautiful day in Jhb this morning! how are all of you? I didn't sleep very well cause LG had some stomach problem/cramps/diarrhea but at least it's Friday!

On baby products, I use mostly Elizabeth Anne, as the midwife in our antenatal class three years ago warned against J&J, especially the top to toe wash. Bennetts Bum cream for normal day use and Sudocrem and Creche Guard Probiotic skin spray if a rash develops. I cannot recommend the Creche Guard spray enough, it is awesome! I use Lansinoh nipple ointment with lanolin, and will probably also start applying a week or so before birth. For washing I'm using normal Ariel detergent, but rinse with vinegar(about 100ml or so). It doesn't leave any smell but makes the washing very soft.

Wanted to ask you mommies. When I was at the Maternity ward on Tuesday, the sister who did the assessment asked if I plan to keep my placenta and take it home after birth. I know that some celebrities have been making placentophagy more popular, but didn't realize it has become a common thing these days??
