Due December 2015

So you are all welcome to have a good laugh at my expense!!

@Nix that a good shot of the bump hey, looking good in there. I completely agree with you on the smell things, love the fresh baking aroma's at home, but the other day at the petrol station I almost gaged cause it got me the wrong way. I like your rolling over strategy, I just niddle hubby and say please help me roll over, lol Although my belly is not as big as my first time around my abdomen is very heavy this time, it is already giving me some back ache after driving long or walking long. Going to ask my gynae tomorrow (and I wrote it down so I don't forget) if anything else but banana can help with the leg cramps. Banana although it helps it is aggravating my heart burn.

@Lashy you know I love my peanut butter, those peanut butter biscuits sound awesome, I have reduced my intake of peanut butter but I love the smell of toast with peanut butter. Although my mum has baked a lot for Eid I am trying to only sample one or two biscuits trying to control my sugar intake but it's hard, temptation.

@Happi we had two cold days in DBN on Mon and Tues max was 16 degrees, and that's cold in DBN but today we back to the normal 26 degrees, lol so winter came only for 2 days to DBN. I know how cold JHB gets, the nice thing is you can use all the nice jackets, hats, boots in JHB, not in DBN, I miss the winter dress up part.
Ouch you fell on your bum!!! hope you and baby are ok?

@Nisha wow you croche, I have no talent when it comes to needlework, I wish I did, can sew buttons and make hem's but other than that, nothing else. You must show us pics of what you make.

Ok so I need to go psych myself up again for the actual appointment tomorrow!!! hope you all have a splendid day and will catch up later.

Yay I am so glad to hear that your are all well and active again on the group, I really do miss all our chats!!!

So ladies, you know I was up early this morning always make extra effort for the gynae visit which was scheduled for 09h30 this morning, it's a big one, right 20 weeks, hubby was very sad he could not make it so I took my mum and daughter with me, got calls and messages from family(even my in laws) and friends saying good luck with the scan and let us know as soon as you know the gender, the big question everyone is waiting to have an answer to.

All happy and excited I get to the gynaes rooms and the receptionist looks at me and smiles and says "Naseema what are you doing here today, you know Dr is not here on Wednesday" and I start laughing and said I diarised the date and time on my cell, my assistant calls me to remind cause I really have porridge brain this trimester, my entire family everyone I convinced it was my gynae appointment today and turns out, I took down the wrong date.

I have never had such a good laugh at myself, I cannot explain the porridge brain I have with this pregnancy, so I have no new scan's or gender reveals for you guys either, as I am actually only having my real appointment tomorrow!!!

My mum was not impressed cause she thinks the baby is hiding from her cause she can't make I to the scan tomorrow. lol this is the biggest porridge brain incident I had so far for this pregnancy. In my first pregnancy the biggest incident was when I left work one day I know I park my car in the office park basement, but for the life of me I could not find my car, took for about 30 minutes but I did find it, oh the wonders of pregnancy!!!!

Good Morning Ladies.



I agree with Lashy, we still need to be here for each other. I do feel so guilty though for posting :0(


I feel like I have grown overnight a bit. Baby is very active, lots of stretches (uncomfy) and movements. I felt the first little pop from the outside on Friday night and have since felt more so its definitely making it more real now and the bond is becoming stronger. I have got backache today and I want pineapple so badly right now with a crumbed chicken burger or wrap from KFC.

@Lashy - how is the house hunting going? Its good chatting on here because then everyone can read it but its also good to have contact numbers for in case we cant post and we need to let the others know what's happening like when I went into labour and went to hospital with my daughter, I could send a message to my one friend I made on this site and ask her to let everyone know so they don't worry.

@Happi - Sorry you weren't well but glad you better now. What was wrong? I'm glad you landed on your bum and not your tummy and that you are ok.

@ Zaza - I'm was 18 weeks yesterday and I am going for my scan next Friday (24th) so I hope baby plays along.I am also starting to get a bit of heartburn but very mildly. Goodluck with the party planning - wow so many children . Sometimes this preggie sense of smell is a curse but other times a blessing with all these yummy smells around. Good luck for your scan. What time is it? I cant wait to hear how it went .

@Nisha - Im glad you have all your arrangements and plans in place and everything is working out without delays. How is your hubby adjusting over there? At least he has got a place to stay for you guys and its close to the beach and now he can get familiar with the surroundings. Do you currently rent a place or how is it going to work when you leave?
I have pains in my legs also. It started in early pregnancy, especially in my left hip but now I have to constantly change sides and the bigger you get the more of a mission it becomes. It becomes a 4 step process towards the end - you have to remove the pillows, roll onto your back, roll onto your side and then put the pillows back :0)

Please post some belly pics. Here is mine from yesterday, I though I should show some skin :0)
Have a good day ladies xx

Hello Everyone

Hope all you ladies are doing well.

Zaza, my mummy baked biscuits for me the weekend. Peanut butter biscuits nogal.

My next app is only on the 03/08

Thank you ladies for whatsapping me.
I still prefer coming here and chatting lol...

Hope Zee is doing okay too.

Hi Ladies

Well, not to cul a morning 4 me, just fell off my chair at work, landed on my bottom, , but am gud, my boy is kicking up a storm, so I think we are gud. so far no heart burn....heaven 4 me I had it bad with my daughter.


@Nisha.....just a few more weeks and yu are with hubby, as Zaza said, try and walk around as much as yu can on the plan, so yu stretch.

Zaza its you app day today lets hope baby moon is In a gud mood today and will show you the gender.

enjoy yo day.

Hi all.

Hope all r good..

Lashy.. Carmy..nix..happi.. All okay ??

@zaza - I saved ur number too dear..ping u soon.. Have great fun in your daughter bday party.. I'm kinda jealous with all the aroma in ur home with your baking stuffs.. I wish I could have some..so craving..

And for heartburn..even I have milk in night. Though my tummy looks big now..I'm still comfortable sleeping on my back sometimes.and I just try not to lay down like that for long time. So I turn to left side n sleep.

And that pain ia not in thighs for me..its in heel..the same needle pricking pain in heel and calf . but not in thighs.. Although my bikini line aches sometime. Don't know y.

And I'm gonna take all tips for the flight. Planning to make some sandwiches and take some nuts, biscuits and an empty bottle that I can fill after security in the airport..

Though I got good baggage allowance since I can't carry much weight it just my clothes n other important stuffs. All shopping I'm gonna do only in third trimester. That's what is considered the good time to buy for baby.. Some belief runs in our culture like that.

Guess what..I'm crocheting n killing my time..though didn't get even one piece right..I'm doing it.. Else I get so bored..

Take care u all..

@Nisha I forgot I think for your long flight make sure you get up and stay mobile, stretch the arms and legs, like you suggest drink lots of water and maybe carry some snacks from home so you don't get too much heartburn.

I have only ever flown in my first trimester, so being bigger I am sure will be harder to sleep on the plane, but think soon you will be in Cape Town, you will have the lovely beaches to relax at and be with your hubby.
