Good Morning Ladies

How is everyone doing? I eventually feel 90 percent human again :0).

Hello Ladies.

How is everyone today?

I have tried to catch up as much as possible. Still feeling horrible, the doc could only give me nose spray which has been helping a bit but I wish I could feel better faster. I feel sorry for poor baby who I can feel is tossing and turning a lot today probably from all the coughing. I am feeling baby a lot today which is nice to know that he or she is ok .
I will probably get kicked when baby gets bigger to make up for all the coughing.

My daughter is on the mend slowly but surely. She would get better quicker if she would take her anti biotics which I have given up on because she just spits it out or brings it up. The school manages to give her her anti inflammatory meds at least.

@ZAZA - Its actually amazing how your body changes through pregnancy and u don't really notice until you see pics of yourself and you wonder HOW did you survive or move? LOL. Your little one is so cute and clever for saying that. I asked my daughter on Tuesday where baby was on she lifted up all my layers of clothes to get to my tummy so she could rub it and kiss it. Sometimes she will rub her own tummy when I ask her the same . My gender predication was BOY :0).
You scared me now, my daughter was estimated at 4.5 KG full term but was born a KG less because of the month prem so eek. :0)

@CARMY - Welcome to the group. This forum is awesome, I used it with my first pregnancy. I have a daughter who is two years and I am currently 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Every gynea has their own way of doing stuff so best you find out from your doctor. I had about 12 blood tests done on my first visit and between 16 and 20 weeks they normally do the anomaly testing.

@LASHY - Sorry to hear your little one was also sick but glad she is better now. Ai these kids when they get sick and don't want to take meds :0(.

@NISHA - Glad is all going well with the planning. August is freezing in Cape Town so make sure you travel with warm clothes. I have a preggie roll from my first pregnancy which was a life safer but took up so much space that I moved to the spare room and after I used to to lie baby against or to just put behind baby incase they fall once they start sitting.

@HAPPI -I think the uterus has lifted off my bladder a bit for now, the toilet trips have been a bit less lately thankfully :0). I got BH around 12 weeks when it felt like I had been doing sit ups. They come and go.

@ZEE - My crazy preggie dreams have gone for now thankfully because they can be horrible sometimes. That's very sweet of your brother to dream about you. I had a dream about twins but mine was clearly about learning to juggle two children . I know there is definitely only one in there. Travel safe Zee.

Have a good weekend ladies. I am off on Monday because my daughters school is closed so have a nice four day weekend. Take care pregnant fairies and be safe

Braxton Hicks...

Happi

watz BH?????????

Do any of you guys get BH already? I do like once or twice a week. Isn't it too early?

Hi Ladies

Hope you are all well.

@Zaza same here, I didn't know you could donate it, I only knew of the storage.
Still yet to plan for father's day, its hubby's bday this weekend, so was focusing on that, wil probably get him ANOTHER gift and make him a meal. My FIL and Dad are far, so a msg will do

@Nisha, felt so gulty when I read your post, I really forget to drink water coz of this weather....but have changed my ways I really hope you come right with the VISA. I work with a lot of guys from India as well, and they say its an irritating process, but hopefully it will come right. Luv the idea of communicating with the baby.

On exercising, I started in my 2nd trimester, I walk on the treadmill and cycle, usually I do 3 times a week just to make my thighs don't lose their way but otherwise will intensify afta birth. This may b my last baby, so above it all, I just wanna make sure I enjoy the pregnancy

I called my gynae to ask abt the foetal assessments, h said its my choice, he usually sends his patients for one when he picks up any issues. So I booked 1 for tomorrow, hopefully we will confirm the gender...at least waiting for the 4th of july wont b that bad

I will post pics over the long weekend, I am on leave on Monday..yipeee. this weekend I am hoping to just rest

Enjoy preggy fairies.

Hi Nisha

I didn't know you can donate your placenta or stem cells, I have seen we have stem cell storage in SA but its very expensive here.

It's a wonderful concept though would be interested to know is anywhere in SA you can donate them, I have heard how much research now goes into the delivered placenta as they are discovering so much about it.

Hope all goes well with you VISA.
