Due December 2015

Hi Nisha

congrats on the pregnancy and welcome to our Dec mommies group.

I am not from Cape Town but I know Milnerton is a very good hospital in Cape Town.

Hope some other mum's from that area can give you some advice on that.

So are you from India formally, then we can kinda explain to you how our healthcare system for pregnancy and delivery work here and you can then decide on where to deliver?

Hi all,

Me too due in Dec 2015.. Planning to move to milnerton media clinic from my 17 the week.. Anyone presently consulting at milnerton media clinic. Please share your experience so far

Thanks,
Nisha

@ Lashy that's the scan we got a DVD recording of, so perhaps ask the doctor who does it for you if they can record that scan, it's a amazing memory to have on DVD and show your daughter so she has her own experience with her future sibling!!

@ Happi OMG a boy, I have heard boys tend to show their gender sooner, makes me suspect ours may be a girl cause baby does not want to show. And yes the moment you tell the mum and mil the news will spread like wild fire, congrats on seeing your little boy.

I have also gotten frustrated with hubby lately but he is very supportive and knows the mood swings.

My next scan is at 16 weeks so another 2 weeks time, then the big one at 20 weeks (half way), lol

The game I told Zee about earlier to get the dad's to interact with the babies in utero, have any of you tried these or other activities, I found it helped hubby and my first born bond a lot so much so when she was born she recognised her dad's voice and her eyes would move in his direction when she heard him, plus when he came for ultrasounds, we got better movements cause she responded to dad's voice. so far this baby has proven more stubborn though, lol

Hey preggy fairies

@Las hy,best feeling ever the 1st appointment ne, mine also changed to 28 Nov bt i am here to stay:) bonding nicely with you ladies.

@Nix i am due between 28 Nov and 1 Dec gynae said baba look like he will be big, so will see.

@ Zaza we are in the same boat wrt to nausea and appetite, on days when i dnt hav nausea, i am constantly hungry, so i try do fruits in between meals. i have once or twice felt movement too.

@Zee, absence makes the heart fonder at least wen you see him, yu are all loving no chance for the pregzilla hormones to take over coz i have days shame where DH is my punch bag bt he laughs and ignores me

So ladies, gynae saw gender, well i could also see but he said we will b sure on our next visit, hubby asked me to try and erase it from my brain coz here poor me can never keep still. i was itching to go buy a few baby things after appointment. Looks like we are expecting a BOY, well i could see his Thingy, gynae said boys usually show early . He was sleeping sideways and turned to give a full view. So in case it changes, i will b sure on the 4th of July. Didn't even tell my mum & mil it looks like its a Boy, coz theye will spread it in secs .... so yaa ladies i will realy be sure when when i am 18 weeks.

When next are you ladies going for your appointments?

Yes was very emotional.

So @ the next check-up the gynae brings in a prof sonographer who does the detailed scan where they check for all the high risk issues and what-what..
So kinda anxious for that one now.

But still excited hey... Atleast now I know exactly how far along I am.
An how much time the boyfriend and I have to sort our shyt out... Lol...

My 1st one came four weeks earlier so I wonder how long this one will last in there. Lol. Might just be an xmas baby...

Went to the movies on Saturday night, had some popcorn and juice.
So movie finished and then I downed the juice (didnt wana walk around with it).. Next thing I knew it wanted to come right back up with the popcorn following... had that feeling right up until yesterday afternoon with everything I attempted to eat or drink.. Even the water.. Was terrible.. So MS seems to be there in full swing hey.. My luck..

Zee you know every since your other post, all I can think about is salt and vinegar chips, lol I must admit in the last week my appetite has increased.

As I am sitting here trying not to think about salt and vinegar chips, I can feel the thudding in my lower abdomen, had my hand against it for last 5 minutes, someone is having a party in there, lol.

Glad you have a good boss Zee, you and babies safety where ever you work is most important.

Lashy by your next visit you will be close to second trimester, how exciting. And a New Year's baby, celebrations all around!!!!

@ Zaza.....thanks for all the wonderful tips, I'll certainly engage daddy in the whole interaction.

its very wise of to have kept some of ur daugher's stuff, my mom would have probably given them away to cousins lol.

Daddy is based in PTA and I work away from home, so I visit every month or he comes this side, I work in Kimberley at the mines..........don't panic I'm not so frequent in the plant, my boss is making sure.

@ Lashy, so glad baby is all gud n safe. 02 Jan means no new year celebration for u, hopefully I'll be dancing with my nana in the nursery by then lol.
