Due March 2019

Hello everyone,

@Charma sorry to hear about your bp, it would be nice for baby to just come on his own, I hear induction can be quite something else. 

Cands and Kels sorry to hear about your round ligaments pain guys. I hope it get's better, though I doubt it will until after babas are here. Just hang in there.

I'm birthing at Fourways Life with a midwife. I want to stay at work for as long as possible. I'm only planning to go on maternity leave at the end of Feb, 10 days before my due date, wish me luck guys hahaha. Luckily I'm still sleeping very well, I literally just pass out, up once or twice during the night for the bathroom but get back to bed and I'm GONE! So at least I'm getting some good rest. I hope it stays like this throughout, lol. I'm excited to be entering the 6th month on Sunday, I can't wait, 23w3d today.

@kels I am also experiencing quite a bit of round ligament pain! my first trimester was also good. only had a few moments of vomiting and nausea. otherwise it was good! white bread was the best haha.
You are so right! Anything for our little ones!

Where is everyone having your babas? 

When is everyone taking maternity leave from? Just before you have baby or a few weeks before?

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies.
Mama K my due date is 14 March and m having a boy, found out very early around 12 weeks.
@Cands m currently 22w4d, we just a day apart.

M one of those experiencing round ligaments gosh plus leg pain/ cramp. Didn't c it coming after having such an easy first trimester without morning sickness/ nausea. But m not complaining, anything for the Prince.

@kels I meant to say that I am exactly the same as you. I am 22w3d today, i think you are 22w3d too? so cool!

@mamaK i have picked up about 8kg, maybe a bit more. but I do have twins so thats probably why. steadily increasing a week. roughly 600g - 1kg a week. Which isnt so bad. Babies are over 500g by now each. My little girl is currently bouncing on my bladder. loving it hahaha.

Shew sleep is terrible at the moment. Feel hungover the whole day!!! Also hunger is crazy!!!!

I also want to get a belly binder for after babies @charm1. I know carrywell does good ones. I am also looking for one. Going to check at Mama magic too.

@MamaK, i have decided on natural now plus my Gynea is also pro-natural but may have to be induced because of my BP. I am 20 weeks 1 day today. 

@Cands, i am also struggling to sleep plus the heat is not helping at all

Hello ladies,

Feels so good to hear from everyone again.

@Cands so sorry to hear about the lack of sleep hun, I hope it gets better. Also for round ligaments pains, I'm not having those, they better stay right where they are, lol!

@Kels - a Huge WELCOME to you and CONGRATULATIONS on your rainbow baby, wishing you a relaxed and lovely pregnancy. When is your due date? and do you know the sex of the baby?

@Charma - so sorry to hear that you are still struggling, how far along are you now? I wont be getting a postpartum belt, I have a waist trainer that I plan to use. I take it you are going natural? You were not so sure the last time. Feel better soon my love.

AFM 23w1d today *sigh* bring on the 3rd trimester already! My next Dr's appointment is on the 22nd November, only thing I'm looking forward to really. Also excited to be getting into the 6th month on Sunday shuuu, we have pushed ladies, wow! Hows the weight gain, at the last appointment on the 26th October I had only put on 3kgs since the start of my pregnancy, Dr said I'm not gaining enough weight (can you imagine), but said he wasn't concerned as the baby was growing normally. I really don't want to gain a lot but I know the 3rd trimester brings about serious weight gain as baby's size literally shoots up in just 3 months.

Hi ladies,

Welcome Kels - I think I remember you from some of the groups <3 so sorry to hear about your loss! but you have a blessing on the way now. Your little rainbow baby <3

I am feeling a bit shite at the moment. I think babies are growing quickly. i keep an eye on them with my fetal monitor at home. its been a life safer! just cant sleep at the moment. But I am realllly loving being pregnant. it is so special!
