Re: New Mommies to be May, June & July 2011

Happy Monday everyone

Esmari, I hope you feel better soon! It really is awful being sick and pregnant. How is your SIL doing?

Thamu, I'm not on ML, I just stopped working. Not going back, so when Leani is 3mnths old I will have to look for a new job... which means I won't have any UIF either... bit scary

MsDee & tshepym01, yeay on the surprise baby showers I hope you have enjoyed every second of it! Mine was a total suprise as well. I stay far away from my family, so my mom booked a whole guesthouse for the long weekend in March. DH took me there on the Saturday telling me he needs to find out some prices for someone. I was very surprised and it was so nice to have my whole family there for a whole 3 days! It was like a mini-family-reunion! And of course Leani got spoiled rotten

Solo, I am very sorry to hear that your BF has started his nonsense again I will keep on praying for his mind-set to change! Maybe you should sit down with him and tell him what his insensitivity is doing to you? My DH also used to let "something" drop every once in a while and then one day I could not take it anymore and told him exactly how he made me feel and then he apologized and since then he has been very sweet and caring towards me (and I must admit that since we started ante-natal classes and he saw other couples going through exactly the same stuff as us, he also changed his mind set about the whole pregnancy)

Ladies I hope you are all doing fine, and for those who are no feeling well I hope you get well soon I hate being pregnant and sick as you can't take just anything.

I know I have been quite for a while I just don't like posting from the Phone but I have been following all your posts, I cannot do personals but I just want to say Solo you are a strong woman and you will be there for your baby don't let anyone make you doubt your confidence,oh yes you are huge for the good reasons your precious baby, we are all here to support each other so don't feel bad to come and share with other ladies.Esmari get well soon and for those that I didn't mention names also get well soon.

AFM: I am one lucky girl I am given a month paid leave for free and the good thing is it won't affect my maternity leave and my annual,our company caught fire our department is the only department affected and it is the biggest dept in the company.
They had to squeeze everyone in two floors that didn't burn and the place is just over crowded. I was told to come home and relax as the place was smelling and unconfortable for me and the baby.its going to take months to repair the place and get everything in order. I was going to start my maternity leave end of April but it started last week Monday,blessing in disguise.

I had the most memorable suprise baby shower ever on Saturday I received most of the staff that was on my shooping list to mention a few carseat, walking ring, feeding chair,huge blankets,bouncer,laundrey baskets and a lot more you will swear I made a wish list but I didn't, I think they took it from my work baby shower I told them everyone bought clothes and toiletteries and that I don't need more of that. I have a scan on the 14th which is on Thursday can't wait to see how Baby has grown and how much weight she picked up.sho what a long post, I guess this is what happens when u don't post often I will try and avoid that as I don't have a choice but to use a phone since I am on ML already.

Good morning everyone!!

How you're all doing? Not gonna do any personals!

Solo & esmari- hope you're feeling better!

Can't believe I only got 4 weeks left

Doc is little concerned about my BP which is too high, put me on tablets which seems to help a bit - but the tablets are making me feel weak and dizzy!
Doc wants me to go on ML because of BP, seeing him again on Friday and that may also be the start of my ML!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Happy Monday!

No electricity in the area so i'm sitting on my desk thinking of going to baby city.

Solo how are you feeling dear? I wish I could just shake some sense into these men! How they can be so cruel to someone carrying their child is beyond me. Don't they know how much we need them right now? And as for the thought of some woman touching your child, the thought just makes me so angry cause i've also wondered what would happen to my child should something happen to me. I hope you get the strength & wisdom to do what's right for you & your little one. & stop apologising for saying what's on your mind. Holding things in can't be good for your lo.

Esmari, I love the hair! Get well soon.

I will do a proper post with personals as soon as the electricity comes back.

Sorry ladies that I tend to vent and share too much about my personal life. I just don't know what to do sometimes! I can't share with my mom because I can't stress her or upset her - she has bipolar. I had to hide in my room this weekend on the pretense that my back was killing me. Anyway enough about me now.

Has anyone been reading the March/Apri thread? It's so exciting! And of course ClaireC, Rakker and Betty_F are all so close now

((((((hugs)))))) Esmari, I hope you feel better very very quickly. Keep us posted pls.

MsDee you must pls share some pics of your baby shower

My colleagues told me this morning that my bump is HUGE! LOL even I got a fright this morning when I woke up hehe. Maybe there are twins in there !! LOL

Talking about twins, I wonder how Sunrise is doing? Hun if you read the threads, won't you pop in and let us know how you and your babies are doing?

Morning all.

Not a good one that is. Seams I have a tummy bug. Have cramps and nausea. Just glad no runny tummy or throwing up. Phoned ob office, and the lady there cant tell met if I can have pectrolyte. She seems to think its a nose spray. Oh well, had bicarb instead. Google home remedies. A pity I dont have peppermint.

Will chat later, laying on bed with a warm water bottle.

OOOH Solo, i cant even imagine what you are going through, i am hoping its just an emotinal phase your BF is not able to deal with and has no one to turn to. I am actually going through that with my DH and i just cant cope but somewhere somehow i find my self saying he means well whatever that means. I hope all will be well for you before the baby is born though

Today when we were out with the kid the dreaded pain on my right leg just around the hip. I just dont know how i will go through the 2 and half months i still have to do. Is anyone experiencing that. I just cant walk or turn or what i never experienced this with the two kids. Ho wdo you releave the stres and with driving and all am scared.
