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

Hi Weeskind! Welcome back, we missed you .
I hope you find a new place soon, looking for new home and moving is very stressful.
Yay on the baby shower and I love the name Leani! Even though you are not feeling 100%, I do envy you for being on ML.

MsDee!! So you had your baby shower yesterday!! It must have been fantastic! Can't wait for you to tell us all about it.

Thamu is right - maybe one of you should start a VBAC thread. Good idea Thamu.

Good idea to put VBAC on the due dates list! And then also those for those that are first time mums-to-be! How many of there amongst us that are first timers. And how many are mums already? Interesting

AFM things are not good. I really don't want to start the whole BF drama here again, but he has started his nonsense again. Told me on friday that he is so unattracted to me that he doesn't even want to touch me or hold my hand. I can't even begin to tell you how hurt I am.
"I don't do fat chicks". Well I was slightly overweight when we met and he "did" me then, enough for me to fall pregnant. I can't believe this man is the father of my child and that I'm going to have to share my child with him every second weekend or whatever his parental rights are. The thought of that makes my skin crawl - and can you imagine his new girlfriend holding my child? Its not right.
He has the cheek to assume that its his right to be there in the delivery room!! "Its my son and I have rights" he said. Holy cow. The man needs help.
Anyway, its a mess. I've spent the weekend sobbing my heart out because of the hurtful things he said and also the fear that I have to share my child in split homes and what about my child's psychological health with the backwards and forwards to mommy and daddy etc. He is insisting on being part of the baby's life right from birth.
Yikes, I wouldn't even let anyone look after my dog or cat, now I have to hand over my child. All I want is a loving secure family... Please, please pray for me.

Am soo happy for you MsDee for the surprise, its not just the shower but the party itself that is priceless having time to chat and just sit with people close to you is nice.

I agree with you Esmari on the VBAC journey can you please start the thread Rakker, there are soo many other moomies with the kind of anxiaties we have on this and will be so informative anyway.

Enjoy your sick leave Weeskind, but does it take away your maternity leave days.

Ladies I had the BEST surprise baby shower ever yesterday!

Tell you more about it tomorrow, just came to brag!

Wow, seems like there is a lot of vbac ladies on our topic. Can you put that on the list Rakker? You must ask if you want me -one of the babies of the group - to take it over. Seeing as your dd is around the corner.

Oh man, woke up with a headace! And I am extremely hungry. Cant seem to get out of bed though! Wish dh could get up and go get us coffee........

Thanks for the compliments regards photos. I just love my new hair. Its so light and managable. Oh, and I believe my bump is still nice and small, with ds I looked ready to pop at this stage. Baba only measuring 3 days ahaid (sinse the start), so hopefully he is not too big. Really want my vba2c. Grrrr, have to get on the scale for a change.

Ok, looks like I will be making the cofee. Again.

Hi ladies

Esmari - you look lovely, and your bump is sp precious!

Solo- your bum is also lovely!
My gynae said that if I have no contractions they can't give me oxytocin as this could rupture my uterus.
I guess all gynae's operate differently, he does everything, first checks urine sample, then onto the scale, then a lie down for blood pressure and then the scan. After that it's a quick chat, any question time and that's it... But yes lucky that I have never had to wait.
Sorry about your heart burn in the throat...I sometimes get like a closed up feeling there, not sure what's that's all about, but I really have not suffered from heartburn during pregnancy..

TaNasha- wishing you a very happy birthday, filled with much love and happiness. Enjoy the scan, picnic, dinner and movie, it all sounds wonderful!!

Karienh- are you going the cloth nappy route? I have thought about it... But I think in the end i will use disposables..

Thamu- yes we are together with the VBAC- it must be quite a thing, as most gynae's seem to be against it? Oh well, I would like to experience natural birth, but i will follow gynae's advice, and hopefully I won't be too disappointed if i have a c section.

Hi Weeskind- sorry you have not been well. So are you on ML already? Love your name choice xx
Enjoy your antenatal class. Did you get some lovely things at your baby shower?

AFM- 37 weeks now, so only 3 more to go....and yay no swollen hands or feet this time around, my wedding rings still fit, things are looking great.
Hoping to relax this weekend and do some more prep work on babies room... Got to do it now, as I know I will have no time once baby
arrives...

Hallo everyone!!!
Feel as if I have been mia since for ever! Although I did get the brainwave to subscribe to the thread like more than a month ago, so I am up to date with what has been happening to everybody

Esmari your hair looks stunning! I hope everything is going to be alright with your sil. Thinking of her lots and lots.

Solo I like your bump... I have not taken even one pic of my bump yet... don't have the guts to post it in anyway lol.

Geez I think if I do personals now this post will be in the Genius book of records So glad to see everyone is still here and that things are going generally good.

I would have worked till end of April (looking after Kaylie) but after being continuously sick for more than a month my doctor advised me to rather stop working all together as I have a non-existing immune system and I'm picking up everyone's germs and stuffs. Now I am not allowed to go close to anyone that is sick I am currently recovering from bronchitis.

Other than that, baby is doing fine. It is still a little girl and her name is going to be Leani. DH chose her name and I am quite happy with it as it goes well with our surname. We have started ante natal classes, baby shower is done and dusted and it's still two more months before we meet Leani, so I have no clue what I am going to do with myself until then!

At the moment we are desperately looking for a new place to stay. Our rent is going up but the issue is that after the increase we will be paying 4k for our 1bdroom flat, which I feel is way too much! And I want to move asap and not wait till im almost due before we move, or even move when Leani is only a few weeks old. Some of our friends stay in 3bdroom places for 4k which is at least worth it.

So glad it is weekend, and will be spending lots of time with DH and start to get Leani's stuff ready. We have not even started to prepare our room for her or anything. I also avoid shops at the moment!

Enjoy your weekend everyone! Take care

Lovely bumbs Solo and Esmari and your hair is lovely Es. Just celebrating Friday and some hope of an interesting weekend. Just hope your weekends are interesting.

I haven't really had a heartburn but have had a problem with Bras I think someone once mentioned the breast rubbing against each other and the bra worsens that.

Betty we are in the same VBAC hope, my fingers will be crossed for yu.
