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

TaNasha I'm sure what you are feeling are kicks!

With me the fluttery, squirmy feelings just got stronger until they felt like something inside me knocking!!! It can sometimes feel like a massive gas bubble moving along, but it isn't!

How did you know for certain that you felt baby kick?

I am assuming what Im feeling are kicks, but im not sure?

Welcome back MsDee ((((((hugs)))))). We missed you and worried about you and prayed for you.

Don't feel guilty about the sleeping meds. You don't need any more stress. Dr would never prescribe them is the risk was high.

I have bought three items for my LB. The rest has been given to me.

Just a short post as I am on my phone, but come and hide away here with us and feel our love.

Hi ladies.

Thank you for all the prayers, It was amazing that a few minutes after i posted my msg, i started feeling peaceful. My boss told me to go home. I even managed to sleep, though only after 0:00. But still i slept. Today i woke up sad but i got to work, wrote a short note on my journal to my sister and i went around the office getting anyone i could find to chat (about them!). I've been keeping busy since, just ran up the stairs from ground to 5th floor!

AFM, i lost about 3kgs in a week. Baby wasn't moving so much at some point, when i layed on my back my stomach would actually go down. Used to go to the doctor almost every 3 days to have things checked. My BP somehow stayed perfect throughout. My Dr finally decided to prescribe an anti-anxiety med just so i could sleep. & yes even after reading the warnings i did take it, i was just at a point where i thought the stress was worse on my baby than risking taking the meds. I worry and pray for my baby as i still take some sleeping pills. I don't even wanna tell anyone (incl hubby) cause should something be wrong with the baby i know what people will be thinking. Those 2 days that i didn't feel my baby move were the scariest days of my life!

I have my 4d scan on the 17th, and my next appt is on the 23rd i'm counting the hours. I wanna see my boy... Hubby is not even sure he can come on the 17th, but i'm fine with it. I need a moment alone with my boy. Even last year Nov after my sister told me she had cancer i scheduled a scan & went alone.

But enough about that. I have a confession to make. I haven't bought a single item. Not one! Luckily my sister instructed my mom (who moved in with her after we found out about the cancer) to put everything that her boy (Born in october days before they found the cancer) is no longer using aside for my child. So i have bags of clothes some of which were never even used, and other gadgets and stuff. I feel bad that i haven't really had time to be excited and go overboard for my first child & honestly still can't find the energy and strength. But i believe G_d specifically chose to bring him now, knowing all of this, for a reason.

This forum has been my escape the last few months (hence i never shared), it kept me sane. It was the only place i could come and celebrate my child in the midst of everything. And pretend all was well. So thank you to you all.

I just had to share with you all of that, now that i'm ready to re-join you guys in celebrating life. I'm ready to come hide here again and for a few moments everyday just focus on on my baby. No matter what else is going on out there...

LOL! I told hubby that he may have to do most of the shopping incl packing my bag for the hospital as i just can't right now. I have never heard/saw such panick from anyone ever in my life! I laugh everytime i think of it! Men!

Tanasha, baby will be in his cot in our room until he is big enouth to go into his brothers room. I don't have a baby room.
Ds was in his own room from 2w, but dd was with us for a while. Was much easier regards getting up at night to breastfeed!
Its a personal choice though.
