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

Hi ladies,

Tshepy good luck with the lbp, i hope it works out.

Betty We found out Esme means "beloved", but that was after we picked the name!

I have booked a 4D scan for when Im in jhb for my mom to come with, looking forward to it!

Will you keep the baby in your room? Or will they sleep alone in their cots from day 1?

DH's cousin wanted to give me a moses basket which has been in the family for lots of years to use in our bedroom. Are you supposed to keep the baby in your room?

Thank you Rakker I will keep an eye on it like a hawk,how I hate complications during pregnancy. My scan is on tuesday but if it goes below this I will make an emergency consultation.your advise is highly appreciated

Rakker - I am very excited as I am sure you are I know exactly how you feel about getting in as much salary as possible before LO is here - its very stressful. I do get tired but really hate complaining coz I desperately wanted this pregnancy

Solo - they obviously follow a standard run through of everything

Hi tshepy. That reading is on the border. They say anything under 90/60 is low BP. But if it is much lower than your normal BP, it will make you feel worse, even if it is still regarded as normal. Not sure about the symptoms, but know feeling dizzy and tired are the common signs. You can up your salt intake for a quick fix. Marmite / Bovril in hot water and drink it like a soup. Or tomatoe with some salt on also does the trick. A packet of salt and vinegar once got my BP up .

Hello ladies

Just a quick one as I am posting from a phone, anyone know the reading of a low blood pressure my readings are on 90/60 most of the time and I most of the time feel slight headache and sore eyes. Is this an indication of lbp anyone with info please help a worried lady.

Thanks
T

Ok, al 4 cakes done and in the freezer. Tomorrow dh has to help me get them level. No crooked cake allowed. Hehe. Have to get one ice cream cone for the tower.

Rakker, I don't think her being prem was medical. My son was born at 39w. With her birth it was a very stressfull time, as he was in hospital with gastro, and I went into labor later that same day. My ob is going to put me on meds to help prevent it, and also want me to abstain the last trimester.

Solo, Im so glad she's not in school yet. Hehe. Told her she is a big girl now. And one of these days she is not the baby anymore, and going to be a big sis! She looks chuffed with that.

Claire I'm going to Hanri at Bumps and Babes in Krugersdorp. I agree, I do believe the last few weeks are going to be very beneficial. Oh I forgot she did stress...Kegel, Kegel and more Kegel!!!!! And Honey to stay away from honey as it has some live organisms that are harmful to baby.
