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

Hi ladies

A quiet Monday?

My scan went well- 31 weeks now. Gynae said that he is happy to let me carry to 41 weeks, which takes me to 6 May. Baby now weighs 1.8 kg.

Weight gain up 800g - total gain of 6 kg.

Re: Vbac, the gynae said I can go into natural birth and try, but baby may get stuck again due to the shape of my pelvis. Also he does not want me to be in labour for too long in case my scar ruptures.

So not holding my hopes too high, but at least he never ruled the vbac out. Anyway, my heart is not set on it and I don't think I will be disappointed if I have a c- section.

The scan was also great, baby was opening and closing her mouth, like she was talking away- lol

My next appointments are 14 March and then 6 April...

Tanasha - pleased that your baby is growing wellxxx
Don't stress about the weight gain- bound to pick up. I gained 18 kg in first pregnancy and everyone's journey is different.

Solo, how are you coping with BF? Did you go for the interview? Supposedly the are not allowed to discriminate against you if you are pregnant!

Aha - good luck with the Uif, are you doing it yourself? Or going through an agency?

Way past my bed time, to those still awake, sweet dreams xx

Hi mommies!

How is everyone today?

BettyF, enjoy your scan!

Lindy congrats with your pregnancy! Here is a link to the October mommies to be thread www.moomie.co.za/forum/4-pregnancy-and-b...ber-2011-mommys.html

I had a midwife appointment today and I have gained 3 kg in 4 weeks. So in total I have gained something like 7 kg already
But Baby Princess is doing perfectly well and all going according to the books!

Tshepy that is a fantastic, CUTE pic!! Clever thinking doll to go to your GP for a scan

Rakker, I hope you are feeling better today. LOL - your little honeypie has a mind of her own already Isn't it just typical!!!!

Congrats on your pregnancy Lindy! Here's to a healthy and happy pregnancy!

Good luck for your scan today Betty_F! Enjoy:) What time is it? You must please come and share...

MsDee I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It's very, very tragic and I can't believe it could actually happen Phew, my heart goes out to her family.

AFM I felt baby kick from the outside of my tummy yesterday! I put my hand on my tummy and he gave a huge kick!! Wow! Very special

Esmari – your sil is such a positive person – I’m glad they are handling things so well. I’m sure baby will be fine.
Lovely bump!!
Congrats you jummy mummy you!
And big congrats on the LB!!

Solo – sorry about your BF being such an @ss! You need to do what is best for you and babs. Good luck girl!
I say go to the interview – make your first impression, you never know!

Rakker – sorry about your 4D, the little madam.

MsDee – glad everything is fine with babs.
Sorry about your friend – that is really sad.

TaNasha – regarding the hats. My LG was born on 2nd of Jan and she wore a little beanie. They are use to their nice warm temp in the womb, coming out is a bit cold for them, so if you keep the head warm it will help to keep the rest of the body warm. Re the clothes – in hospital they dressed her in long sleeve baby grows. At home I dressed her in short sleeved baby grows. The big thing is to not over heat the baby, but don’t put baby in front of a fan either.  you will figure it out as you go along.

Tshepym – nice scan!

BettyF - enjoy your scan today.

AFM – not too much to report. Everything is still going fine. Trying to sort out my MIL, UIF and booking my 4D.

Hi ladies

Yay Esmari, wonderful news that you are having a little boy! You must be over the moon with joy.

Tschepy- wonderful sonar pics. And yes very clear compared to what my gynae gives...

Lindy congrats on your pregnancy! Enjoy the journey xx

Rakker- hope you feel better. And now baby decides to move..

I have a scan tomorrow, so looking forward to it!

Sorry guys, but with me being sick, I'm not going to do any personals at all.

You guys remember my disappointing 4D? Well this little bugger turned back sometime during the night! She is head down again. I could feel the movement felt different from what it was like yesterday and the gynae confirmed that she is head down once again. How is that for spiteful ?

Lindy, go and chat here: www.moomie.co.za/forum/4-pregnancy-and-b...ber-2011-mommys.html

And don't worry, it will pick up speed, expecially if you post there regularly. The person who started the thread must also change the topic to October and November, as that will attract more and more people.
