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

Hi ladies, i got my BFP today at 14PO!!! so i would like to join you, if i may offcourse!

It still hasnt completely sunk in, but me and DH are over the moon with joy!

Esmari LOL@ your DH hahaha crazy....

I'm loosing weight instead of gaining I lost 1kg so far. And I'm taking Pregnativ


Karien- Ja I think it does help I just had grapes I still feel naar but its not as bad as this morning.
mmh....Karien I can't wait for that stage where I would just enjoy my pregnancy you lucky fish.

Niknaks lol..thanks for the sympathy, very weird I'm loosing weight but maybe it's because it still a first trimester.

Niknaks, I think 2.5kg is ok for 14 wks! I also picked up 15 with my son, but not to many with my daughter.

Niknaks - Ocean basket has sushi that is veg only - its the bonsai platter if memory is correct... I enjoyed it so mucha dn no raw fish lol. my baba is so low I have to go buy maternity pants the end of the month - lol.

Sue - its ecotrin (available over the counter and 30 rand ) and then once heartbeat was found clexane til 36 weeks.

Karien - you are going to love your scan

Sunrise - I hope the ms is better?

MsDee - good luck for exams you will feel a weight lifted once you are finished

Phillipa - my gynae has set me a c-section date due to previous surgery and complications (27 April) already so decision made (her first grand child is being born so away til 25th) luckily my medical aid covers elective c-sections.

Good morning girls!

I'll try keep up today, I miss too much if I only log on in the evenings!

Hope you all had fabulous weekends.

Sunrise, I know how you feel wishing for it because then at least you know everything is fine... so essentially, all is fine, which is a good sign hehe. But I know it's bad, and I can imagine it's twice as bad with twins but "they" say that the ms is SUPPOSED to get better at 9 weeks. Mind you, with this pregnancy, it actually went away at 9 weeks. Shame, but you have all my sympathy.

Esmari, I've picked up 2.5 kgs. I don't know if it's little or a lot, but this time round I'm trying not to pig out as much as I did last time. With Kaitlyn I picked up 20 kilograms and I battled for a year to get rid of the last 3 or 4. I guess it's easy not to pig out in the first trimester, but oi once that nausea goes away, everything looks, sounds and smells heavenly.

I'm craving california rolls so badly, no one understands. On SABC 3 last Saturday they had a documentary on Wasabi (the green burny stuff that comes with the sushi) and since then I feel like I'm going nuts every time I think of california rolls.... droooool. I asked my gynae and she said it doesn't have raw fish in it, so it should be fine in moderation. It's our anniversary on Thursday so guess what I'm going to eat

Karienh, you have my utmost respect going to a concert, standing on your feet all night AND staying awake! You go! So glad you enjoyed it. can't wait to hear about your 12 week scan, it really is amazing seeing that fully-formed human being so early on in a pregnancy.

AFM, aside from the california roll thing, I am on holiday now till January, and relatively bored. My jeans are seriously getting tight around my flanks (hip/ butt area). I can't imagine that, even with the yummy mummy tummy, I'd be able to wear my jeans right through to the end. I'll have to contemplate taking out the maternity clothes

My boobs are now even more sore than ever before. Weird. When I take my bra off at night I want to diiiiiiiiiiie. I thought it's supposed to get better now

Hi Everyone - Hope you all had a great weekend!

MsDee, in theory I walk and do yoga, but in practice I've been too sick and tired to do anything. I'm feeling better but have sooo much work right now. I hope to really start my exercises middle of next week. Do you only do yoga?

Sunrise, I glad you finally have MS, at least while you feel that sick you know everything is fine. But good luck, I hope you find the magic thing that makes you feel better. Fruit worked a bit for me, but I still felt nauseous.

Esmari- lol about your DH wanting to know your size. Mine is so big and finally not sensitive anymore so my DH thinks he's in heaven.

AFM - I'm feeling better and better everyday! I'm starting to really get excited and to enjoy my pregnancy. Now I just can't wait to feel the first movement, although I'll have to wait a bit yet.

The Thirity Seconds to Mars concert was AMAZING and I stayed awake and on my feet through all of it. I was wasted for the rest of the weekend though.

Wednesday afternoon we're going for the big 12 week scan. I'm not too worried, but really hopes that everything is fine. And I can't wait to see my baby again.

Have a good Monday!

Morning all.

Rakker, I think maybe mine is also due to me not having my coffee! I only drink one cup when I wake up, then I drink rooibos the whole day. Headaces better now.

MsDee, I am gonna skip the exercise till after my first scan, as the say women who had mc or premature birth should consult with their doc first. And I had both.

Philipajane. No one person is the same. My grandmother pushed out 7 and my mom 3, and I had 2 sections. So there is hope for you!

Sunrise, what vitamins do you use? Since I started mine the ms is way better! Still there, but not as intence.

5w on the dot today. And 4 more to go before my scan. Damn.

Oh, dh keeps asking me: Are they bigger yet?....... He is not allowed to touch. Its too sore!

How is everyone doing weight wise? Although I have been pigging out the past week, I am still the same.
