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

morning girls!

I've been scarce... and too busy and too tired. Really, I thought the tiredness would have gone by now, but it seems like it's worse now than it was a few weeks ago.

Tanz sorry to hear about the bleeding, but also glad to hear it's not bright red, so that's definitely a positive thing Apparently it is quite common to bleed during the first trimester.

karien if you get a yummy mummy tummy belt please let me know where you find it, even if we are on opposite ends of the earth. I need to buy one. none of my pants fit and maternity pants are (come on, say it with me now) diiiiiiiiisgusting.

Shame, philipajane you have my sympathies. Hopefully the ms will give you a break soon. Have you tried Sparkles They really work, apparently has to do with producing a lot of saliva in your mouth etc etc.

Sunrise I also heard about drinking lots of water to stop the bloating... maybe there is some truth in it then?

Claire, may your kitten make a speedy recovery . What is wrong with her? shame poor thing.

Solo, those waves of nausea are the absolute worst. I used to find that when I got home I'd feel instantly sick - being at home reminds me of morning sickness. But take heart, it should ease soon! And believe it not, time really does fly

Weeskind, so glad you and dh could decide together what's best for you. Your baby is also going to reap the benefits of having a relaxed mommy!

AFM, I've been applying for lecturing jobs (ha ha)... but I'll leave it in God's hands. DH is adamant about me getting a job and I'm tired of being at the school so we shall see what happens. I'm not going to stress, one way or the other.

Anyone going away for Christmas? I'm going away with the in-laws, and while I'm mad about my MIL, 16 days is a bit long... and it's going to be my SIL, her husband and 2 kids PLUS step family of theirs too.... good grief. I am so desperate not to go, I sent out my cv as "available to work in december"

have a good day!

Thanks phillipjane and clairec - I know about those belts and wanted to get one and then just completely forgot about them somewhere during the past month - must be my preggie brain. Will def get one soon.

Good luck phillipajane - how you feel better soon.

I really should drink more water Sunrise - will let you know if it helps.

Karian somebody said I should drink lot of water that would help with bloated stomach.

Solo you lucky, I can't wait to have those symptoms LOL...I know it sounds crazy.

Phil shame hun, people say toasted bread is better if you having MS.

Do we have any mom in this group who's having twins/trips???

...

...

Claire I hope your kitty gets better shame poor thing.

Phillipane Is it MS?

Karien - the yummy mummy tummy. its a elasticated band of material that covers the button area of your pants so you can wear your normal clothes for longer and it looks quite nice. their website is www.yummymummytummy.co.za :) hope that helps :)

Solo - thanks I am sure she is ok - I just worry so much.

Aw phillipajane - sorry you are battling so much with MS - it will soon disappear.
