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

Hi Ladies.

@Phillipajane&Laurakim, sorry to jump in but what's the story with coke and milk production? I seem to have missed it (tried going back to previous posts). Is there a way to increase milk production? I could really use some advice as Ayanda doesn't seem to be getting full from being breastfed alone.

@TaNasha, are you going for natural birth?

@Kanyo, Yay! on the baby shower!

@Sunrise, nice hearing from you & glad your still going strong. Keep us posted on Friday about the twins.

@Laurakim, That does sound like a rough night. Hope he settles well tonight.

@Phillipajane, I only bought the Telament gripe water. Do you know what makes the colic drops different from the gripe water? Ayanda is struggling a bit with gas cause he doesn't burp after feeds. I've tried burping him but it doesn't seem to work.

AFM, Finally feel like i'm going back to being my old self again. I went and did a bit of shopping and didn't call home once to check on the baby! Finally had a good look in the mirror, everything is back to normal except for the few stretch marks. It only took a week for me to get back to my normal weight but my stomach was wobbly now it's almost as hard as it used to be but, it's already flat! Can't wait to get back to my yoga.

Only a few of us left to go! I take it everyone else who hasn't popped yet is on ML already?

Hi ladies!

Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday!

Solo it is getting so close now! Good luck for tomorrow and you will be 100% fine and you will be a fabulous mommy!

Sunrise, it is also getting so close for you now! Friday is just a few days away!

Thamu hope things start happening soon! Im notf rom CT so i dont know any photographers but I think CandiBez is based in CT, she chats on the August/September thread, so maybe check with her?

MsDee Glad things are going well and cant wait to see some photos!

Kanyo Glad you had a nice babyshower. Enjoy using the vouchers.

Karien I saw those different cries at a baby expo earlier this year, very interesting!

So no news from me, I am just waddling along. everyone keeps commenting on how huge my bump is. I have no back pain or swollen feet yet, so i hope that all stays away!

Phillipa - can bf moms have coke? I am DYING for some coke zero but have been worried about the bubbles?

We had a bit of a rough night with Jack Not sure if its wind or a growth spurt but he took ages to settle last night - eventually went down around 21h00 (usually goes down between 19h30 - 20h00) and woke just after midnight - which is fine but had a restless sleep until 3h15 and then screamed on and off until 5 - fell asleep and we had to wake him at 9 to feed!

Doesnt sound that bad when I write it down but I am exhausted this morning - he usually sleeps well and doesnt cry like he did last night!

Hey moomies,

Sorry for being MIA really having problems with my home internet so today I just pop-in using my cellphone.
Sorry no personals but I can see my friend Solo will be having a C-section on Nonday. Wow I know you gonna be a good mom make sure you enjoy urself for the last time today before baba comes tomorrow. All the best my pumpkin.

AFM: I'm really huge now I've gained 16kg n my tummy is soooo huge. Twins will be here next week Friday I'm so happy n scared but I can't wait to hold them.

I was wondering yesterday what should I use for family planning coz I really don't wanna fall pregnant now. Before planning for my first baby I was using Evra patch so I'm not sure it's ok to use it when breastfeeding. Anyway will try 2ask my dr.

All the best to the mommies who r still waiting for their babas n dose who r mommies already enjoooooy!!!

Love u all!!!

Thanks MsDee i have passed my EDD it was on Thursday and now am on week 41, and have been told that if this week ends then Friday its ceaser. Thats what i am all fighting within myself and now i hear movements and think labour has begun but well it wouldnt have. How did you manage the wait, i think i would have been fine if i didnt have this Friday deadline on my neck its made me anxious. I wish i was where you are negotiating the milk schedules, you go girl

@Kanyo lucky you i am glad you got a surprise and all the best.
