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

TaNasha - I had a shoot done on Sunday by Natasha Whiteley - she is one of my close friends www.natashawhiteley.co.za/ and gifted us the shoot.

It didnt turn out like I planned purely cos the one we booked got rained out so she squeezed me in on sunday. It was a quick shoot and I havent seen the pics yet.

I actually felt the same way - I hate pics of me on a good day and right now feel like a whale

BUT I am glad I did the shoot - I have no pics of my bumps with my other two and am sorry about it now.

Who of you have had maternity photoshoots? Would you be willing to share some photos please?

We have ours on saturday, and I dont know if I am looking forward to it. I just feel fat and dont want the photos to come out horrible.

And I wont be able to do all those nice nude belly photos because my bump is covered in ugly strecthmarks...

Cos its not his tummy being kicked to shreds

D watched in horror one night as baby kicked and my tummy moved and bulged and went mad. He couldnt comprehend it and from that day stopped commenting on my moaning about it being sore!

...

Phillipjane I actually smacked my belly the other day where I suspected his feet to be - he kicks me so dam sore sometimes. Today there has been alot more movement than yesterday so confirmation he is well and happy

Mandy - where are you? We have had the coldest most awful weather here It RAINED yesterday - in Pretoria in winter - I thought maybe my son was planning to arrive which is why the weather was so out of character. And today its over cast with an icy howling wind

oh and I actually considered unpacking my hospital bag until Monday morning cos clearly baby isnt planning anything before then but it required too much energy.

LOL PhillipaJane - maybe business is slow for her and she needs to more clients

Hi Ladies!

What a beautiful day it is! Been so pleased with the weather we have had this week past, i've been able to get my washing dry We have a tumble drier but I try to limit the amount of times I use it as electricity is so expensive...So ya, now the ironing needs to be done

Thanx Rakker for the advice, will go out and get some Corsodyl during my lunch break....the itching has stopped, lasted about a day and the bleeding has pretty much subsided, it's just when I brush my teeth that it still bleeds...yikes, had no idea gum infection can lead to premature labour - that's hectic!!!

I'm still needing to get my maternity bag packed, each day i say im going to do it, but I don't...I think, pyschologically I'm still in denial that i'm getting so close to my due date...Still stressing about how i'm going to cope with a 1 yr old and a newborn, it's giving me sleepless nights!

Laurakim I also read that the baby moves less when you on your last as their is less space now in your womb for them to move around...all that matters though is that you still feeling the baby now and then...
