August/September 2011 mommies to be

Hi ladies

Hope all is well? It's very quiet here lately.

Cameron and I are doing well, I'm just feeling a bit down today. My lochia (post partum bleeding) stopped last week and I had spotting for the past few days then yesterday evening I started bleeding again - not too heavy but quite a bit. Phoned doc and he said it's normal but I need to be take it easier as I've been a bit too busy. If it gets heavier I need to phone him. So today I'm on my butt in front of the tv and dh is playing waiter . Feel a bit off and not myself.

Candi how was the wedding? Aren't you being induced today?

Ankies what do you still need for Anrika?

Good Morning

So Candi - please come tell all about your wedding, can not wait to hear

Did some shopping, and got alot of stuff, now I wonder when my baby shower will be so that I can start packing my LG stuff - and get it washed.

I am doing fine, sussa is not to busy, but I get her moving a few times per day

Have a great day

Good Morning

TaNasha, you LG is very cute, and do not worry about the breastfeeding, you are giving her love and that is what she needs from you. Congrats again on her birth, and thanks for posting your birth story, you did so well.

So I went for a little refresher course on birthing on Saturday, but it was not worth the money we paid for it, but it was oraait.
Yesterday we had a good day at my brothers house, today I am at work and then tomorrow, we are going to get some stuff for my bag for the clinic, I have to start with it sometime.

I am 34 weeks today, can not believe it.

Candi - good luck with your wedding today - I hope you have a great day!!!!!

Have a great day

Hi TaNasha! So glad things are going so well! And don't feel guilty about the formula - you have made the best decision for you and your family and as you say - you get to spend the time enjoying your precious little girl! Going to go read your birth story now Looking forward to some pics! Xx

Hi ladies,

Just quickly popping in.

I am finally part of the mommy club! I have posted my birth story in the birth story section.

We are both doing well and we're finally home. Esmé is gorgeous, the cleft lip is not as bad as I though it would be and I offcourse think she is the most beautiful girl in the world! Unfortunatly her palate is also affected, so feeding is abit difficult but we are getting the hang of it. I am not breastfeeding though, I expressed while I was still in hospital but at the moment it takes about an hour to feed her with her special bottle and if I would still be expressing I would be busy with only feeding and expressing all day, so we have switched to forumal. I feel abit guilty but at least this way I wont be stressed and it gives me more time to enjoy her.

Happy friday ladies! this thread is very quiet!

Congrats Laliek on the breastfeeding - yes it's tough at first but once you get going it's very easy and convenient. Will go and read all about your birth story shortly.
I am hoping to breastfeed as well this time.

I went to see my gynae on Tues - and guess what - baby STILL hasn't turned
I am seeing her again in 2 weeks then we need to decide what we are going to do. I asked her about turning the baby - she said that we will discuss, but she won't consider it before 38 wks as it can cause your LO to go into distress and then you need an emergency c-sec and she doesn't want to have to deliver before 38wks.

I am feeling very heavy and extremely sore, and as much as i wish i had more time to sort my life out in terms of the moving and work etc, I wish baby could be born already so that I don't have to be comfortable again. But they are still working on the house we are supposed to be moving into, there is still much to be done and there is no way it's going to be ready even in 3 weeks' time.
I was so emo last night because I just wanted everything to be ready before baby and now everything is a rush job so it's not being done to my satisfaction

I am working up until 19 Aug - I will be 37 weeks then - but I am really hoping that baby doesn't come before then. I can't even begin to describe how sore my body is.

Good Morning

Laliek - it sounds like you have an amazing experience.
Congrats again

I am doing fine, I am so glad it is weekend. Have alot to do this weekend, so no time for rest

Have a great day
