August/September 2011 mommies to be

Got a message now from Gabi, she's been struggling to get on the forum.. but been reading all the mails that come thru to her... she can't log on... but she sends all her love and congrats to all the new mommies

Hi Everyone!

What an exciting week it has been for our little group Congrats to all the ladies with the birth of their babies!!

Tracey, you can also try acupuncture to help baby turn - I've been going for acu since the start of my pregnancy for sinusitis as I had to stop my regular meds and the therapist has kept me sinus-free So, it definitely does work!

Well, on my side I'm doing OK, wasn't all that well yesterday - went for the gestational diabetes (GD) test yesterday and it was awful I never had morning sickness, and let me tell you, I probably felt the most horrible nausea that I've felt during my entire pregnancy yesterday thanks to the vile glucose drink It was a real case of mind over matter to stop myself from getting sick, because if you do get sick, they stop the entire test and you have to go back on another day to start all over again. And, sitting at Pathcare for 4hrs was also not the most fun thing to do... Sorry for the vent, but I felt so horrible last night. Anyway, today I'm feeling a little better, still waiting for results, but I'm pretty sure all will be fine as the test was really more precautionary than anything else.

Tomorrow we have our 2nd antenatal class and in the afternoon it is my baby shower. Also put in my leave form today for maternity leave. We get 6months @ 75%, so I'm planning to go off from September and will then be back in office 1 March. I can feel everything winding down on my side, so at least I can possibly have a few less stressful weeks at work before I go on ML.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend

Candi - you make me laugh - I can not sing, so I do not sing.
Try to play a lullaby cd to my LG when I am driving, but the radio have seen better days.

Just got an sms from Hapi
She has been discharged, and they started the twins on bottle feeding, they are doing very well (They must learn to suckle before they can be discharged). She is also expressing and that is also going very well.

Out of curiosity.... have you got a little song you sing to your LB/LG while they still in your tummy or now that they have entered the world??

I always land up singing: Mama's & Pappa's : Dream a little dream of me
&
Adele's : Make you feel my love...
&
Brandi Carlile: The Story.... [thanks to Grey's i listen to that song every day]


just completely a different subject to the norm

LOL

The evening primrose 1000mg are fine
Take 1 tablet 3 times per day - by mouth - you can up this dose to 2 tablets 3 times a day in a weeks time
Then put 1 in you vjajay when you go to bed
you can up this dose to 2 in a weeks time
(do not cut the ends off or anything - it will just disolve)
If it is messy just use some of your lady products to protect your underwear and clothes

Then rasberry leave tablets, take 2 tablets 3 times a day by mouth

It is so nice of your parents visiting, I am sure you miss them alot

Popping in quick to say howdey ladies

Laliek your LB is just tooo gorgeous

BoB your's too!!! And Hapi, my heart goes to you, it takes a strong lady to visit her little ones in hospital and not be able to take them home with you. HUGS!

Tracey & Naz, lets hope those little critters stop with the gymnastics and sit properly in the corner and get ready to enter the world.

Skai, glad all is good

TaNasha, how you doing today babe??

Ankia, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR UPDATES! You Rock How you feeling??
Ok, I've got the evening primrose tabs and raspberry leave tabs... the evening primrose ones are the 1000mg... is that gonna be a problem?
What / when are they supposed to be taken?? This is all new to me, hence the same questions all the time LOL...

AFM: Sitting with period pain, and really really struggle to get up in the mornings And the feet are still soooo poofy... HOPEFULLY - This time next week, my man is on a plane home or home already whooooo hoooooo!!!

So besides being house bound... and baking... everything is alright i say... My folks are coming to visit and my mom is soooo stoked she's coming with me to the doc on monday... first time Granny too

Laliek's LB



Good Morning

So i went to the doc and no she did not do a scan, so I am a bit dissapointed.
But all is well, and according to her scale i lost 1.2kg, but i do not think that is true, will see what the midwife's scale say when I go there again.
A is doing fine, I just have to get her to move more often, she is a very chilled LG and I have to wake her often to get her to move.

Naz & Tracey, sorry your LO's are not playing with, but I am sure they will still turn.

Hi Skai

Have a great day
