August/September 2011 mommies to be

hi Girls

just quickly popping in.

all i can say is that I am now permanently uncomfortable. it seems that next week is going to be a very long week. I now totally understand why my gynae was insisting that i must go on leave by the 15th. As I was driving out of the complex to come to work, I felt that my legs were too heavy and my response time should anything happen would be too slow. So i asked DH to come drop off, shame.

the end is in sight though !

Good Morning

BoB - the evening primrose tablets are for ladies that wants to birth naturally. It softens the cervix that you are not in labour to long. So you drink 1 tablet 3times a day and then you put 2 tablets up in your vjayjay and that makes the labour shorter. The same with the rasberry leave tablets. And this time i am going to up the dosage, last actually labour was from 2 cm to birth was 5 and 1/2 hours, and I believe the above tablets had to do with it.

I am doing great - boss is away and will only be back next week Friday, so that is so nice, I want finish my hypnobirthing book, so that I can start practising

Have a great day

ha ha BoB - you are too funny

My friend who is 39 weeks 4 days pregnant (!!!) has had the aching thighs for weeks too. It's completely normal. Apparently some woman actually feel the most labour pains in their legs and not their back....but that's not common. I also get the pubic bone discomfort...it's not actually sore just a bit uncomfortable. My MW says it's a good sign...the hormone relaxin starting to do its thing and relax all the tendons and muscles around our pelvis in preparation for birth. So I try to 'enjoy' the sensation and think of it as a positive thing. Also, increased discharge is competely normal! As long as it's not smelly you should be fine

Hullo lovely ladies....

Its the final count down for som of the ladies here
I can't wait to read ur birth stories....yipeee.

Hapi,,,,woohoo for maternity leave, I'm actually quite enjoyin it now wit the DD at home, we love watchin the barbie movies on tv ...lol so u beta rest up...calm b4 the storm I say.

Hi Girls

Sorry I have been MIA, but i have been popping in everyday to read posts - i just have been so busy doing handover notes/files. I dont have any new projects but I keep on getting queries on issues that I thought were closed, which israther annoying as my mind is not at work anymore.

All is well with me & the girls. they are just heavy and Im officially going on mat leave next week friday. Im seeing my gynae every week now until the girls arrive, cant wait.

I got a lot of lovely things at the baby shower and it made it much more real.I have all the basics, I think. I need to get a sterilizer, bottle brush, medicine dispenser those sort of things but all in all im comfortable that should the girls land now, they will be set to go.

I also love it when body parts protrude onto my stomach, it is such a lovely feeling.

Love you all, sorry no time for personals... pop in again in a bit.

Good Morning

TaNasha - I do not think you have to be worried about a big baby, scans can be out. I was also waiting for this huge baby, they estimated him at 4.2kg he was born at 40w3d and weight 3.35kg.
I also used the evening primrose & rasberry leave tablets from 38 weeks, and W was born after 40 weeks, so this time I also going to start at 37 weeks, and see if she will come on or before her due date.
And yes Skai is correct, Sex is great - so if you are up to it, try it.
Nipple stimulation, but I remember you said that you are already producing colostrum, so we do not want to loose that colostrum because your body only makes so much, so rather not do that.
Then walking, so good luck

laliek - I hope you feel better today, and take is easy and do not worry about work, they will survive

Candi - hallo - you must take it easy, I see you are still taking photo's. I remember doing a wedding when I was about 30 weeks pregnant with W, I was so stiff the next day with getiing up and down the whole time.

Laliek - have you booked your maternity shoot with Joli yet??
I will do my own maternity shoot with hubbies help, but I really want her to do a baby shoot for me.

All that is having girls, have a look at this website
kidirich.health.officelive.com/Kiddierichboutique.aspx
the dresses are so cute

So i have to go and see Midwife again on Monday, I have to see them now every two weeks, I will also meet my gynie in about 3 weeks when I have to have a check up with her. I have to book my bed in 2 weeks time - I can not believe how time has flown by.

I have booked tickets for us and W to go and watch Cars 2 in 3d on Saturday, can not wait and then I will take it easy on Sunday.

I am tired and not in the mood to do anything, luckily not to busy at work, so that is great

Have a great day

Hi there ladies

Thanks for all the well wishes! Still in bed but feeling much better already. I must say I'm enjoying staying in bed but somehow still manage to feel guilty that I'm booked off work,especially since next week is my last week @ work.

Anybody heard from Hapi? It's very quiet here lately.

Tanasha very happy your results came back fine! I thought it's strange that their sending you for that test so late in pregnancy.


Everybody else hi!

Little C is very very busy. He keeps grinding what feels like little fists into my left ovary lol. When GP examined me yesterday he said C's lying low and he'll definitely engage soon. Can't believe I have 3 weeks left to meet him. It's like I already know him,he's got a few niggles the little man. I think he's closterphobic like his mom,he keeps pushing his bum out on my right hand side stomach lol, like a big knob that pushes out every few hours. I already love him sooo much - next 3 weeks should fly by!
