August/September 2011 mommies to be

Hi ladies, a quicky reply from me straight from the labour ward at Parklands Hosp
.....Yup I went into pre term labour yest, n been admitted to stop the contractions.
They have been givin me pain meds n steroids for babys lungs.

Please pray for me an my little boy.

hehehe Skai.

I can relate, Bee (twin at the bottom) was so cooperative at last week's scan - I always say she is the cheecky one and Teddy who is always chilled and having the best Kodak moments just looked into my pelvis and wouldnt budge ... acting all shy

Glad the movements are a bit stronger, it gives that comforting feeling that he is growing well.

Hi Guys,

Sorry I've been a little scarce.

BoB: I'm sorry you are feeling stressed...but I'm sure you'll actually carry longer than you think. Just think of it as a good thing that he's facing the right way etc. My friends baby was born at 36 weeks (just 3 weeks ago) and didn't spend any extra time in hospital. He's doing great - happily breastfeeding etc. So try not to worry too much and just take it as easy as possible.

Hapi - that sound super scary! Oh my word! Glad it wasn't anything serious though. Also take it easy...

Ankia - You're doing so well with your gyming and yoga! I know it's horrible going out in cold weather but you know you'll feel great after you've been! I have been particularly lazy recently...tsk tsk Glad A is doing well and growing on track!

Tracey - (wave) Hope works going ok!

Gabi - so sorry to hear you are so sick! Are you back home yet?

Candi - hope you are doing ok. Thinking of you...

Naz - nice to hear from you...been ages! Hope you well!

Afm, I think I jinxed myself the other day when i said this little guy seems super chilled. The very next day his movement started getting noticeably stronger! Still not enough to keep me awake at night or anything but definitely getting more vigourous! Loving it!

Wow Ankies, how I wish I were you ! you are so disciplined about going to gym.

Good Afternoon

Wow hapi, what a scare that must have been.
but yes take is easy and look after yourself and the tweenies

Going great today, toes are freezing, but the rest of the body is nice and warm
A is doing great, i feel her more and more everyday and I am sure I had a few BH (braxton Hicks) last night, tummy go hard, but not sore and then relaxes again, I was about to time them but they went away - Hehe

Otherwise I've got yoga tonight, but just not looking forward to freezing - i have no long gym pants - so I wear my short ones and my legs get very cold

have a great day

Hi Girls

Trust that everyone is doing great.

BoB, try not stress yourself out - the ladies have said it, it is probably just doctor being cautious. I for one know of many women who have delivered a couple of weeks to a month before their edd's and their babies did not have to spend any additional time in hospital.
Strongs.

As for me - well, on monday I was sitting in a workshop and suddenly I was struggling to breath and my vision became blurry. I kept on feeling hot and cold at the same time. I was convinced that I am dying. DH came to fetch me and took me to the Doc. He had a good chuckle and apologised for not making me aware but apparently it is normal and with multiples it can be more intense. He did say that if it gets worse I must let him know so that he can investigate it further. He ordered me to take things easy otherwise I might be facing bed rest.

Shoo,talk about a scare !

Hi Everyone

Hope you're all keeping well.

BoB: Everyone I've spoken to says that no two pregnancies are the same, my husbands mother had labour pains with her first child, but with her second pregnancy she didn't even know she was in labour, she happened to have a doctor's appointment and the doctor told her that she was 5cm dilated. And other women I've spoken to often say "with my first pregnancy ..., but with my second pregnancy ...". So I think your doctor is just being cautious, don't stress about it

Cheers for now
Got Vat due today, super busy at work.
