Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Lourina - ek is seker jy is reg. Ek het van die begin af geweet ek gaan 'n seuntjie hê, hoewel ek voor my swangerskap gedink het ek sal altyd dogtertjies hê. So....gaan met jou gut feeling!! O ja, en probeer maar die camphor cream, my vel is net so droog, ek het my oor die naweek ook so stukkend gekrap oor die boobs. Dis veral dit, my maag en rug wat so jeuk.

Hahaha, Lizel, ek het so oor die pram gevoel, ek het eers gedink hulle het vir ons 'n "dud" gegee!

Claire - You're stressing about 7kg's???? Goodness woman, I've picked up 13kg's so far......Eeeeeeeeek! But I don't mind really, I'm enjoying this journey.
I'm glad that baby is healthy and growing!!! Aaaaaw man, must be soooo cute to see baby with stretched legs and feet crossed....

Chanz, I'm completely with you on the "not feeling sexy part". Also lost my libido along the way somewhere. It is just such a mission to shave my legs, and to top it all off, I suddenly have lots of little hair growing all over on my stomach etc.

Elrike - daai foto's is ongelooflik mooi. Luwan is 'n regte klein hartebreker! Te pragtig!

Hi Gracious!!! Hope it gets warmer soon so that you can wear your sexy dresses!! Send us some pics! I also went to Foschini in Tygervalley, but my feet were so sore, I didn't have any energy to find something my size. I'll maybe go on Saturday to our local Foschini, maybe I can find something there. I just love Mr Price's maternity clothes! Oh, and no, I don't have a clue what you can do about the gas...... I have the same problem. I just stand up, walk out of the office into the open air....and release! Too much info!

I saw Pick&Pay have a few good baby specials on at the moment, definately going there tonight to see what I can find. The P&P brand nappies is also on special. They also have a Tommee Tippee sterilizer for R230, hope our P&P have some of those in stock!

Hope you feel better soon, Lizel. 3.5 is amazing! You are doing so well! I have put on a lot the last few days.

Elrike, I love that pic of your boy! Can't believe how grown up he looks.

Lourina - I was also very itchy. Found the only thing that worked was omega 3 oil. I take 3 tablets a day, and try to remember to drink lots of water. No more itching. Also avoid hot baths/showers and wear loose clothing. It might be the material on your bra, so maybe get a few cotton ones?

My friend is in labor! So exciting! Can't wait to hear that her baby has been born!

Hi Ladies

I dont feel great have flu or something

Welcome Lourina, and stick with your feeling. I knew deep down I am having another girl and was right

Elrike, lyk of Luwan a great daggie gehad het.


Liz, we struggled for hours to try and put up the camping cot, thought it was broken but we just did it wrong

Joey, how was the scan?

Chanz, yay on only 4 weeks but I think baba is going to be longer in there which is great news.

Claire, 7 kg not so bad at all I gained so far 3.5 kg and still eating like a pig

My LG is sleeping bad so I am dead tired and was so late this morning it was not even funny, she would not let go of me. She always tells me to go but this morning it was another story

sorry about the scratching, i hope u dont smell like old lady lol, i know what u mean.
i use bio oil n so far i have no skin problem but camphor is a must for me during winter it keeps my skin moist n glowing. n i use it whenever i feel dry.

Hi Gracious
I looked at myself last night in the shower and was shocked to see that I scratched myself sooo badly you could see blood peeping through the skin. Gonna try camphor cream and if I smell like an old lady then too bad.........Thanks Hun

Hi Claire
I will upload the one's I do have, but the doctor did not give me any pics to say that it is a little boy. Not that I mind, as long as it is healthy, but every mom wants a little girl I suppose. Next time when I go to the doc on the 15th of August I am going to ask him for a toilet shot and he better give me one otherwise...........and yeah I would also love to see what he is seeing....hahaha. I might be wrong ladies but deep inside I feel different than with the two boys pregnancies. Strange but true.

my stomach is always full of air; i release now n when i sit down i can feel there is air that needs tobe released again. its getting annoying now. is there anything i can do?
