Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

oh my this is so disgusting when it's so big hahaha

ok can't do two here is the other one

ok I don't know how to download more than one pic at a time but I'm going to try....let me know what you ladies think.

Skitterling o my gosh!!!!! That is SO clear!!! Where did u buy that test from??

The one I bought was from Clicks and it looks different. I'm not home now but when I get home I'll take a pic and post it.

Lindy, this was my gender test



Post a photo if you can? I also love mayo....was getting worried here,lol. Also ate McD soft serve like crazy my first time around although I shouldnt have

Skitterling, shame I can imagine you must have your hands full, I'm glad your doc is so thorough! thank you so much for checking on the mayo cause I Love Love LOOOOOVEEEEE!!!! Mayo!

I also think people just wanna keep us away from all the good stuff....I really could "kill" for some yummy fatty biltong right about now!!

Liz about the pregnancy vitamins I was using pregnacare but it was making me very very sick i am now taking MaxiVit Plus and it seems to be ok for now...I would also like to try the PregOmega Plus as I also heard it is the best vitamin it's just that I bought some mumomega in bulk before we were pregnant so I don't wanna waste those they are very expensive. Just for now I want to make sure I get the vitamins in at least.

for those ladies that did the urine gender test was your result clear?? I am so confused by mine one minute it looks amber and the next it looks green...... I really can't tell the difference....so that was a good waste of 200 bucks! Plus at the moment I'm also hoping for a boy my DH didn't look very impressed when I said it looks green.... he keeps telling me he doesn't care if it's a boy or girl but at the moment I'm convince that he wants a boy.....although as long as the baby is healthy I don't care about the gender if it's a girl then he's just gonna have to deal with that.

chanz I agree with you it has been chilly here in kzn me snuggly and warms under the blanket at the moment.

chat soon enjoy the rest of your weekend

Hello Ladies

So nice to see that everyone is doing well. Except for the odd niggly bits

Mariet, glad the cramps is nothing serious. UTI is not nice but at least we know its common during pregnancy and luckily treatable

Gracious I agree with the ladies, rooibos is very good for you and baby. I also restrict myself to one cup of coffee a day. And I only drink decaf coffee and decaf five roses. Milo is also really nice lately lol preg hormones.

Liz you asked about vitamins. I am using Pregomega Plus. Apparently its the best preg vitamin. But as long as we use some form of preg vitamin, we are fine.
