Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

we r not going to find out about the sex until the baby is born. i hope we dont get curious as we go to the scan, it can b very tempting.

i do crave for powerade sometimes but never drank it n i do crave for biltong which is a big no for preggas. today i am craving for chicken licken something i dont nornally eat.

Hi everyone

Welcome Gracious and Lizel

Lindy, I did not go for classes, but was very involved in my lil sis when she was born and looked after kids and babies a lot, really did not need it actually.

Liz, I personally feel everything in moderation is fine, you do need to satisfy your cravings

Elrike, so exciting to see the gender not so long to wait anymore

Mariet, please come and share some pics if you can

Chanz, sounds like you are super prepared for anything!

AFM, doing well, baby was so active today and moved every time I went to sit down. Not sleeping well but at least I can have naps with my LG in the afternoon. Counting the days till the next scan and loving it to lie in bed and listen to LO's heartbeat every night

Have a lovely evening everyone
Someone asked about the gender tests? I used one and the results came back boy and it was right. Another lasy I know used it too and hers also said boy but scan confirmed a girl today, so it stays a 50/50 chance.

Hi Ladies,

Thanks Mariet I will def sign up for it then.

Hey Elrike happy to hear you are feeling better!!

Hi Gracious welcome!

and thank you to all the ladies for the great feedback on the classes, I am definitely going to sign up for them.

as for the powerade Liz I'm not sure either but I wouldn't take a chance allot of those drinks have tons of caffeine in them. Maybe just phone your doc's office and ask the nurse.

AFM I am doing great....hardly had any symptoms at all and as you all can imagine it's been sending me into a crazy frenzy! cause even though it was not nice it was nice to know that baba was ok...so u can imagine I am counting the hours till my appointment on Wednesday!

Hi Gracious!
Welcome! You just persuaded me to look into those antenatal classes...... I'll need all the help I can get, especially with the BF part....

Elrike - glad your feeling better!! I also have an appointment the 1st!!! Something to look forward to, hey?

hi

i am also a Nov mommy to b. i would like to join you. i hav been following the thread for quet some time now.

we did antenatal classes with our 1st baby but stopped before the classes were over. i was lazy to go n unfortunally the next class i would hav attended was breast feeding n i just thought that comes natural n didnt bother by going n guess what i struggled so much as i couldnt latch the baby properly n my nipples cracked, it was so bad n sore n painful.

as for the powerrade i dont know.

Hi you all!
What a busy weekend, but with no ms... But last night is was again. Luckily no running just the feeling! Me and Luwan is better. I'm almost 100% - Luwan's nose is still running, but will clear up soon I think!

About the antenatal classes - it is a must for the first baby. They teach you about all the ins and outs. From Birth till toddler years! Showed us video's on natural, c-sec, and water birth! Showed us how to bath the baby, to change nappies, burping. It helped alot! I might go again just for a refresher with the second one!

Don't stock up on nappies - the better thing is to safe the money every month for nappies! Luwan had an allergic reaction to Pampers and I only could use huggies! He started to use pampers no about 3 months ago, because the huggies was not working any longer!

Can't wait for my appointment the 1st! Hope to see the gender!! Think as soon as I know the gender I might start to look at byby stuff. I haven't even once looked at anything for this LO. Think it is because, I have most of the stuff already.

Hopw you all have a great day!!! Want to go to Toys R us to get my goodie bag!!! Just got my email from Discovery!!

Toodles!

Good morning ladies!!!

Hope you all had a stunning weekend?

Thanks Chanz, I'll speak to DH today and see if we can't join Vitality, it's really not that much more per month.
So glad that ur happy with your dr!! In the end that is one of the most important factors.

The only bad think about the antenatal classes is that they don't have them here in our town. So we have to drive 88km's for a class. We'll maybe go for 1 or 2 (maybe 3....)

I've bought a few packs of diapers, mostly Huggies Dry Comfort, but I'll save some money rather from now.

What do you ladies think about Powerade? I have a constant craving for it, and it seems to take the MS away. Do you think it's bad for LO??
