Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Thanks for the nice update Kiara, uare braver than me I am falling asleep as I am typing this....very very tired and also flue....will update you ladies as soon as I can

Hi ladies

Joey that goody bag sounds great!

Therese I get really back and headaches, its killing me slowly,lol. Not much anyone can do about it though

Chanz congrats on the wedding! Will invite you on FB if you can give more clarity as to which on you are

Bottles, my LG refused to drink all bottles (I breastfed for just over 11months though) we tried Tommee tippee (they are so nice), DR Browns, No name bottles and Nuk. In the end after loads of struggles she decided to only drink out of Pigeon bottles. So my advice, if you plan to breastfeed, dont spend a lot on a set of bottles.

We luckily already have a pram, just a graco one, as baby did not use it for too long. The stroller was better to go on the planes with and load into the car etc

Any of you ladies struggling with sleep? Im up on an hourly basis most nights Its really not working for me. But tummy is growing so baby is probably liking it

Have a lovely evening everyone

Hi Ladies

Sorry i have been so quiet! Ive picked up a terrible cold and have been down and out. I just wanted to comment on the headaches.......

Therese, how much water do u drink? The headaches could be De-hydration. I have had two or three headaches, and then downed two 500ml water glasses and it went away. Even though u are allowed to take panado when pregnant u should really try not to take any medication. That's just what I was told by my doc

I will give a better update on me during the weekend.

Hi everyone!

Wow it's been busy here!

Chanz, welcome back and congrats again on your wedding. Can't wait to see your pics! And I'm glad your 12 week scan went great. It's such a special time. Priceless!

Joey, the goody bag sounds great. I have to start doing everything now, I just feel like it's so early! But I'll get to it. Ooohhh... and you have a pram already! Wonderful. It sounds great. I also went to the expo, but I only got some bedding, the yoomi bottle to try out and loads of Bio-oil!

Therese, I also battle with headaches and I haven't been able to get any help with them. Drinking loads of water seems to help a bit, but I just look forward to getting home and sleeping it off.

Liz, I've heard great things about both the MAM and the Dr. Browns. The most important thing is that once baby is happy with a bottle, you have to stick to it. My friend uses the Dr. Brown but says they are a hassle to clean because of all the bits in it and her nanny is constantly looking the tiny brushes that clean the tubes that go into the bottle. It's a stunning bottle, but lots of work. I'm going for the tommee tippee. The whole works: steriliser, pump, warmer, pacifier, everything! So excited!

AFM: I'm fighting the flu right now. Work sucks and they've started monitoring internet usage, so I can't log on during the day. When I get home I'm soooooo tired and fall straight to sleep. I just had to stay awake today to just check on how you ladies are doing. I'll try to log on more often though. I miss chatting when I don't log on!

In my goody bag i got a lot. a book to learn about babies, a lulubey cd, a bottle, a dummy, samples, a blacket, a R 100 gift card and discount cards for prams and baby stuff. Trying to think what else. I was really happy with what i got.

Are you ladies going for Antenatal class, I have just booked mine and we start on the 30th cant wait

Hi there!!!

No Therese, I just have the occasional headache and backache, but I think it's more workrelated than anything else. It's just the MS....

Wow Chanz, congrats on the wedding!!!! What a nice idea to give you a wedding+baby shower, so cute!
If I may ask...what goodies did you get in the Vitality bag? We are with Discovery, but we don't have the Vitality option. DH said it's unnecessary. MEN!!!

Hi Joey!!

I have super bad headache. and pando's dont help as the doctor for something else but he wont give me anything. Try a cold pack it some times only some time helps.

Everyone has told me the headaches only get worse.
