Dec 2011/ Jan 2012 Mommies to be !!

Mandy that is such sad news re: gynae!! What a horrible time for him and his family....so good that he is being strong and positive...we'll pray that he'll beat this.

I am so glad your scan went well! Its such an amazing blessing! Scary re: meds, but I know you'll take them and your bean will be just fine and perfect:-)

Just concerned though...am I the only one that still feels this is a bit surreal? With Addison I heard the heartbeat and right there I was sold...inlove. This time is a bit different. I totally want to be pregnant and cant wait to feel kicks and have a boep and the actual baby...but for now it still hasnt quite sunk in?? I dont know why....

Got so sick at work again...shame one of my colleagues ran to offer me water and asked if she needed to call the receptionist...lol. To do what for me I dont know! I feel horrible complaining ALL THE TIME ABOUT MS....the only nice thing is I know the bean is still doing good in there!

Need to switch to vomifene now that doc gave me script for. I finished a whole container of asic and didnt do much for me.

HI gals

I was sitting in the gynae waiting room and i thought to myself, finally.... its my turn.. it just felt like a long wait to see if baby is there and okay and for me to confirm i am ACTUALLY doing this!!

so there I was , and I could finally see MY blob!! so awesome..and i really do feel blessed. Strong hearbeat 174 beats - too stunning to hear and the little bean is 1.2cm teeeny tiny!

According to the size, I am about 7.5 weeks not 8 as we thought, so it pushes my due date to 9 Jan..

Due to my slightly high glucose and insulin levels, my gynae warned that if I miss my meds, the baby can miscarry!!!! so until 12 weeks, to be extra vigilant and after 12 weeks the baby will be viable enough to cope without the meds EEEk, little bit scarey, but I have been taking them everyday twice a day and will just make sure that i do!! so feeling very happy today!

Sad sad sad news is that my gynae is not doing so well. The receptionist told me when we were alone ( my appointment was 45 minutes late) so he has TERMINAL cancer.. in both lungs and the receptionist says the doctors prognosis is not good... I did NOT have the heart to even ask if that means I will need another gynae for the birth!! but time will tell and there are at least 2 other gynaes at the same hospital that i could consider, so more than anything, I felt DEVASTATED for him. My doctor LOOKS well, he is only in his late 40s or early 50s and has FOUR children of which the youngest is 10.. so its really a sad thing. Luckily the receptionist says he refuses to believe that its terminal and is doing anything and everything in his power to fight it.. however, she did say that his family who live overseas are all coming over individually to spend time with him, so that didnt sound good... and this all started when i asked if he goes away for holidays every year, and she responded, well no, i dont think this year... but!!!

Any hoo - Next scan is 1 June so lets get excited!

Morning ladies

Queasy and cold this side of the world!

Nelia...yes I would also describe it as a menstrual cramp...its doesnt last long though. Literally a twinge and its gone. Hopefully seeing as both of us are getting it, it means it's 'normal'??? Will ask Gynae on Thursday when I see him again.

Niqi....does DH understand you'd be stuck in hospital on Christmas day??? And boxing day?? Oi I dont like that image for myself...lol.

Losing weight this side...so as much as I HATE being sick all the time...I really need to lose some weight...so happy about the weight loss. I have lost about 3kgs in the last 3 - 4 weeks. Not too fast which is good.

How is everybody else doing today?

Hi all!

Another good day. It must be the essensiale!!!

Nelia- good luck with the pains

Maryka- i am trying my best to feel something but nothing so far, but its my first.... So will just have to wait!

Karatemum- yes... Same day! My husband was happy with my idea of having a c-section. But since he heard due date is christmas, he wants me to go full time. Both his grandfathers birthday was on christmas day. If it is a boy he would be named after the one.

Mandy b- how did your scan go?

Simone- hope you feel better? Ms is a bitch!!

Good evening ladies

Hi everyone
Feeling a lot better today.
Simone, I see you also have uncomfortable pains. I started to worry.
I was at my father in laws birthdayparty with the kids yesterday evenig. they fell asleep on the way home and I carried all three to their beds. And when I woke up this morning I felt something like the muscles are stretching a lot. Even something like menstrual cramps.

Do you think I have to worry?

Also got bad news today. After I left last night my mother in law got very sick. She was taken into hospital and they say she got water on her lungs. so she was placed to Panorama in cape town. We are all waiting to hear what the test results are.

Its nice to know it may be baby that I'm feeling!
Thanks for that info!

Simone - Good luck with that nausea. Its not nice at all.

How did it go with the scan?

Karatemum I laughed so hard now! That's funny and sad re: baby shocking from one side to another.

OMW ladies !

I thought I was going MAD !! There is no way in hell I can feel something now .... but karatemum - what u said about the shocks - that make sense. I feel something but I really thought it's just ALL in the head cause there is no way you can feel now already. That is very interesting .... so I am not going mad.

I thought I am either going MAD or there is twins in there .... (hope not - the twin thing LOL )
