Dec 2011/ Jan 2012 Mommies to be !!

More almal

Ek sien dit gaan goed met almal - dit is net baie stil!!!

Ek het baie lanklaas hier geskryf - die laaste paar weke was maar rof! Was 2 maal vir 'n week in die bed agv bloeding, die 2de keer was dreigende miskraam.Het dus maar gerus, en hormoon pille gedrink! Was Maandag vir Fetal Assessment by Pretoria-Oos Hospitaal, en alles lyk goed met baba! Dit was so 'n verligting, om die hartkloppie te hoor en sien, die handjies en voetjies te sien! Verder is die dokter 90% seker dit is 'n dogterjie, maar ek is maar skrikkerig om dit te glo - dit is darrem bitter vroeg om die geslag te sien, sal maar hoor wat sê my gynie met volgende afspraak.

Hoop almal het 'n heerlike dag!

Nelia - Will be interesting to see if that heartbeat thing is true. Last week our ones heartbeat was at about 160 and then with the scan the gynae thought it may be a boy but wasn't too sure as baba would not sit still for very long! We also didn't do the down's test. But will have the detailed scan which is booked for Aug 12.

KimmyMoon - Nope baba isn't affected by you having the flu, but is affected by any meds that you take, which is why you must be super careful what you take. Hope you are on the mend!

Simone - Yup there are times I'm glad I don't drive! Blackouts are finally getting better, do get dizzy occationally then just sit down whereever I am. So glad your down's scan went well. Shame I really hope the up chucking stops soon, that cannot be any fun even with no nausea. I hope that the placenta moves as thats such a worry near the end of pregnancy when you may need bed rest

Ashleigh - So glad the scna went well and you now also have a due date. The stuffed up nose is sadly also normal in early pregnancy, I had it too. It's because you secret all those extra things and mucus in the nose is one of them! I hope it clears up soon for you.

Maryke - Wow your gynae really doesn't sound very nice at all. I'm sorry but I would have flipped my lid with him. really when someone has an issue especially when they are pregnant the Dr needs to see to it quickly in case it is something serious. How would he know its not without seeing you? Is there any chance you would move gynae's? I would seriously consider it if I were you. How is he going to be if you go into labour at some random hour in the morning? or if it's early? Come on this man needs to do his job! Shame man, I can imagine how freaked out you were - I had bleeding last week and called my GP cos I couldn't get hold of my gynae (he is overseas) and she sent me straight to hospital and called my gynae's wife (also a gynae) to see me. She then came through to see me once the hospital monitored and checked me and baba. I just can't understand your gynae's attitude at all, very sad.

It's been very quiet in here! Where is everyone?
Hope you are all well

Hi
Just a quick hello. I have the flu (since Saturday). HD is on a work trip for the week. Luckily kids are very good and its holiday, no driving schoolcar. But I feel lonely and sulky! Poor kids, I'm not a very good mommy this week.

Hope you all are well

Where is all the ladies .... ?? To cold to write ??

Hope you all are ok !!

Good day ladies

Maryka, sounds like there is a lack of care from your gyne, I mean, that is the least that anyone would do, I would expect that as well, especially considering that you are pregnant, and you know what they say about infections.

Personally, I would talk to the gyne myself and request that she explain what is wrong and / or, get another gyne. With my first baby, I was fortunate to get a good man gyne, and I came at him with a whole lot of questions that he answered, you know how it is mos when it's your first child, I mean, I did research, talked to friend, the whole bunch, kept my self busy with pregnant magazines and went "preggy crazy" but, at least I educated myself and now, I know what is what.

The fact that you are hoping that all is well, is good, cause sometimes, all you need to do is have faith, that will get you through and believe me, little one will be safe so, don't worry, in the mean time, sort the issue of the infection out.


Research has shown that infections may bring about pre - term labour if not treated in time, so ask all the questions and if you are still not satisfied with your gyne, you have the option of going and getting a second opinion. Freedom of choice, exercise it girl!!

Morning ladies – hope all is doing well and the MS isn’t that bad this morning

I do feel a bit better but there is something really bugging me – I need your opinion :

Last week Monday I went for my first scan. All was well but I was very sick. So the gyni asked me few questions and gave me antibiotics and probiotics. She said that I could get yeast infection cause of the antibiotics. So if that happens I should go to the chemist and get a cream like conesten and use that. So I went off and got all the meds and took them. Last week Thursday I had a browness discharge and that worried me a bit. But it went away. Over the weekend it came back a bit and went again. And on Monday there was ‘n discharge again but lighter. But this really freaked me out. So Tuesday I phone my gyni’s rooms and they tell met that she is in surgery the whole day and that I can leave a message on her phone. The receptionist not really being at all understanding or sympathetic or anything. So I phoned and left a message on the gyni’s phone. By 4:30 yesterday afternoon she didn’t phone back so I phoned again. This time a nurse picked up. So she said that the dr is busy in surgery and if she can take a massage. So I tell her the story and by now I am close to tears. So she says I must just hold and she tells my story to my gyni. The gyni said ok I should just go get a cream for trust and use it. So I explained that I have done that on Friday but it’s not going away. And I am worried. So the nurse tells the story. Dr says well that is all I can do cause I can’t take anything else so I must just keep on using the cream. Thank you and goodbye. So after having a good cry due to worry I start to think. But what if there is something wrong. Not that there is cause I just know everything is ok. But what if it wasn’t and the gyni just said well get a cream and use it. I would like something like I WILL phone you after surgery even is it meant 8 o’clock tonight. I would have liked something like make an appointment tomorrow so that we just check it out. That is what I would have liked.

But how is your gyni’s. Would he / she have said the same or would they wanted to see you or am I just being over emotional and just plainly stupid ??

The scan today was great. Doc is very happy. Heartbeat 121bpm, baby is 5.5mm. He said I ovulated late so my due date is now 12 FEB 2012.

I am also sick. Doc said I can only use Iliadin. He said I must stick out another 2 weeks if I dont get worse. If condition is the same in 2 weeks then only is he going to prescribe something. I just really bad sinusitus, i have had it for almost 2 weeks.

DH and I have only told 3 close friends and their partners. We haven't told family yet. I want to wait until we out of the 1st trimester, but hubby wants to tell them now. I'll have to compromise with him that he can tell his sister but wait before we tell our parents. But the other giveaway is the growing belly so will see how long i can hide it.
