April/May/June 2012 Moomies

Welcome JJ, Adele and Barbara - wow, our group is growing quickly

@mybrat - you are SO lucky you are not having ms. I read that it was genetic and my mom and my grandmother had terrible ms too (I blame her for the hell I'm going through now - I just hope that my children will inherit my MIL's genes as she told me this morning that she didn't get any ms ever).

@Stacey - I feel sorry for you too. Maybe coz I feel sorry for myself as well, lol.

Ladies who eat - please forgive me for skipping over your food posts, I might miss some other info but I just cannot handle food talk at this stage (although I am still hungry - I DREAM of food!)

2kmm, we initially told just my parents and brothers and my in-laws and asked everybody not to say anything until at least 8 weeks when my first appointment was scheduled (you'll remember, I haven't even done bloods yet as they don't do them early here). My in-laws were just too excited though and the VERY NEXT DAY we started getting emails from my extended in-law family congratulating us. I was just getting more and more irritated - we had specifically asked them not to say anything yet and also, did they not think that we would want to announce that we're expecting our first child (as opposed to them announcing their 5th grandchild)? But now I've just given up and have started telling my close family and friends because I don't want them to hear it from other people. But I think we'll wait a bit before doing a facebook announcement. I'm not saying anything to anyone on campus yet though, I think I might just wait until I'm showing.

We are in the same boat JJSiviter! Mine will be 18 months apart

Hi Ladies

I enjoyed reading your stories & wanted to join this group. I *think* I'm due bub number 2 in June 2012. I already have a little girl (Georgie) who is 11 months & reeaaalllyyy didn't expect this to happen, it only takes once though doesn't it?!

I am at once very excited re: lovely new baby but also a bit apprehensive about how my little girl will adjust. They'll only be about 19 months apart & Georgie is my entire universe so I'm hoping she doesn't feel insecure or put-out by the new baby. I'm under no illusions that having a young toddler & new born will be hard work but thats ok - I'm sure I'll love it. Any tips/advice from mommy's who are or have been in a similar situation?

Hi Ladies.

Adele, Welcome to the group

@Nadine, Will def be thinking of u tom! Pls let us know how it goes. My 12 week appointment is in 12 weeks and im starting to get nervous already!

@2km and mybrat - I have been struggling to drink any liquids since MS, i find it just makes me feel so much worse I really have had the worst week with MS. Monday was a good day and I thought it would lift - i was WRONG. I really am wishing time away so ms would go already - and I feel so bad for feeling like this, just dont know how much more ms I can take! (Sorry feeling sorry for myself)

1 more week till my 10 week scan - counting the days

Have a good eve!

Hi Ladies,

I have been so quite the last couple of weeks, work has been really hectic and when I get home at night I just want to pass out I'm so tired.

BUT...I'm going to my gynae tomorrow for my 12 week scan and the downs test. I have been feeling very nervous this whole week, I just want it over with and I want to know that everything will be ok. I'm really looking forward to it though So please hold thumbs for me tomorrow and say an extra prayer at 12h45.
I will let you know how it went.

After that though I setriously have to go and get bigger bra's

Hope all of you are well.

Take care!

Nadine

I do have peppermint tea at home but never tried it

Milo I have not had since i was pregnant

Becareful of the Milo, it has a very high vitamin A content. You must not get more in that the RDA while you are pregnant.
