What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger! lol

Firefly, you crack me up. Thanks I really needed a good laugh. Please, continue to rant as much as you want! So long as you don't mind me laughing at your expense

Mybrat, Vomifene tabs or Emetrol syryp are very safe to use. Vomifene is what I prefer because Emetrol tastes bad it makes me feel worse to drink it.

Ginger was all that worked for with the MS last time. What I used to do was buy a bottle of lennons Jamaica Ginger and drop 3 drops into my rooibos whenever I felt bad. it really worked well.

Hello preggies ladies

I feel u regarding MS!!!!! Aargh! Mine started at 6 weeks.....I must say today is the 1st day I feel half normal. Its the firsat day I haven't been sick.been vomiting 4 times a day, been sooo rough! Firefly, champers, we will get thru this, will be so worth it!!!

Mybrat- my gyne gave me stemetil for the nausea, but u need a script. Strangely, since I called him for the pills, I have been feeling a lot better. Still nauseas but much less vomiting! I really hope it stays this way. I feel like I can actually cope!

Which of u ladies r going to the baby expo in jhb? I can't wait, will prob go on the Sunday.

@2Kidmamma - It was me looking for Dr Bhorat number. Thanks for that. If he is that good then I think it worth the money spent.

I am 7 weeks today and no morning sickness .... yet...... what is safe to take should the MS hit me soon

Hi Ladies!

Champers, I don't know how you are coping with MS and a little one. I totally need to rant about MS and then, if you ladies prefer, I will shut up:

MS is a total BITCH. I've only been suffering with it for 4 days (*whimper*) but it feels like an eternity. I'm hungry but I can't eat and the smell of everything makes me want to throw up. I alternate between moaning over the nausea and moaning over the hunger - because I don't know which is worse. This morning, I woke up at 1:45am to go to the loo (because, to add to the ms, I have also been bleeding slightly and I wanted to check on whether I had bled through the night). And then I felt so crappy that I just camped out on the floor of bathroom. Somehow the bathroom makes me feel a little better than any other room of the house. Hubby woke up because he heard me whimpering in the bathroom feeling sorry for myself and he followed the sounds. Poor guy, he came to sit on the bathroom floor with me and the smell of him (that lovely, pheremony smell of his body which I used to love pre-pregnancy) instantly made me vomit out the five sips of water I had downed since waking. That's right, not only am I nauseas and vomiting, I also can't be comforted by my husband because the smell of him makes me want to barf. Hell, even the smell of myself makes me want to barf! (just to clarify - this is after we've both taken showers).

So, still feeling sorry for myself, I called my mother (don't worry, the time in SA was around 8am) to cry and also to complain about the crappy genetics she handed down to me (guess who else suffered like this during her pregnancies?) And then I told hubby that if he wants more children he may have to consider adopting because I'm not sure I can go through this again. After which I ran back to the bathroom to throw up the slice of apple I thought it was safe to eat after the last vomiting session.

Oh, and as for ginger? I was bloody drinking ginger tea and sucking on a fresh piece of ginger the first time I threw up this weekend!


Okay - I'm done with the rant. Sorry for that. @2kmm, glad you enjoyed the show.@ Stacey - so far I've avoided funny tastes in my mouth (oh please, please let that stay away!). @ Bronz, haven't thought about names yet, maybe after we find out the sex. @ Champers - what a miracle this pregnancy is! Wow

I forgot now, who was asking about a fetal anomalie specialist in Durban?

K Dir Bhorat's no is 031-5825059

This is what my Friends Gyne said about him

"Unfortunately Dr Bhorat is the best and the only one i trust and they are expensive because the equipment is DAMN expensive , the expertise required to see everything is incredilble and the high risk for medico legal litigation , but he is the only one in durban to go to"

Morning ladies

Hope you all had a great weekend. @ Bronz, the show was quite nice, I only wish I had been able to go on my own becasue it's hectic with kids in tow. I also didn't have much time to browse between barney & Mister Maker and then my DH wanted to leave. I got good specials at Baby city and also on the Centrum materna which I got for R180 and it's usually R270. I also bought a nice wrap top from Kicker maternity and paid R270 instead of R340. I had previosuly decided I would buy the bottles I want to use at the babycity stand and was very glad when I got 6 bottle for R240 instead of R530. They had a huge special of buy 1 get one free for the Nuby soft flex.

The MS comes and goes and isn't too bad at the moment but I think it's on it's way. I really only started badly with it in around week 7 of my other two pregnancies.

Champers, I don't know how you do it? One waking a night with my 2 year old is enough to set me back. Hugs and strength to you girl.

Michelle, I am thinking about you, keep your chin up and look after yourself.

@ Bronze, the name game is something I love but havn't put any thought into it yet, My daughter has decided it with be Carla because it is a girl of course. Karl was my Dad's name and he passed on in August so I think Carla might me a good option to consider.
