April/May/June 2012 Moomies

lol @ mybrat... the fatigue has hit already, and it only gets worse. I think the 1st trimester has got to be the most difficult, especially when- like you and me, you're not saying anything to anyone until the 12 week mark and you're trying to disguse the fatigue, the ms, the not being able to drink alcohol, the sore & expanding (.)(.)'s... oh and just a word of warning, the b complex vitamins in your prenatal vits turn your urine a wonderful neon yellow- so don't get a fright when that happens!! I'd completely forgotten about that and hit panic station when it happened- google.com is wonderful for those kind of questions.

Hi Michelle

Thank you for the welcome. It has not hit home properly that I am preggies.

I told DH that I want to wait until the 1st trimester is over before telling all our family and friends. At the moment only my immediate family knows.

My GP has given me Centrum Materna DHA to take and for now i have yet to suffer from any MS. The closest i get to MS is feeling a bit queezy at odd times during the day but nothing bad. it lasts a couple of seconds and goes away

I do hope you feel better soon and all the best with your parent/teacher meeting.

As for my weekend. I am a freelance/part-time photographer so on Saturday i had a 18th birthday party to attend to do the photos which was a Moyo @ Ushaka. Very nice evening

Sunday - i woke up and felt like i could cuddle under a duvet and just watch movies. I got up to get a roast chicken and rolls for DH and climbed back into bed and slept until 6pm ... YIKES

Welcome mybrat!! Congrats and wishing you a happy & healthy 9 months. The only advice I can give you is take your ante-natal vitamins every day- you'll have to find a time of day that works best for you because some of these tabs can add to the ms!! Other than that, just take it easy, don't do anything strenous and be as patient as you can until your first gynae appointment.

Afm I have the WORST ms today and nothing is helping . I have to go to an end of term parent/teacher meeting at 1.30 and just praying that I make it through without having to rush off to the bathroom.

How is everyone else? Did you all have a good weekend?

Hello All.......

I just found out last week Tuesday by a HUGE surprise that I am 4 weeks pregnant going into 5 weeks now.

My DH and I were TTC in August, but then after 4 negative pregnancy home tests and getting my period the beginning of September... I thought, Oh well, we will try in 2012.

About 3 weeks ago, I began feeling panicky, anxious which then turned into depression and constant crying. I could not understand what was going on. I then started 2 weeks ago with "period type pains" and slight spotting.

Last week Tuesday I went to my GP, and explained what has been happening and asked her to do a pap smear. She said she would do a pregnancy test first and then pap smear

So there i was on the doctors table, with not even a thought that i would be preggies and my doctor tells me i am pregnant. Out of shock i start to cry and she calls my DH into the room to announce the news.

I had to go over to Alberlito to get blood tests done to see how far i was. She called to say 4 weeks last week and that my pap smear results are all clear

I have my 1st Gynae visit 24 October. Hopefully then i will have a more clear idea when i am due. I worked out roughly that my baby is due 5 June 2012

I am a bit nervous as this is my first child and i am not sure what to do next and what is needed. So any advice will help

And so my journey begins

Hi everyone, hope you've all had a good day. I've been on an HR Course today, so much fun- can't believe how it flew by and of course it took my mind off the possibility of twins... I've managed to get an appointment with my gynae at her Nu Shifa Hospital Practice on Monday, 3 October at 12.30, so just going to relax and not stress and not think too much until then. Her Westville practice didn't have an opening until November!! Anyway have a good evening everyone!!

How are all the ladies doing today?

Michelle any more news?
