Mommys to be in SEPTEMBER 2010

I thnk u ryt Kerry, b4 introducin da formula lo pooed durin evry feed. Ginah im also nt tyin yet as my stiches r stil sore... Wil also try in a wik or 2, scard il disturb da healin if i start while im stil sore.

Oooh it lost my post... grrrrrrrrr

Ginah... dont fret i am the same no interest whatsoever... hubby has taken to force feeding me and weighing me daily... i have lost all my preggy kg's and a little more.
The other night i nearly passed out... hubby took one look at me and immediately marched me to the kitchen and forced me to drink a litre of sugar water. So now i am eating three meals a day... and every time i breast feed i go and make myself a cup of sweet rooibos tea. But i never get to finish my foor... and don't really have the inclination to go back and finish it after. I hope eventually the appetite will come back.

Sher - thanks, she seems to get prettier every day... i recon shes the mould the baby born dolls come from huh?

Mama M - it could be the formula... according to my hospital discharge sheet formula fed babies only fill nappies once a day. Kaelyn had none of that her breastmilk feeds fill every single nappy... every feed its a new nappy... imagine how many nappies i am going through! But its all good, least i know she's eating right huh?

MamaM sometimes the Formula is the cause. I know with most babies Nan makes them constipated.
You are so lucky to have lost all the weight already. I need that esp. since I have so much work to do on my body.

Is anyone bopharing(tying their tummy) already? My stiches are still sore so I am scared, but next week I have to try before its too late.

Pls dn tel me da formula is causin it... Oh my!! Does dat mean i shud stop feedin it 2 lo? I thnk iv shed al da pregnancy kilos, evn da ugly stretchmarks r fading away. Gud luck wit da app sher... Gina dn wori dear, soon al da unwantd kilos wil be gone.

@Sher its not by choice, I was actually planning on only starting
my diet in October. I have about 28 more Kgs to go. I was already
big when I conceived and I was unlucky and gained 17kgs during
my pregnancy, so I still have to put in effort.

Good Luck for your Doctors appointment. Hope baby comes at 39 weeks so that you dont have to wait long.

hey ginah

well done on losing 8kg in two weeks hey

you cant have alot to go..

you must eat though, not nice to lose weight starving, you need your energy

i have my 38 week app tomorrow...lets see how it goes

have one more week to work

Hey ladies

@Mama M is ur LO on formula? Liwa poos atleast twice at nite and maybe 3 or 4 times during the day. But then they said that happens with breastmilk. My cousin used to give his son milk of magnesia but I think ur LO is still small, have u tried a bit of water?

Congrats Punkies, Eva M and MIggie, hope you are enjoying your little ones. Eva I used to love that name Tumisho but cant use it coz hubby is Xhosa and he said no boy of his will have a Sotho name.
All those who had boys are so lucky, phela hubby so wanted a boy he is even thinking we should try for number3 in a couple of yrs.
I think that will take a lot of convincing though.

@MakaOzie I am also always thirsty and not for anything, icey stuff.
I will make Oros will lots of ice or drink water from the fridge with ice. The only other juice I can drink is Passion POwer (lique fruit)
but I have to put it in the freezer first, so that its really cold. Appetite still not back have to force myself to eat still. I guess its
good in a way coz I have lost about 8kg

Take Care Ladies
