Mommys to be in SEPTEMBER 2010

Evening Ladies

Hope u all had a great day.
Thanks for the well wishes. Havent gotten the results back yet but will go back to the dr tomorrow and ask her to book me off as the migraine came back today. I wish there could be a soluion to all this coz at home I am fine at work it starts again.

Nice weight Sonay, girly is growing nicely.
You are lucky you are going for 4D scan I am not saving for a newborn shoot.Thats the perk of going to a Netcare you get a 4D scan for free

Baths cant say much i am shower person only bath once in a blue moon or if I have to. Hot waer bottle just be careful its closed properly so that you dont burn yourself and wrap it in something.

Take Care Ladies

Ginah,hope you're feeling better already. Take is easy gal.

WRT hot water bottle/baths, I haven't done the bottle yet, but a warm bath is part of my nightly ritual, especially when I have a backache. Not too hot though. Hope you all find some relief of all this preggie niggles.

Well, we got to see our little munchkin again today. And boy, has she grown. EFW=733g. She's still doubling in weight every 4 weeks. It's suppose to slow down now, right??? My weight is luckily still satying constant, picked up 2kg so far, although it feel more like 10kg.

I am so happy since DH & I have sort of decided on a name but has decided to keep it a secret until she's born. We have to keep something a secret. Everyone knows already it is a girl. But I promise you not everyone is happy about it, they're nagging us all the time about it. But, we're gonna stick to it, they will have to wait.

Now for the long wait to see her again on the 1st Jul, and 4D on the 5th.

Ginah
I hope u get beta gal, all thinking abt u

Shame Ginah, sorry to hear about your drama. Hope it all turns out fine. We're all thinking of you.

Sher, regarding the hot water bottle. They normally don't recommend it in the first trimester (like hot baths), but since we're all way past that stage i reckon it's probably fine. I just wouldn't put it directly on your tummy, but if it's on your lower back and especially if it's wrapped in a towel so it's not so hot them i'm sure it's fine.

The issue with hot water bottles and hot baths / sauna's etc is they can raise the body's internal temperature, and if your internal temperature gets higher than it should be it could be harmful to baby. But as I said before, if the hot water bottle is not directly on your tummy (i.e. baby) it should be fine cos you can still lose excess heat through the rest of your body.

(I must just add that warm baths are fine and wonderful to relax in, they just mustn't be overly hot - they shouldn't change your skin colour to bright pink and you should be able to climb in and sit down easily wihtout having to go really slowly cos of the heat).

just wanted to ask you moomies

my partner makes me a hot water bottle in the last few weeks. I am battling with lower back ache some days when i over do it or this work chair actually is a pain.... at home I am fine

I wanted to know if its safe.... I read last night in the Shape Fit mag that you can use a hot water bottle with a towel wrapped around it...any of you used one while pregnant or is ?

Shame Ginah,

sorry to hear that, but I am sure all will be fine, just be positive and rest more I know I should talk last, the only time I am resting is when I fast alseep late night- LOL

I think we women are so strong and do so much... and we give birth. that says something

Shame Gina... hope you feel better soon... let us know about the results of the bloods? But i am sure all is okay:-)

Cant seem to get up in the mornings anymore.... its sooo cold and it's a schlep to get dressed... Anyways maybe it has something to do with crawling around on the floor pinning babies curtains last night huh? Almost finished the first one, just gotta put the curtain tape on it tonight... (Cant wait to go home)

anyways i have to go to a client today so you all have a good day!!!
