August-September 2010 Moms

Hey girls

Ann wow thats a lovely bump! I get so jealous of these pronounced bumps they are so cute
I'll do another one next week when I reach 28 weeks (trying every 2nd week)

Thanks for making me feel better about the stretchmarks...
Funny thing is my bum / hips seem to be the same size as I can still wear some of my work pants with my yummy mummy band but yet my calves get bigger? Strangest thing!
Babyzee - belly pics on Monday please!

Shew Charneney thats rough. But the hours are crazy, dont know how you do it! Cant you start work later and miss the morning traffic?
Cant wait for your pics
I'll once again try get clothes on the weekend. Will see if my mom comes through maybe we can go shopping together

Charn thx for the 4d info. Yea if it wasnt free I'd have gone to Peek a Babe. Did you take your MIL with btw? And did you talk to her?

I must tell you, I have the bestest gynae ever. I sent him an SMS this morning, because I have a sore throat and it kept me awake, and wasnt sure whether I could take viral guard throat spray. He was nice enough to phone back and give me some alternative suggestions that he considers safe including an antibacterial spray, and andolex gargle stuff. I thought he'd sms back or phone me after hours, but to phone me an hour later was really special.

Ann - that is a precious baby bump

@ 87 days to go...I am so uncomfortable.

Girly lets see if it works this time round.

Hi Ladies TGIF

Girly talking of stretch marks i have given up on them bio oil just fades them but there are here to stay, i seem to have them all over.

As for the eating i eat alot of junk during the day and good news i that my last appointment on Mon my doc stay i havent gained at all infact i lost 1kg thougth it strange because baby i much bigger but he isent worried about it, i wonder where its all gone to lol probably my bums i do have big ones and i am having problems getting pants

Have yourselves a well rested weekend.

Getting to work really early these days because I don't feel like driving in anymore - 2 tiny accidents already during this pregnancy and not risking it again. So, DH brings me in and he needs to be at work in town at 7AM, so I am in Pinelands at 6:30 each morning!!! By 4PM, when my sister gets me, I am EXHAUSTED!!!

Girly, stretch marks on the calves - oh tell me about it!!! I have them too I just kind of decided what must be, must be and no use stressing about it. I use my bio oil and tissue oil twice a day and hope that it won't get too much worse. I did tell DH that at this rate, there will only be 1 baby LOL. Bought the clothes at Woolies from the normal section, just my jeans are from their maternity section and they are actually a bit snug around my waist I always joke that there is another baby growing in my bum and in my back as well because not even my jackets fit anymore Will take a pic over the weekend and post.

Babyzee - good to hear from you again, look forward to meeting you on the 6th.

4D scan at Panorama - it was nice, the lady there was really friendly and explained everything in detail. That being said, if it wasn't free, I wouldn't think it was worth paying R450 for - but that's just my opinion. She uses a small screen unlike at Peek-A-Babe where they have the big screen up against the wall. But, if you having your baby there, it's free and great fun!!!

Evening ladies
I'm at work still, waiting for hubby to arrive so we can go to dinner at the V&A for SIL's graduation dinner. Horrible timing in this weather!

BabyZee so nice to see you online again All ok? Glad your baby is growing well. Have you decided on a name yet?
I think VBac is not recommended within 18months of a c/s but 24months is safer.
Will be great to finally meet you!

Charnenay yay! How did you find them? Any suggestions?
Glad to hear the pain is better. Please let me know what your gynae says next week, because I've been having bad pelvic pain in front, but find its fine when I'm sitting, its really sore when I stand or walk.
That Symphisis Pubic Dysfunction looks scary! I wiki'd it earlier.

Aah I'm so jealous about the clothes. Where did you buy? I dont have the legs for the tights unfortunately or I'd live in them! I have a rugby players legs seriously, and I'm getting stretchmarks on my calves??? Strangest thing!
I have maternity jeans from woolies, my size, but they are too big on the waste?
I tried to go to Jet today just to get some jerseys cos its freezing but they are still only selling the thin material stuff? Really odd since winter is here in 3 days time?
Hows about a belly pic? Havent seen one from you in a while
Wowee 4.5kgs is big! Natural or c/sec?

My belly is doing a lot of growing, and the scale is confirming it! But I cant stop eating!
I read on the 7 month update from Pampers newsletter today about all the food stuff we must try and maximise, like calcium (1000mg a day?) and iron and vit D so trying to adjust my eating habits & bought some dried fruit today - lets hope my body plays nice!
