Juandre - glad your 3d scan went well - if you want to make a picci - you can do it so:
Play disc on pc and when you get to your fav. image, (1) pause (2) press print screen button (3) paste into (i) paint (ii) ms word an then print save and.

And post to us of course!!!

Hiya All!

So yes Lucy -Im with you on the sleepless ness. But Im learning to cope. If I go to bed around 8.30 then I get 6.5 -7 hours of sleep before the 3am wake up - and then I just snuggle and can dose - then Im alert again at about 5.
Oh congrats on 9 months !! Not much longer!

Mistq - Oh so good to hear from you. Wish you the best for exams! And hope baby behaves and only comes after your last exam.

Nelria - Sorry about the breech - you should try some of those remedies to help baba turn. My LO's head is also 1.5 week ahead, but doc didnt seem overly concerned as the rest of her sizes was .5 week ahead too.

Anthea - yes we go off the same time - but my boss is on 3 weeks paternity leave and I dont think he has paid attention to the fact that I'll be off 3 weeks after he returns. Shame they are all so considerate and havent inundated me with work - which makes me worry more about my collegue as they havent sorted a temp?

Bras - Ive bought those woolies bras before and felt I needed more support - I got a non maternity bra at ackermans with a real comfortable wide strap and it is heaven!! Must go get some more!

Hi all

Was sooo busy at work yesterday that I couldn't post anything but did enjoy reading everyone's comments and posts. Seems like they're trying to get as much out of me before I go on maternity leave on 7th June - can't believe it's around the corner.

Didn't want to get out of bed on this cold and rainy CT morning, but it felt good knowing that I'll be at home with baby during the cold winter months

Nelria: I'm sure everything will work out baby. I have a feeling my little girl is also still lying breach, will be able to see at my next scan at 33 weeks next week. Will then try all the tricks to get her to turn.

Disposable panties: I bought two of the carriwell disposable panties, but also think I need to go to Pep or Ackermans and pick up a few granny panties. The nice thing about the carriwell ones is that they dry very quickly - important during a wet CT winter.

Bras: I also bought the woolies 2 pack for R150 and two of the carriwell lace nursing bras, I've already worn the carriwell ones to work, on days I don't feel like wearing an underwire.

Sleep: A distant memory, which will become even more fleeting once little one arrives I too am sick of complaining about how tired I am, just trying to rest as often as I can.

Hope you ladies all have a good day. Looking forward to my next scan which is next week Thursday. Want doc to confirm that I am still having a little girl - mom made me a little paranoid as a colleague of hers was told right up until 32 weeks she was having a boy and then they found out she was having a girl.

I'm now 31 wks 4days. Hoping that baby will arrive between the 23rd and 27th June. Have tickets to watch a world cup game on the 21st and don't want to miss out on that

Hey Skyler - this is last week at work and then I am off for 2 weeks before baby comes (well I hope haha)... Plan to sleep when ever and all the time... seems its easier to sleep during the day!

Well I can tell you that I am able to handle a baby routine for sure... but will be thankful to not have the aches and pains!

Nelria - Im sure all will be fine in the end... you are the last person i would ever guess to have complications, so I know this will sort itself out!

Tomorrow am 36 weeks pregnant - 9 months!!! Why do they say pregnancy is 9 months when in actual fact its 10 months!!!

Ooohh and then Monday I go for my 2nd last visit to Gynae!!! She will do internal, discuss my Birth Plan (yes Im having a C Sec - but I have an extensive Birth Plan heehee). Then also give me the 1 week off bed rest note for my work, allowing me to take off from 17 May - 21 May. The week after that is leave, didnt want them to start my Maternity Leave earlier... so worked out best this way!

ladies so i went for 34 wk scan and not good as boeta is 1stly still breach(not problem yet but lea was uipside down from 30 wks) but his head is growing and is one week ahead but his body is 2 wks behind, which mean he isnt fattinig up like suppose too

so anyway nothing i can do really just maybe up on nutrition of food and re-asses at 36 wks by then my gynae is going on honeymoon in anyway so will get final plan then - it might mean though placenta not doing its job - but she says it is at the moment so not too worry yet

I have gained 11.5kg's by now - so only 1.5 over last 4 wks glad that is slowing down

but ya if he doesnt gain weight the I am looking at earlier take out in any way - and most probably c-sec - soooooooooo grrrrrrr and hoping he catch up from now to 36 wks

morning all!

Eve - you so funny - hell no breyton is doing just fine in my belly! lol probably cuase i said i would induce the day after my due date and maybe that part seemed like i was inducing now lol...

Lucy - shame i feel for you, i cant stand this tiredness and no sleep and am so fed up and tired of saying i am tired! although i know you have had way less sleep than me so i can only imagine. Hope it gets better soon and you get some rest, when you off work? It is crap tho sometimes i try and sit and think what a full nights sleep feels like but i forgot!

I am wearing one of the woolies bras now! have been for a few months as underwire hurts me

Hellooooo to LL3 - you are new right?

PS: ladies i just had a thought its 5 weeks from this sunday till i meet my man but they can possibly come early on their own so it could be as little as 3 weeks!!! oh nerves.

Going babba shopping this weekend to get the last of the stuff i cant wait!!!

Morning ladies! Shame Lucy,thats terrible. Maybe you should try some natura rescue. It is safe to use while pregnant. Many midwifes prescribe them.
Eve I also bought the woolies bra's,they nice. I'll maybe buy one carriwell one to sleep in that is more comfortable.
Have a lovely day!
