June 2010

Nelria - tho I have been very quite and calm about it - I am actually high risk.

High blood pressure (which caused LG 1 to be born 37 weeks c-sec in last pregnancy). Im not allowed to be induced so if baby doesnt come 38/9 weeks and my BP rises dramatically (which it did in 2 previous pregnancies) well then the knife it is!.

So I dont want baby to come early - just on time and natural 37-39 weeks! Hold thumbs!

Yes Im pretty chuffed about DH. But now to get him to go to doc -Ill have to take him by the hand! My deadline is Friday!

You ladies are a life saver! I don't know what I would do without you - thank you!!

Eloise - so glad hubby is coming around and going to take meds - good job

lezanne - why are they being circumsized so late?

lezanne - also dont know if u and SIL chatted but she is finally there now arrived this wknd

eloise - why do u want baba to come early? and why is your doc pushing for c-sec?

Eloise - that is awesome u must push him to go ASAP now before he goes back on his word

Simone I also stress re prem purely as I dont have enough time for Unisa stuff and would like full term babe for digestive system - 2 of my friends now had 1st baby prem, 2nd baby over term so hoping I am lucky

Hi everyone, finally!
I am also here! Hope you all are well. only 6weeks to go today then little johnathan will be here. cant wait. shame, both boys and dad are in hospital. we had them all circumsized and john had his vasectomy already. shame, they have alot of pain and we still have to drive back to kathu today. i think it will be 4 hours of hell driving back.
further more, everything is going really well with my pregnancy. my dr was very happy last week I say her. he weighs over 2kg now.
will be going to dr again on the 23/24 of may.
good luck to all of you
lots of love
lezanne

Ladies, I have a bit of a feeling that my one will come early - or maybe its wishful thinking to foil my doctors evil plans of c-sec!!

I have already told DH that from 36 weeks on I plan on having sex as often an as frequent as I can get it. I told him to prepare!!

But on the note of baby coming quick! After taking a lovely long weekend I get back and my Boss who went in with his preg wife to doc appointment on monday, was totally shocked that by the end of the doc appointment, baby was on her way! He was in such a state that he has been unable to tell us what happened!. Baby and Mom are doing well!

Oh ladies - belatedly - glad you all had great weekends and lots of luck and for those with the pissy husbands, well they never really grow up! You take on your first child when you get married! For those with labour worries as well:- Be strong and it will all be worth it in the end!

skyler - u are right I thought about it very little 1st time - I prepared in other ways and refused to think of the action on the day and never looked at pics, video's etc as ignorance is bliss

ladies dont lend your ears out people have horrid way of dramatising our realities - I will never forget my friend telling me their friends baba died of cot death - the day le awas born and I just though how mean can u be adding stress to my new experience (bt they dont mean anything) and we shouldnt let others tales etc get to us

but I will tell u I did natural with epi and coped with prem baba and 5mnths of colic

before that I coped with etopic preg, down syndrome scare and tests, NICU baby

and yet I am willingly here for nr 2 (planned) LOL and doing it all over again while handling a toddler so the reward is BEYOND AMAZING

and yes I can honestly say I am looking forward to the birth itself as this time I know what to expect and its the most adrenalin rushed thing I have ever done (and i have skydived, bungeed, gotten tatoo's etc) and the pain is part of it but doesnt rule the experience
