PAMPERS JULY 2010

I have a great bunch at my antenatal. But then the guys only come for 3 classes and we do 3 classes just us ladies. Which leaves it open for sex questions etc without other peoples hubbies around.

Newbie - please, please let us know about the bands. Good luck with the biz venture, it seems like you have 2 tummy bands sold already!! Our phobias and issues sound so similar, I am as a mega chlostrophobe, but wasn't bothered in the least by not feeling my legs during the last procedure! the drugs they give you are also awesome. I was on pethadene and murphine during the procedure and for the rest of the day/night after and I tell you..... you could care less, its such a laxy-dazy way of being, I can see how people become addicted!

Dr's visits - initially I complained that once a month was not often enough and too far apart, now its every 2 weeks and, I was just wondering if he was trying to supplement for his 5 week holiday coming up (he is gonna be out of country for the world cup), or if it was standard practise?!? Dr is not willing to plan c-section, he really thinks baba is gonna arrive a week or 2 ahead, so he said we'll plan 3 weeks before due, but if she is not early then I'm planning it around 39 weeks, and his nearest theatre day makes it 22 July 2010 - day after you

Preggy video - I remember one women saying once that in the begginning of pregnancy your all shy about your parts and freak out if hubby stands on the wrong side of the bed at a drs visit, but by the end of labour she could not have cared less if she was pushing in the middle of a rugby stadium with 50 000 spectaters, she just wanted the baby out and that so many people have been in to the room and poked and prodded that she just new she could never refer to it as her "private parts" again

Juandre - good luck for this afternoon. very exciting - enjoy!!

I can't wait to see what weight my LG is. Less than 4 hours!!! She has been average all the way through. If I say to the gynae that I am 27 weeks, the scan shows her weight and height as being 27w2d. She was 1033grams at 27 weeks so I am hoping for about 1.8kg's. Shiloe was 2.9kg's at 38 weeks when she was born, I would prefer this one to be a bit bigger.

naomicee- i will keep u posted on the tummy bands and so forth, I have seen that they work like a bomb.. Glad u havent eaten soil yet, check with ur dr before hand.

Juandre_N - will keep u posted on the tummy band, I will def be speaking to dr about spinal block.. Is the needle thinner with the spinal block or what.Shiloe is gorgeous btw

Patty - thanks Patty!! I aslo hope everyone is a bit more open and hopefully they speak a bit more english...this time

Jo_C - u are a wealth of info, what would we do without u.. lol, so yes Naomicee, wait until u eat the soil. ask dr first.

naomicee - glad u also watch it, I love it.. ITs one of my fav..

Jo_C - your hubby sounds exactly like mine. He is forever saying, worrying is the tax u pay in life for something that may never happen..I am just a worry pot, lol! I try myself it will be ok, just have a huge phobia about hosptials and needles. And I am chlostrophobic so the numbness in my legs might freak me out.. I sometimes feel so silly, but thanks for some positive input. Not so sure if knowledge is power in knowing all about the c-section. However I am too quizzy not to know.. lol
C-Section so far planned for the 21 July!!

As for dr seeing u every two weeks, I think my dr is similar, but it gets rather expensive and if all is ok with our LG, I would prefer to stretch the visits a bit. She has done it with a friend of mine, so all I can do is ask. Perhaps do the same. I think the 2nd last month its every two weeks and the last month is every week..

Also u can wear the belt thingy from the first day after the c-section, it pulls all ur muscles together and people use it for post-tummy tuck procedures.. Definitely a winner.

Juandre_N - haha i think i should ask anyone in our class if they want to volunteer for the next one.. haha they are so shy it would be halarious to see their face. Or perhaps I should jokingly say I would like to volunteer..
Oh the preggie massage sounds nice, would love one of those.. Enjoy the shoot I had mine last week.. Have to wait 4 weeks for the photos though I was also very self concious and cannot wait to see what they look like

Vicky and Jo- since I fell preggies people ask me, wow are u sure you only have one in there. or OMG, u going to be popping soon, u dont have long to go and I was only about 18 weeks..

Anyhow my LG is quite big, she weighed 1.6 at 23/24 weeks.. so I am going again on Tuesday, lets see then.. Wow it is nerve racking.. My hubby says she might be so big, we cant even use number 1 or 2 nappies..

Anyhow as long as she is healthy..

ha ha jo , good one i must remember all of those excuses.. lol

yeah feeling better..thanks again

Yay!! All sorted and good to go then?!?

I know what you mean about wrong thing, wrong time, as well. Something said on a day at a time, will have me in a frenzy then the same thing a few days later, wouldn't bother me in the least. I guess we can blame the hormones for making us act so irrational at times and then when baby is born we can blame sleep depravation and then when thats no the case we can blame PMS and then when thats no longer applicable we can blame menopause, so basically we are covered for irrational behaviour from 12 - 92

Important thing is that you are feeling better (I hope).

thanks for that i feel a little better now.

you know what makes me even more upset is the fact that the one who made the comment doesnt even have children.. i mean wtf. this is my third. and yes now come to think of it , i also have those days where i look at myself and think omg how many babies are in there..sort of thing and otherdays im much more comfortable.... i think im just feeling over emotional.. and maybe that was the wrong thing for me to hear at the wrong time. but problem is now i cant get the worry out of my mind.


anyways thank you all........big hugs
