PAMPERS JULY 2010

newbie i have been waiting for u the whole afternoon

wow, congrats and OMG 1.2kg's already thats amazing i cant wait for my app on thursday now

why do u say it will ruin your sex life? i have seen this so often... and i had natural and was cut and have keliod scaring but still have a sex life ok not as great as what it was as a teenager HAHA but its still above average??

I think u need to follow what u feel, its u that can make the choice and dont feel ashamed or judged about your reasons for choosing whatever option suite you and baby at the end of the day u guys are the most important people so u do whats right.

i am planning natural as well again, hoping i dont tear or cut again, its rather unpleasent but its so small.

well i put up a post about my gyne i am sure u read it and i have a few questions with her that i plan to get answered on thursday as well so wish me the best of luck, i am just now feeling 100% about a few things that i hope to clear up.
Causing me a bit of uneasiness ;( but i am sure all will be ok once i am open and honest with her, it also would help if my hubby came with me so its not always me asking all these things ;(

I cant see the pic of baby yet?? did it load

Hi all, just got back from my 26 week scan, mommy and baby are doing just great, apart from the normal tiredness, general up and down of emotions, and not to forget the all night visits to the loo.. Daddy is coping well, under all the duress of the above, and thankfully getting more sleep than I!!

As for our little girl, she was fast asleep and we couldn’t see too much as she was lying in an awkward position. So I have attached one picture, although its not a great one. It shows her lying, head down face towards my back, feet near my ribs.

As for her current weight she is weighing a whopping 1,2kgs already. Dr said that is usually their weight at 28weeks, but she is very happy and it’s quite normal. Her head is already 6.70cm in diameter and her femur is 4.58cm long.

Other than that, we are due to start our antenatal classes on the 5th May 2010. Very exciting!! Our next appointment is on the 20th May and then our 4D scan on the 25th May, so I will keep you posted on all.

As for my weight, I have picked up 5.4kgs in 26 weeks, not too happy, but dr said that I musnt stress as I am still under most people.. Although I was overweight to begin with.

Also spoke to her about my Keliod scarring and my fear of it happening to my vajayjay during natural birth. She said put it this way, 90% of woman tear or have to be cut, and with a first time pregnancy almost 100% of woman have to.. So its a 50/50 chance that I might get keliod scarring down under. I was hoping for natural birth, with possibility of an epidural if I couldnt handle, however I dont want my sex life totally ruined, so I might consider a C-section, still deciding.

Any thoughts ladies?

Other than that, have the blocked nose that goes hand in hand with some pregnancies and dr told me I cannot use Illiadian for more than 5 days in a row at a time. And its the only thing that helps

Glad some of u girls found us...

So I have attached one picture,
although its not a great one. It shows her lying, head down face towards
my back, feet near my ribs.

I haven't booked my hospital bed and won't be doing so anytime soon.

Currently I am in Bloem and will be giving birth in Gauteng.My app with the gynea in GP is only on the 6th May and I really don't know what to expect.

My app with my current gynea is on the 28/04,I have to inform him that will be going to the new gynea on the 6th,so that he knows cause,i will still be based in Bloem until first week July.

Maybe I will book on that day,I really don't know.

Ashbabe, Gynae told me just to do the pre-admission at the hospital as i need a pre authorisation number from the medical aid. The number is only valid for 30days, so i will have to call for that closer to the time.

I dont have a birth plan either. Or at least not an extensive one.

vaginal epidural is my plan. LOL

isha, i havent even booked my bed yet, i am waiting to see when i go to the gyne on thursday.
birth plan?? do people do those? i didnt do one with chloe

Hey ladies

How have you all been, I couldnt keep up with the PF post you guys are way to too busy

KC_1: My joints are killing me too, Gynae told me to see a physio. Which i think is not gonna help much.

Ashbabe: Hope you feel better real soon. You can also take Iliadon saline nasal spray to help with the blocked nose.

Well as for me, lil girl is kicking up a storm at 03:00 in the morning. Serious back pain. Other than that i am enjoying each day.

Our time is getting closer ladies. Are you all sorted with your hospitals and birth plans?

Ashbabe: Shame man, being sick is not cool at all, and yes the only thing you can take is the white smarties they call Panado, keep hydrated and warm.

KC_1: Hope you recover soon, I can just imagen how bad it must be it's a mission for me to travel to work and I only work 18km from home.

Vickyvdw: I had a melt down when I shaw the new PF site, I was not impressed. Took me a few days to think about going into the main site. Hope the rest of the girls find us here.
