Sarah, send me your email adress, then I'll forward that article to you. I actually got if from Janine, maybe she has send it to you before.

Carmen, bly jy het jou make up oorleef! Hoop jy geniet jou rustige daggie!

Petro, gaan fliek man, dit sal lekker wees. Ons het laas gaan fliek toe ek vir Stefan verwag het.

Julle daar is 'n lekker rowwe artikel oor my ou skool (waar ek skoolgehou het) in die rapport vandag. Lyk my die hoof word bietjie seniel... Ek kan nie help om lekker te kry nie want ek is self deur die ou beesblaas ingedoen! Die wiel draai... Hoop hy kry wat hy verdien.

Sarah, you can do it girl. Just don't think of pain. Pain is brought on by fear, when you go into labour, relax and breathe. Contractions are not that bad (I'm not talking about induced contractions.)
And when they ask wether you have pain, block out that word. Thinking about pain makes your brain think there is pain. I got through Stefans birth without an epidural. They did give me pethadine, but all it did was make me sleepy.
It isn't as bad as everyone describes. As long as you stay calm your body will produce endorphins that will help you handle the situation.

I can send you an article on painless birth.

Thanks. I phoned my mum today and we had a chat and I mentioned how much I wanted and needed her here so she is coming up next weekend. I feel better about it all now - I think I was just needing my mum. I try not to think of labour as pain...I think of contractions and I think of delivering my baby. I'd love to read that article. I've got a book on active birth which I must read again. The thing about an epidural I really don't like is not having control over what happens to me.

Late night for me...must go to bed now!

Wat n rustige saterdag !!!!

Net rong gele vanogg, vanmiddag die heerlikse viskerrie vir ons gemaak,tuin nat gemaak,saam manlief rondgery en nou kyk ons rugby !!! Manlief se lip hang bietjie, want hy is n groot Shark

Hi julle

Ek het die make-up oorleef en is nou bly dis nou vir eers verby!

Gerne, lekker lag ek nou vir jou storie! Ag ek wens so ek het 'n swembad gehad! Ek gee nie om hoe koud daai water is nie, ek spring in!

Anina, bly Claudia het gedraai!

Sarah, good luck, I am sure you will be able to do it in the end! I personally don't fear pain that much at all, Iin fact I am one tough cookie, have had many gall stones pass and my gall bladder removed...and they say that is very close or same as labour...the pain was to the degree where you feel that you want to pass out

My reason for haveing c-sec is not at all about the pain, it is the idea that my bladder will fall out my body! You will be fine and persevere!!

Ok, julle, ekke gaan nou skuinsle op die bank, more speel my man alweer golf, so ekke gaan moreoggend rustig by die huis wees, en dan gaan ons die middag sy hare laat sny by so 'n bikers liefdadigheid event, waar een van my pelle die ouens se hare sny

Baai

Gerne, hoop jy kry darem bietjie rus vannaand!

Ons het ook 'n gas in die huis, my niggie se seuntjie. Hy is my peetkind en hy bly tot Dinsdag terwyl sy ma in Namibie is. Hy is nou 10, en vrek uitputtend. Hy het verbale diaree en wil heeltyd aandag he. As hy jou nie treiter met vra nie, vertel hy vir jou goed en jy MOET luister. Dis erg! En hy het geen geduld met Stefan nie!

Ralmarie, ek weet nie hoe doen jy dit met so baie kids nie, ek wil self baie he, maar met Stefan en Francois en swanger, is ek nie meer so seker nie...

Nou sit ek maar voor die rekenaar en hop op my bal en soek prentjies om more op Stefan se mure te verf. Die see agtergrond lyk stunning!

Hi dames

Henko se niggie kuier vir di nwk so vanoggend het ons net gou ready mix koekies gaan koop want ons gaan vanmiddag koekies bak en toe is ons teen 11uur ini swembad. My plan was om hul so moeg te speel dat ons almal lekker kan slaap! Eintlik wou ek nie regtig swem ni want die watet is vrek koud maar toe val henko in die diep kant in en ek het toe nie n keuse nie. Flip dit was erg, dink ruben het n gevries want dis p-p koud

Teen halfeen was almal ini bed - ek in kluis maar toe besluit ons Jack Russel sy is lus vir sport met di hoenders. Flip weet, sy jaag die hennnetjie dan skree sy so dit klink of sy verkrag word dan spring ek op en hardloop uit, in my evas gewaad want dis mos warm en hardloop agter die vkn hond en hoender aan. Ai my lewe ook tog!

So.... Ek het in totaal 20 min geslaap en henko n uur, hy is nie uitgeslaap nie so hy is misluk. Ezara slaap nog n dik hou.

Janine, ek is bly sy le al so mooi, dit maak dinge makliker ne. Nou is dit n spanningsvolle wag vir j ne

Anina, yay, mos vi j gese j moenie wory ni.

Petro ek word ook deesdae so honger wakker maar na n koppie boeretroos is ek weer okay!

Carmen hoop jy is okay na al di make up - dit is so warm vandag.

Hi mommies

So, 7 days left till B-Day...I am beginning to get a little nervous now coz hubby told me today that he think the pain of labour is not worth it and maybe I should just have an epidural. I know he will support me in what I want (I'm not a fan of epidural, it is my last resort) and he's just as nervous. I think he's seen me not be able to walk coz of my back pain but that is a different type of pain - that is debilitating whereas I see labour as positive and empowering and life-giving. But now I have this little nagging voice in my head...I'm trying to ignore it and doing some positive thinking but I can't help but wonder if Im just being silly and trying to be 'different' (he always says I'm trying to be different and not conform to 'normal' society!

I think I'm just nervous of the unexpected...and missing my mum, I really want her here but she can't really take time off work. I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't just ask her to come up the day before baby is due, just in case, but if baby decides to be late then she misses work and there's nothing much we can do anyway coz Dr will only see me on the 18th to make a plan regarding induction etc.

OK, moan over...I really need to keep my mind busy till baby arrives!
