Feb-May 2011 Mommies

HI Joli

Ya I am with Discovery! Make sure that you have the OUT PATIENT PMB form that the doc must sign. I just got the doc to sign the form and then his receptionest filled in teh codes. She only put in like 3 codes so when i got home I beefed it up with all the codes that I had from other Mommies (she had only filled in consults, urine dipstick and scan).

I faxed to discovery on Tuesday and got the ans on Friday - thik they meet fo PMBS on a Thursday.

All the codes that thgey approved above are the codes that I filled in on the form.

If you give me your email i will email the letter they sent me so you can see it in full. They explain if your doc is a DSP etc and how it all works.

I am just so grateful that it got approved first time and no hiccups!

Morning Girls

Sorry was MIA last week - was running to a deadline at work and was really busy.

Wsa great having DH back on Friday afetr he had been away for a week. We went and did a bit of shopping on Saturday - starting to collect sample colours fro nursery etc. Our cot and pram should be arriving at the end of this month from the UK and then we want to start putting the nursery together. I want to have everything completed by the end of year - really dont want last minute rushing around. Our next big purchase will be the rocking chair for the nursery. We saw a stunning one at the Baby show a few months back at the CTICC. It looks like a lazy boy (single arm chair) kinda thing, but it rocks. It is the most comfortable chair i have ever sat in. I think they were R3000 and they custom make it for you in what ever fabric etc you choose. I have not really shopped around yet for the chair so that is next on my list. I want a nice comfy chair that i can feed in and fall asleep in etc!

Wow cant beleive that we are on page 100!!!! Time is certainly flying. Cant wait fo Friday when i will be 12 weeks!!! That will be akmost 1/3rd of pregnancy gone an dI do not even feel pregnant yet! Have got the start of a bump which is fantastic. Cant wait for it to get bigger, although i know in a few months I iwll want to take those words back!!

Faw - glad you got the ball rolling!

Meags - enjoy work and GL trying for a girls name that DH likes! WE are also struggling with a girls name!

Joli - sorry about your LG been sick. Hope its all better now! Yay 3 kids alone out at wimpy might be a hand full!

Emsmom - hope we can see some pics soon of the photo shoot

Lucy W - glad all sorted and nice that DH has tried to stop again!

Kimika - I know all about been tired!!! RESTrest rest is best!

And to all others hope that we all have a fantatsic week

Oh shame man Kaylae - but tomorrow is not too far away . BH are not sore at all. Your tummy just pulls tight. It might be a bit uncomfortable, but not sore. I'm most comfortable with sleeping on my left side.

Good Morning Preggies . So wanted to pop in over the weekend but things were just crazy.

Fawhaway - how are you today? So sorry that you are going through all this.

Karen - glad all went well with you scan .

Karin & Cath - how did your scans go? Updates pls!!! Karin could you see the sex???

Jessica - I like the name Cullen! Mentioned it to DH and he seems fine with it as well. So maybe we will call our boy Cullen instead of Kyle (if it's a boy off course!). I seriously hate gynaes - why do they always suggest a c-section is better?? I've got no problem with women who choose to birth via c-section, but I really do get pissed with gynaes for always wanting to go that route. With Megan my gynae kept telling me I'm too small and Megan is too big to birth natural (I wear size 3 shoe, 1.5m tall) and the more I told him I had my 1st child natural the more the told me Megan was too big! Kayla was 2.6kg at birth and Megan 3.1kg and I had a normal birth. Didn't even tear. And Megan only turned head down at around 38 weeks as well. If you really want to go VBAC you need to really find a pro natural gynae! I called my old gynae's offices and was told that he won't see me if I'm going via a midwife . So now I've been referred to Dr. Mia at Genesis.

Tazzy - I'm sure they are BH. Mine doesn't last long, but they can get quite intense. Weird feeling. I've read up on the internet and it's apparently common to have them so early with subsequent pregnancies.


Lucy - so glad you guys could sort things out!!

Kimika - how you feeling today??

LOL Emsmom - you should have forwarded the e-mail from photographer on what to wear to your MIL! So is MIL going with today? Enjoy your scan - can't wait for the update!

Kaylae - enjoy your scan and pls come give us an update.

AFM - still didn't tell my boss. He was checking out my tummy on Friday but he left before I could actually speak to him and never came back to the office. So today is the day!!!

Megan was sick over the weekend and vomited all over our bed at 3 on Sunday morning! But she seems much better today. This morning she cried big tears cause Kayla went back to school . Shame we wanted to put her in a school now, but then it's only for 2 months and we will still have to pay for December even tough she won't be going. Oh ya I must share this. Hubby went to work on Saturday so on Saturday morning Kayla was lying in bed with me having our coffee. So she started talking about babies etc. and then asked me: Mommy is it only guys with really beeeeeg willies that make twins or triplets? When I finally calmed down - sorry I know I shouldn't have laughed but I just couldn't stop, I explained to her how twins and triplets are made and then sommer explained how boys / girls are made. She already knows where babies come from cause she asked me when she was 5 and I told her the truth. Took the girls to fetch my post, pajamas shopping for Kayla and shoe shopping for Megan and then to Wimpy for lunch on Saturday - they were really good and so sweet but I don't think I will attempt that with 3 kids without hubby being around

Having my scan on Wednesday!!!!!!!!! Can't wait. I still sometimes have to remind myself that I'm pregnant! When I walk past a mirror I first stop to look at my tummy and then to think that there's actually REALLY a baby in there!!

Morning ladies;

Unfortunately I will be doing my scan tomorrow and will update on Wednesday,thanks to the stupid receptionists at drs and very dissapointed

Tried to catch up but forgot

AFM-I always have pains on my uteras,do not know if it is BH.I try sleeping on my sides but wake up sleeping facing up and my uteras just pains a lot.do you think this sleeping position hurts or make the baby uncomfortable?
