Ag sorry to be a pain - my due date changed to 14 March

Kimika - I forgot to say my next scan is @ 17weeks on 5 October

Meags - Congrats on the 12 week mark!!
I went to the toddler seminar last year...Ann Richardson is amazing!

Lucy - This second hand baby shop sounds interesting....tell me more not that I need much. But its always nice to look

Faw - I hope you find a job soon, and dont have to come back to PMB. Well done for your son!

Kimika - How you doing? Your bump must be growing now that your almost 16 weeks!

I can feel my baba when I lie on my right. I love it! It feels so soft though!

Schatsie - Welcome! So how far along does that make you know? Hope you free of MS and doing well

I woke up on Tues night with such a bad headache ( Im sure a Migrane) and it hung around till yesterday. Im pleased to have woken up feeling much better this morning. It was making me get sick again....not nice!
I thought maybe my BP was a bit high so I went to our local pharmacy to have it checkd and it was a bit on the low side. 100/60
I did send me gyn an email on friday but he hasnt replied yet... oh well I feel better now anyway.

Hi girls. grrrr the internet is sooo slow today!! Earlier I typed a whole reply and my son was so kind as to hit the shut down button!

Anyways, lets try again

Emsmom, I just love picnics and there is so much you can do ideawise! Im sure your mom will be happy to have some helping hands.

Lucy, Ill give you a pep talk anytime if you promise to give me pick-you-up talks now and then

Fawhaway, congrats again on your son's competition! Keep entering him and Im sure you will win some nice prizes Let us know when you go for the scan. I really hope you get a job soon so you dont have to leave and go back to PMB! Will be thinking of you!!

Meags, ahh man, glad you enjoyed the seminar! Im also a big fan of freebies

Nobody else around??

Hi ladies

well the baby sense seminar was nice and we got lots of free goodies so that was the best part

fawhaway - normal iron levels are between 10-14. it is only considered low when it's 9 so dont stress yet. A level of 11 is fine.
just keep eating iron rich foods and take a supplement if you feel you need to.

EmsMom, did the weather agree to your summer dress??

12 weeks tomorrow. hooray!! only 1 more full day until the scan - so looking forward to it

Kimika - Thanks for the pep talk ..... I need it ..... often!

Meags - We always stress but I think all our bodies are different and almost anything is normal!!

Welcome Schatsie!

Fawhaway - That sucks. I really hope you find a job as PMB does not sound like a good place for you to be.

Emsmom - Enjoy the brunch in the pretty dress. It is cold and wet in KZN.

Joli - St Michaels is lovely .... you'll have an awesome holiday.

Karen - Where is Natalia?

HI Girls.

I have been trying to get on here for some days now. I manage to type my message and then it refuses to submit… I think the submit button was broken. Anyway, I am here now. I went for the interview with the recruitment agency and they haven’t had the decency to call me and tell me what is going on. So ladies never bother with Quantex… they are too lazy to call you.

I still haven’t been for my scan, my mom hasn’t been well and the hospital don’t want my son there and my dad refuses to look after him. I am hoping to go on Monday now. I found out that my iron levels are a little on the low side and that could be part of my problem with me feeling dizzy and faint. Its meant to be 13 and mine is 11, but 9 is critical.. I am half way there. I have been taking iron though since I found out that I am pregnant as my husband told me that its best to do it because my children will be 23 months apart and they take a lot of iron.

My son won the Fresh Face of Howard Centre the other day and we were so happy. He won a huge colour photo of him that I think is an a2 size.. two a threes fit together. I have always been too scared to enter him cos I am scared he will become famous… ha ha ha. Now he is famous there I guess. I am going to enter him into some more competitions I guess.. he has better luck than me, or so it seems.

My dad rebooked my ticket for next month. He has put his foot down and refuses to look after me past 18 weeks. I don’t blame him, but I am upset at the same time. I hope that a job does come my way.

H buzz I hope that you had a great Eid.. Eid Mubarak to you and your family. My parents kindly took me out for prawns last night.. a huge luxary that they couldn’t really afford, but my dad insisted because I wouldn’t have celebrated otherwise.

I hope that all of you girls are doing well. I am still having iron/ low blood pressure/ very high pulse problems. I haven’t had any more bleeding thank heavens. Going to get my first gynae appointment booked on Monday when I have my scan. I had to wait a while for my referral letter from my gynae in order to get into Groote Schuur. Kimika can you please change my edd to 18 march. Thanks. Oh and Emsmom my son was born on the 8th of April 2009…. It’s an awesome date to have a baby. Ha ha ha.

Chat soon and sorry for the long post.

Hugs
