Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Ai Kimika I hope things work out. It's not easy to just start anything, especially while you are preggars. I've decided that I'm going to cherish every moment of this pregnancy. With Megan I didn't even had time to write down my feelings etc., and it was over so quickly. I worked my butt off during my pregnancy, arranging events, climbing ladders, setting up, cleaning up etc. etc. without telling anyone I was preggars until way into my pregnancy.

My current boss is very anti pregnant women and women with small babies working so I will see when I tell him as well. I don't really care anyways, but I would like to work until I go on leave so I can claim UIF and then I would like to resign and do photography / selling acorn baby products full time.

I've got my first scan booked for 7 August - can't wait to see jellybean for the first time .

My husband is just too sweet. He came home to today with 2 bottles of bio oil, 3 x bottles of gaviston (lol had heartburn with Megan), 2 x preggie vitamins - the best he could get and this was his FB update today: "Very grateful for all the b day messages. Thank you all very much!!! And thanks to my Vroutjie for what is at this moment is the smallest birth day present I've ever received and thank you in advance for Carrying him/her around for the next 8 months."

I've just decided I've got the most amazing husband he he, must really start appreciating him more.

Sleep tight and hugs to all the growing babies!

Welcome Didi! Ill put your date on the list

Joli, glad you have that sorted out!

Im so down.. things just are not working out for hubby and his studying.. He is going to have to waste a whole 6months before he can start.. long story.. Im tempted to start looking for something else to do to make extra income.. but what?? I hope its just the preggie hormones making me feel so down *sigh*

So I'm feeling a bit better today . No nauseous or nothing.

Kimika - just phoned Marilyn Sher at Genesis - she sounds quite nice. She says I should stay with Dr. Mia as he is very accommodating when it comes to home births or whatever the moms want and I'm seeing them end August when I'm 12 weeks. She also gave me a number of another lady to go to at Genesis for a scan in the mean time - so all is sorted for now - yippee!

Welcome Didi - glad you came over he he. I'm sure you will be fine with your kiddies being so close together.

So what's news girls? Remember to upload some scan pics ne.

Morning ladies

Im new to this thread, as I started another one. Joli was so nice to drop by and correct me. Oooo the porridge brain is kicking in already. I searched for an existing thread before I started mine but didnt see this one.

Anyway, Im 6.3 weeks preggers with nr 2. So excited, although a little worried (Jane - 1st baba turned 1 last week). Ill see my doc in a week to meet bump nr2 on screen. My due date is around 4 March 2011.

I cant stand food at this stage but it's a good thing coz of my weight. I force myself to eat something for the sake of the little one but that's it.

Ag shame man Joli, but dont worry, I think the hormones have their share in how your feeling. Although we planned this pregnancy our timing also is not really great.. hubby is starting Civil Engineering (went to register today), and our business has gone through a bit of a dip so financially not great to have a baby.. hope it looks better in 7 months!!

Why dont you go to genesis?? You are close enough arent you? I would love to go there but the drive from pta might just be tooo far

Taryn, how you been doing?? Still so tired??

Kimika - you are not fat at all man! But I know the feeling. When I fell pregnant with Kayla I was 41kg (I'm short), then when she was born, I was 52kg, I only went down to around 48kg after that and now I'm about 51kg again, so I'm going to be really very careful with what I eat with this pregnancy.

I'm so nauseous from the antibiotics I'm taking. I try not to take it, but as soon as I stop, the skin rash is just all over again! Other than that I'm OK.

I need to find a gynae / midwife urgently. My previous midwife referred me to a gynae, but he can only see me on 6 October and my other gynae is too far to drive to now. Not sure what I'm going to do now. I need to find out how far I am, so would like a scan ASAP. My midwife is also not really practicing anymore, but she has agreed to cover my birth, but now I'm not sure anymore as she doesn't sound very keen. And I would like a home birth, but hubby said it's better to go to a clinic. Argh man. I'm so confused and to top it all, I'm just feeling more teary than happy at stage of my pregnancy and the more I think I'm gonna THREE kids, the worst it's getting. Reality has hit! I know I always said I wanted 3 kids, but the timing is so just not right. I'm sure I feel better tomorrow, so don't mind me!

Congrats ladies all the best with your pregnancies!

Taryn don't stress to much about when you got your bfp I got mine dpo twins paisley got hers 8dpo singleton vix got her bfp i think two days after af was due and with twins maybe your body goes in overdrive with hormones hehe

Goodluck to all!
