Welcome to July 2013 Babies

oh that sounds tiring Anna :( perhaps try online Chrissy shopping? I did that last year since I had a 3 month old, and was fabulous! Plus I got the joy of receiving all the gifts in the post before wrapping them up, so was really like someone was sending me heaps of pressies haha.

Have you tried aqua aerobics? I loved it with my first pregnancy and will start that up again soon. Also at about 20 weeks I started yoga weekly which was wonderful, not just for your body, but great breathing and relaxation techniques for coping with labour - was much more helpful than what we learnt at ante natal classes. I'm pretty sure we aren't supposed to do anything jarring to the body, like running etc - nice excuse :)

Hi, glad to hear that for some of you there are days when evil morning sickness has loosened its grip and that you don't feel pregnant, I'm at 8 weeks tomorrow and am so looking forward to morning sickness easing off. Hopefully it will have by Christmas day. A day where food tastes norma and my stomach was still would be great:-).
On my things to do list is aqua aerobics and yoga but I haven't looked into yet. I cycle every day and I really am not looking forward to the day when I will need to stop that. Have not thought about jogging but would have to invest in a new bra I think. Half of my bras don't fit now and I also miss my skinny jeans. Haven't dared tried shopping for clothes.

atleast with summer we can wear flowy dresses and hope the wind doesn't wrap round our bellies :) haha
Yeah I tried my normal running when I suspected I was pregnant but hadn't been to the doc yet and got all fainty and ran out of breath - that was not usual! Swimming and yoga didn't keep me toned, but it probably saved my body looking worse than it would have. I decided that my body would just have to sacrifice its shape for a year or so for the babys sake. I think after this baby I'll get a personal trainer and go hard for a few months before going back to a normal esercise routine. My midwife kept telling me that rest was the best thing, and not to over exercise, but that light exercise was good throughout pregnancy. Swimming made me feel good, and yoga helped get me relaxed, and the instructor taught us how to relieve those discomforts that come in later pregnancy with sore hips, bums etc which stop a good nights sleep. Yeah Anna I think it's quite important you go to a pregnancy yoga class.

Hi Nikkie, you click on the members name and a drop down box shows the private message option

Hi ladies
Hope you are all having a good day!
I am really struggling through the days at the moment - im just so tired, bloated, heavy & sore b00bs and feeling so nauseous. I seem to be a lot worse in the evenings so have been getting home from work and not moving from the couch until bed time. Poor hubby I have been so moody :(
Im just hoping that in a couple of weeks time I will be feeling a bit better so that I can enjoy the christmas celebrations.
Only 5 1/2 days of work left to go until our office closes down for a 3 week break - cant wait!

Hi! Congrats to all the otehr girls :) i'm 8 weeks today and feeling crappy most of the time (except for being excited of course). everything is a bit of a struggle....its like a constant hangover without the great night before! so its great to hear how others are feeling around this time too :) Would i be able to have the private password too?

Hi ladies, I am almost 12 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby. Very excited we have our 1st scan next week. its a bummer my DP cant come to it as our worker will be on holidays and the scan is a 2 hour drive away. I am due 5th July! Seems so far away! Nausea is starting to go away thank goodness still throwing up a few times a day but I can handle that.
I would like the password to private forum if possible please.
Thanks hope everyone is ready for Christmas!!

Hi Nikkie, I was feeling exactly the same as you, its a particularly hard time for all of us because its christmas time!!! which is such an ideal time to share happy news :) I have my 12 week scan tomorrow (officially 12 weeks Dec. 22nd) and have decided that if all is well n good at the scan I am just going to tell everyone :) I have had this a secret since finding out at 4.5 weeks long and it has been the longggessstttt time of my life!! A few ppl know (my parents, DPs sister etc) but majority of ppl no. I felt a bit more secure after talking to my midwife and she said in her entire career she has only had one person at high risk after results, she had further tests and everything fine... So I am just going to hope and pray that all is good :) As over this period too results prob. will take ages to get back to us! hope this helps a bit but on the other hand, if you want to wait for peace of mind, think of it as you have waited so long anyway whats a few more weeks?
LouLou - are you excited about tomorrow!!!
Welcome newbies!! and congrats :) :)

Hi Anna,

Thanks for sharing. Good to know you are also going through the same. My midwife also said that same and honestly I really want to tell my parents. I havent told them even as last one ended in a miscarriage.

I think I will go with the flow and tell my family next Friday after the scan and leave the rest to God and fate.

You must be so excited about tomorrow. Goodluck and here's hoping all of us a healthy pregnancy.

Cheers
Nikkie.
