August ’07 Mums to be

Lil Nut Nuts mum - don't be paroniod about not having MS yet. Some woman are VERY lucky & don't experience it much, if at all! You maybe one of them! Also it's still early days it may not come on for another week or so.

But I must admit I feel the same - I thought my MS would be in full swing by now but I'm feeling pretty good so far. I too am paronoid a bit as my sister had a miscarriage in 2005 & so I'm more conscience it can happen to anyone. I'm going to contact my MW next week to make an appointment with her & get a scan form to have a scan soon for reassurance & check dates.

Hang in there!!

Hey, my name is Kandice and I'm due 23rd august...
I'm 20 years old and this is my first.
Iv got really bad sickness its not in the morning tho... More afternoon and evening!

And I'm so tired i feel like i could sleep for a week!!

I live in Christchurch and would love to meet other mums to be around my age!

I'm 25 and live in Auckland, so there are a few of us around, just pretty spread out geographically!

Yvette is right, I find ginger beer really good for the nausea and also soda water for some reason. DH brings me a ginger nut in bed first thing in the morning (that's when I'm sick usually) for me to nibble on and I find that helps a bit as well - maybe give that a go? Basically anything that raises your blood sugar level will reduce the nausea.

I've started spewing now

It's so disgusting. I thought I could handle just feeling yuk, but now actually being sick is not cool! The last two mornings i've ended up bringing back up breakfast.

Off to the shops to buy some gingernuts I think!!

You girls are lucky the whole ginger thing works for you, it didn't help me at all with my last 2 pregnancies. I'm just starting now to feel a little yuck, not too bad though. The tiredness is more of a pain. Going to Queenstown for a few days next week so hope the MS holds off till after then, though can fully see myself throwing up on the plane!!

My husband runs his own decorating business, I stay at home with the kids & do a bit of office work, wages, PAYE etc. Not the most thrilling job, he hates it actually, but it pays the bills.

I'm an assistant to a group of architects, it's a lot of fun (most of the time!) but really busy so even at the best of times I get tired.

Another girl who works here went down to four days per week when she was about 5 months pregnant, I will keep that in mind I think. Luckily my boss is awesome about pregnancies and things.

I had a cousin that did not qualify for maternity leave and there lil boy was not planned and they were fine, it is amazing how much stuff and help you get from other people.

Things have a way of working out in the end.

I know we are going to have to drop our mortgage payments

I'm a primary school teacher (thank god for these holidays!!) and hubby is an Engineer. I'm 29 he's 31, so a wee bit older than a few of you other girls, but just as nervous and new to it all!!!!

At this stage I'm planning on taking the full year off, then I might just go back relieving 2 days a week. All depends on money I guess!

Babytyme, did they say anything more about the tear?
