I had my beautiful daughter, Sharla, by caesar on 4 October 2008 (She was breech). Having the caesar slowed down my recovery somewhat but now that she is 5 weeks old, I'm feeling more active. I put on 16kg throughout the pregnancy and lost 11kg of that within 2 weeks. I jumped on the scales this morning and have since gained 2kg so I'll have to start watching what I'm eating which is hard as we've had loads of visitors who have 'popped in for coffee & cake"!

I'm now 18 weeks preggers and feeling fantastic! The belly is rapidly expanding though and I already look about 6 months! It's been much more tiring this time round with a 3 year old to run around after too.

Everyone reckons I'm having a girl because of my shape (I'm carrying quite high) but they all said that last time too and I ended up having a boy so I'm thinking it's a boy just in case everyone else is wrong. I'm having my 20 week scan on 2 June and am tempted to find out what I'm having but I also like the surprise so will try to resist the urge to find out!

Hope your baby bumps are continuing along nicely:)

Hello fellow mums and mums-to-be!

I'm nearly 8 weeks pregnant and due Oct 17. After having my son through IVF 3 years ago after being diagnosed with PCOS, my hubby & I miraculously conceived this bub naturally after suffering a miscarriage, a blighted ovum (where the sac forms but the foetus doesn't) and an ectopic pregnancy. I fully believe it was due to a change of diet and that I got off my butt and started exercising!

I'm taking my daily dose of Elevit and eating as much fresh fruit & vegies as possible with some meat & low fat diary. Need to drink more water though as I've been feeling more thirsty. Have cut out caffeine, alcohol and the listeria high-risk foods. I have also cut my exercise regime down from jogging & body pump to doing brisk walking and body balance which is a mix of yoga, pilates & tai chi.
Once daylight savings ends, I hope to do some swimming at a local indoor pool.

I'm battling that drained/tired feeling at the moment and experiencing mild queasiness but after having 2 miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy in the past 2 years, I'm taking it all as good signs everything is progressing as it should!

Keep us posted with your progress:)

am having a very boring day so i thought i'd just post a small hello to anybody who happens to pop in!

HELLO!

Congrats on the news Angel

I am looking forward to this in the future
