APRIL 2014 - MOM's TO-BE :)

Good to know hairinideep your scan went well it's such a relief. I am next in 2 days!! I am soo excited and sooo nervous. I don't know which feeling is major
why don't you try online shops for maternity clothes? firstcry.com , babyoye.com or momandme ?

 

Hi
for all moms in india,
for all those thinking to buy maternity clothes in india from momandme and bigger shops.

My personal opinion is not to buy too many costly clothes from shops..legging and tunic/kurta or loose salwar should be fine...

cos i really wonder what if u get back to pre- pregnancy size sooner then this would go waste thinkingsmiley.

again its your call....

 

Hi ladies,

All fine.

Anitha,

Thanks for the wishes. Sarkarai pongal and pal payasam came out too good for ausha homam of DD and all went well.

Ohh you had a strenuous day yesterday. Take care and do no strain too much. Seeing our kids, we forget everything, so true.

I am also having terrible back aches, above abdomen, below bra button..

Shruthi,

I used it. Like I said, it may or may not prevent stretch marks. Like in my case it didn't, but it really helps with no itchiness and keeping belly moisturized. i would recommend it.
As far as my stretch marks, they are light, but they wont disappear, they will become light in few years. Like I always say, its my badge of honor for becoming a mother

Aarti,

Welcome back. Hope all is good.

Harini,

So happy that all went well with scan. Iron counts reducing is very normal in 5th month.Ask your doctor to recommend iron tablets, as blood flow increases a lot for growing baby.

My diet is not so healthy. I cook whenever possible, otherwise eat out at work. No option.

I didn't buy too many maternity clothes during my first pregnancy also, got soem handed down from sis.
This time re-using those.
I also have a bella band from target to wear on existing pants and clothes. You can google it online.

Divya, how are you?

Chinnap, how about you?

 

same here anitha, sometimes i cant sit for too long. my hip pains while sittig so either i have to stand or sleep.. again while sleeping it isnt easy switching sides.... bathroom visits i can never forget....

 

Hi Ladies

Myself Vidhya based out of CT , USA. Am new to this club. I work full time and right now doing WFH as I had to travel an hour. That's a short intro about me
This is my first baby and I had lot of questions and this really helpmed me out in lot of info.

I have a question with Pregnancy pillow. Do you guys recommend a brand that I can go for? Recently I started getting one side pain and thinking I should may be get one? Please advice.

 

Hi gals ,
Anitha - take care of ur health ... such a long journey u had
SC - Yes I am taking iron tablets .. but i forgot sometimes to take it ..ll take regularly hereafter
Natcdm - I use full body pillow.. It does not support my back ache .. But supports my tummy as I tend to sleep over my tummy in deep sleep... U shaped pillow is better than full body pillow i think as it supports back too.. I dont remember brand and i got mine in india

 

Hi Ladies,

How are u all doing? I was busy with work for the past few days and cudnt login here.
Weather is getting bad . Its 0 F here , i fully pack myself with thermals and ski mask .

SM,
Good that ur temple visit went well. Do u have a week of christmas holidays? i have only one day . Btw do u still use ur pre preg topd and t shirts? because i still use them and easily fit into it. one wa i am happy but i am concerned too .
i ordered greco travel system during black friday sale.

Anitha, Yeah travel in this wind and snow is just unbelievable. Good that u have wfh option too . How are ur parents coping up with the cold?They are used to it now?

Harini, The weather in bangalore shd be great rite? enjoy. Christmas time would be best to shop there , u can get many things on sale. Good to know that ur scan went well. Yes if it is a gal u can dress her well and get cute clothes.

Natcdm, welcome to the club.

Chinnap and T2bmom, hope u are doing great
