Re: Moms 2012- 2013
but what if you misdiagnose yourself?
I know you studied to be a doctor and all but sweetie I don't think just because you went through med school that you should treat yourself and assume you know best.
A second opinion is a must imo.
now don't throw daggers at me just because I'm telling you to go see a practicing doctor for a second opinion!
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
^ haha. I do consult with other doctors :):) and I keep a check on my blood and urine. Z's khala is a practicing gynaecologist for over twenty years. I consult with hr :)

Mirage told me that I had failed to inform people of this. That she just learned about sleeping on left side. :P I didn't know I had not mentioned it since I have been doing it myself since beginning of pregnancy. Perhaps I mentioned it here, or in my blog. Now just making sure that pregger women know abt it here
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
^thats nice that you told here....many small things/steps makes a big difference in pregnancy....
girls please sleep on leftside....n never sleep on your back!
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
So I was wondering ladies how will you combat with the heat once your baby comes out..? AC is obviously no good for the kid so will it be light clothes?
and have you guys looked at this?
Miracle Blanket Swaddling Is An Off-Switch For Crying Babies.
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
35 weeks and counting Mashallah, and sleeping has become sooo difficult ... sigh... even sleeping on my side is uncomfortable and lying on the back is unbearable so i don't even try that. I'm not getting proper sleep anymore...
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
I also went to the mall today and bought two extra small tops (my size before pregnancy). My mother gently reminds me every now and then that i won't snap back to a size 0 right after delivery. Im being stupid and stubborn.
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
^best of luck tranquil!
may allah bless you with healthy baby and easy delivery ameen!
aww sorry for distuebed sleep....actually you are getting ready for some sleepless nights when baby will arrive;)
and yes it will take time for you to get back in shape....
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
its a pretty exxaggerated claim. God help you if you have a baby with colic. its a nightmare, and no amount of swaddling is going to help. its one of those things you just have to ride out until they grow out of it.
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
There is nothing like a first time mommy… I see myself in s many of these posts when I was preg the first time around
So dreamy
so full of ideas and what to do and not do
oh the planning
Now a second time mom, I smile reading this thread
And think… So naiive 
All the best to all the mothers to be…may you all get easy breezy babies 
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
I just got back from a holiday at 24 weeks, I think I am aneamic as i am having shortness of breath, sooo tired and sleepy all the time which is very unlike me. I am already uncomfortable at night and am just not looking forward to further discomft in the coming weeks.
InshAllah you all get through your pregnancies and labour fit and well.
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
^ you might be anemic, so definitely have that checked out, but what you're describing is basically... well, thats being pregnant :)
and you're mA 6 months along now and thats pretty much what happens. rest as often as you can and take care of yourself.
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
Yes I had my bloods dne again today, i had them done 2 weeks ago also before going away but i received a letter to have them done again. The results will take a few days to come back, i am quite certan i am anaemic but we will see what the results say. I am trying to rest when I can, have to really as i just can't do things normally and carry, and schools re open tomorrow!!!
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
^ the shortness of breath is due to a hormone progesterone and that is normal. Also your lungs (as with all your organs) have restricted space due to a growing uterus and baby.
Re: Moms 2012- 2013
And it is such a torment learning to accustom my body to lie on my let now, when I have passed about five months being on my back the best in order not to crush my baby or make it feel uncomfortable if I lie on either side 
I have to excuse to my baby now for not being mindful of lying on my left before. I know my baby lost much of the energy because I didnt take care of this earlier. And Aunt Dem is to blame 
(this is on record just incase 
)
