Yesterday I spoke to my friend and she was all in tears due to the fact that she needs to go for her 20 week scan but due to the covic 19 her husband is not allowed in with her at the scan. She was in tears. It there first baby and he can’t go in with her. I felt it with her. Today she’s going for her scan I am not just thinking for her but all mothers that need to do this alone now.

Your body is made for this mommies to be
With all my ups and down on normal birth vs c section. All the information some un wanted information. Some information that made me scared to even have the baby. Don’t forget the over thinking of things. That’s the worst part of it all.
All I can say is that what must be will be and that’s how it is. If you meant to have normal birth you will if a c section is ment for you then so it will be.
People talked to be about having the baby and how painful it is to go into labor. I just thought I won’t be able to do this. One friend gave me the best advice and saying to me body is made for this so it doesn’t matter what your mother instink will kick in and you will know when to do what and how to handle any pains of labor.
So ladies this is my advice to all of you if it’s your first time having a baby just know that your body is made for this your mother in stinks will kick in so don’t worry about what people tell you just know this!
C Section vs Normal birth
The question when it comes to pregnancy is how will I deliver my baby? Do I want a c section or normal birth?
In my case I went through all the emotions of how will I have my baby. I went to read up on all the information I could get. I first went thought c section then I started to read and then normal and then it went back to c section and by then I was just confused.
Some people go around and say if you don’t give normal birth you not a women so all of this played off in my mind.
I spoke to my doctor and she advised me that the safest option is normal birth for mom and baby but it’s all up to you.
So what did I have???? Keep reading my next blog post…..
Packing for hospital – Delivery time
Okay, ladies I got a list of things I had to pack to go to hospital. Like every time I go to the shops to picks up something I will be okay I still need this. After awhile I decided let me just do the check on the list and then see what else I need to get.
With me thinking every time I need to get this I had double of things. I know now they say that women start to forget things when they pregnant but I understand that saying now!
Did you pack everything on the list? What was your most important item on the list? What did you forget? Share with us so that we can help other ladies also.
Black Friday while pregnant
Well as it is and baby needs to come now the advice I got from everyone is walk walk walk and more walking and don’t forget to clime the stairs. With this advice I just did that. I walked all over every evening I went walking climbing stairs.
With Black Friday coming up I thought well they said walk so I might as well keep walking hahahaha. I walked up and down in Checkers only bought nappies wait let me tell you this I went twice back to go buy nappies on the Black Friday deal hahahaha.
They said walk so I walked in every shop I didn’t buy beside the nappies but I walked as per the advice I got but still he didn’t want to come.
Being atmitted in hospital what does the nurses say mommy you will have to go climb the stairs. I thought to myself but I went to climb the stairs.
He still decided no I am not coming now so I have no idea if walking and climbing stairs do help but hey what do you have to loose nothing just maybe you lucky and the baby comes.
Running during pregnancy…..
I was busy running when I found out I was pregnant hahahaha not in so many words as I said it. I was running when my heartburn just started off bad i had to run and stop run and stop and so it went on for 5 kilometers. I did finish the 5k but walking.
After the run I told my husband that I think we need to take a test and so we did and that’s the story……
After that running was so hard for 9 months never mind the heartburn it was the going to the bathroom that made me stop running. The only run I got was running to the bathroom.
I wanted to exercise but that was not possible for me but I was still running around at work and to the bathroom all day long let me not forget evenings also.
What exercises could you do during pregnancy ?
Food during morning sickness
This is a hard one what to eat during the time of morning sickness or in my case a whole 9 months of morning sickness.
I heard such a lot of stories now from women that goes through morning sickness and what they can eat so I am just going to share what I heard many just maybe if you in this situation you can’t try as something will work for you.
Mine was Steers of McDonalds chips
Bran muffin from Woolies
Soap
Ginger biscuits
Cereal like Oats
I hope that one of the above will work for you. let me know more on what’s worked for you ????
Pregnancy – Morning Sickness
I don’t know how to say that my pregnancy was hard. I had morning afternoon and night sickness no one can tell me about morning sick as I had it all day all night long for 9months. I could not stand the smell off food no meat I turned vegetarian. When my husband made food and I opened the pot I never ran so fast to the bathroom. He had to close the room door so that I could not get a food smell. Let’s not talk about heartburn. I know all about that at times I didn’t know if I felt like bringing up due to heartburn smell off food or just feeling sick. The only thing that stayed inside was potato chips like Steers or Mcdonald and only that. Next time when someone complains about morning sickness I will know all about that. I ended up in hospital due to dehydration at 7 month as this is a big risk. I really had a hard pregnancy but all I know is that it makes you stronger in all ways possible.
