Mekha replied. Hello there!
How are you guys doing? I am very tired.
Nice to read all your comments here.
I had an u/s last week and it was wonderful to see little one. I have an appointment with my doctor next week. She may do the GD test and i am so nervous about it. Sakhi, Wow you are going to india... you must be so excited. well, Have a wonderful journey. Padmaja, Nice to know that your mom is here. I am just waiting for my mom to be here. She will go to the consulate next month. Hope there won't be any problem getting visa. I haven't going for physical therapy anymore. She told me to do some exercises everyday and i am just following it at home whenever i could. Jyotsna, how are you? Hope you are in good health.
Take care you all!
Padmaja replied. Its been a while since I saw any body posting here, hope you are all doing fine. Sakhi, good luck with your vacation. Once you come back probably you can re-schedule childirth classes again, check with the provider. What happened with your blood results? I am sure everything is normal, keep us posted.Weight gain I guess is fine for you.
Jyotsna, how are you feeling now, take care of your health. Drink only boiled water and don't eat outside food. I am sure you are back to your normal self by now.Let me know how your classes are going on, I will be starting in few days.Did you get hold of the book your health consultant suggested?
Coming to my side, I am soon going into 8th month, discomforts have become part of my day! My mom got here few days back and I am really happy to have her here. Guess it will take little time to settle down for her.Right now I am enjoying all the sweets and pickles she got!
How are you doing mekha? No news from you, how are your therapy classes coming along.
Take care girls and stay connected.

sakhi replied. Hello all,
I just visited Gynic and she took blood test for GD and hemoglobin testing. She said the result will be available in 2 days but she will only call me for 3 hr screening test if this blood test is not normal, otherwise she will not call. I have scheduled for childbirth classes on next friday. This is first of 3 sessions, but I will be missing next 2 since I will be in India. Lets see if they allow me to attend it with next batch. I have put on total 7.7 kg in my 28 weeks, which I think should be normal.
Jyotsna, take good care of urself since rainy season will catch lot of problems. As far as possible don't eat outside. I am sure u will get back to normal. I am also having some cough, which was again because of change in weather here.
Padmaja, I just have 10 days of my annual leave which I have to take before 1st Sep and they are not postponing that leave so that I can combine that with my maternity leave :( So no choice but to go for 2 weeks to India since I will be very very bored sitting at home for 2 weeks. It will be real hectic trip. But thank got that the flight is just 8 hrs while going and 6 hrs while coming.
Wonder where is Mekha these days? no posting from her for long time.
Keep in touch girls....

jyotsna replied. Hi,
have been down with a stomach viral since 4 days and lost 2 kilos.Getting back on my feet now.NO appetite though.Mumbai and its monsoons can get to ones tummy i guess but ..well.Just as i am recovering,i have now developed a painful stie(right sp????)in one eye which is all swollen.Laugh--i cant get over as to how july has flown.
I went for my 1st lamaze class or rather a pre-natal consultant who runs classes on \";motherhood\";.Since im not a 1st time mom,ive opted out of certain classes on b-feeding and baby care but taken the rest.I got a fresh perspective on delivering the baby and hosp procedures for VBAC's etc and diet etc-yesterday ws an one-to-one class.
She strongly recommended that i read a book on CREATIVE VISUALIZATION by Shakti Gwain.(enables positive affirmations and thoughts).
Padmaja--you enter the 8th month soon..how are u feeling?I think my tummy now looks like a drum(no basketball or watermelon).
Sakhi--pick up cotton stuff from India.Pune used to have a great shop for babies and girls especially called \";Needle Woman\";.This was 5 yrs back and chk with your mom if its still there.
Ive asked my mom and ma-in-law to stich those 'Jabalas or loose mul-mul dresses with strings\"; with old saris.YOu get them in shops as well.
Take care and keep in touch
sakhi replied. Hi Padmaja,
I am ok, just a little bit of breathing problem, part from that everything seems to be normal. My Gynic asked me to come on 27th to do blood test, I am not sure when can we get the result of that test since I am planning to fly to India on 4th. I will be in Pune for 2 weeks and will return back on 19th Aug. I hope the test result should be normal. Even if it shows GD +ve, they will ask me to go for 3 hr scanning. I will also do ultra sound on 27th. Its been 1 month since I last saw my little one.
Ohhh, I am so excited to go to india, I have made list of things to eat ... missing all those here ...
Jyotsna, Mekha how are you doing?
Girls, have you started buying baby items??? Any idea what all things I can get in India? I am planning to buy washable diapers and some baby cloths, any other suggetions?
Keep in touch and take care ...

Hey that is good news, your OBGYN not calling I mean !! Guess your results are normal then. I am glad. Glad your U/S went off well, did you find out the sex of your baby? So are you all set to go to India? Shopping and packing? Have a safe trip and keep us posted on stuff.
I am doing okay, yup my mom being here is definetely a solace. Visa was not an issue, she did not have to go to Madras too as the consulate opened a center in Hyderabad. She got 6 months visa so would be with us till Jan.
I am beginning to feel a bit scared about the delivery part though.Well que sera sera, what ever will be will be....
Wonder whats up with Jyotsna and Mekha, have not seen them much here.
Keep in touch

Hi Padmaja,
Good to know that your mom already with you. My parents will come here only at the end of sept. So you must be very excited now. I am sure you will enjoy all dishes prepared by your mom. Was there any problem getting visa? Because US visa is always a trouble.
For me, my Gynic did not call me for any further test till now, which means my blood test is normal. So now, just preparing for my India trip.... I will try to walk as much as I can in the flight and drink lots of water or juice. Hey, I forgot to mention last time that we also did ultrasound last week and it was wonderful to see little one. We could see face very clearly with the nose, lips and eyes (though eyes were not open). Dr. said, at this time around they check face of the baby for any problem in the lips, if the lips are properly apart from the nose. She was doing her job and we both were enjoying first look of our baby. Dr. said, at 7th month all babies look same but in next month, we would be able to see features specific to genetic.
Jyotsna, how are you feeling now? Mekha and Jyotsna, keep in touch.

I wish I could go to India too, I am really glad for you though. Have a safe flight, try to take walks in the flight, keep your feet up and h2o down ! But how come you are going only for a short trip? Anyways have a wonderful trip
For breathing problem, try keeping your head elivated while sleeping by using 2/3 pillows and eat small meals.
Usually here we get blood results in 2 days, I am sure you will know the results before you take off. U/S is always fun, watching the little one is thrilling every time. In our last U/S we took vedio cassette hoping they would let us record but they did not.
Buy nappies from India for your baby and yes some clothes depending on HK weather at the time of your delivery.
Wonder why we are not seeing Jyotsna and mekha here.

It's a GIRL !!!!!!
Hi all,
I delivered a beautiful baby girl on 23rd November
at around 2 a.m. She weighed at 8lb 13oz & is 21\"; tall. It was a normal delivery, the mom & the baby are doing fine. We named her \";Shreya\";.
My mom and myself decided to put our creative skills and mind to work (optimum use of my maternity leave!) and have come up with these beautiful Quilts-cum-Comforters for Babies and Kids as well as for Adults. I am just spreading the good word around – some kind-av-marketing, you can say! I urge you to check out this stuff on ‘www.indiapare... - Irene Kurdikar [View Message]
our prayers are with you
Dear Jyotsna,
At first congrats to you and your DH for a lovely baby girl. We all pray for Anandita and your family. May god be with you. Don't worry too much, I know its easy to say but hope for the best.
