I haven't been in here for a long time, and am suprised at all the NZers now! I am based in west Auckland, in Titirangi, but my specialist was Stephen Kruger on the shore, so I delivered there.
my kids are now 7, 4 and 2 and although I would love another, we have decided it is just too hard on everyone to go thru another pregnancy.
I did find my 3rd baby easier than the boys, but I was still sick the whole time. I treated it very agressively in the first trimester which helped, but my 3rd trimester was bad due to damage to my osophegus.
I got really prepared. I bought clothes for the kids, xmas presents, birthday gifts, toys to entertain the other 2, food for africa. I baked and froze meals and then I hired home help to do cleaning and washing etc. it made me feel much better about laying around alot!
I hope your pregnancy is at least better this time! doesn't sound like it could get much worse anyway!
if you want to get in touch, let me know?
