If I start vomming I struggle to swallow pregnacare; but that's when you need it most.

Anyone else's bladder twangy / cystitussy?

Jet black musket balls....

rescoonetwothree · 03/08/2013 22:00

is there a pregnancy vitamin without iron - you'd think they'd do a pregnacare without iron as thats all I've read about it, unless they do and i've missed it

things to look forward to.. Hmm. : www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1d2v7i/parents_of_reddit_what_is_the_creepiest_thing/

IceNoSlice · 03/08/2013 22:04

I had iron supplements after having DS. No bugger told me about the black poo thing. I wasn't expecting it and asked my midwife if it was normal Blush

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 03/08/2013 22:22

Grey some of those are funny! and some are really scary!
My DD14 does weird shit like that in her sleep. Her worst was a full on impression of the girl from 'The Ring', sleep walking, long lank hair, standing staring at me when I turned on the light, and chuckling evilly when I told her to go back to bed!

Sarahb8990 · 03/08/2013 22:39

I go away for a few days and Wow! already on to thread 3 and 180+ posts!! Just caught up on everything.
Sorry to hear about people going thru bad times :-(
Regarding test I won't be having any as I believe what will be will be and ill be blessed either way.
Iv got a scan on Monday which I'm looking forward too as last one it was too early to see baby.

choc I had a bit of cystitis yesterday, but I think i hadn't had enough to drink... is it a symptom of pregnacare then?

Coolhand · 03/08/2013 22:50

little think it's just common in pregnancy full stop.

I've started to suffer from restless leg syndrome when sitting/lying in bed. I suffered from it last time around and cramps in my legs/feet but had forgotten about it - they would wake me up in the middle of the night. I think it's relatively common - I wonder if it means I'm deficient in something.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 03/08/2013 23:01

I didn't have any tests with my other PGs, but this time I am just not sure. I am 38, DP is 42. We need to think long term.

LyraSilvertongue · 03/08/2013 23:10

Isn't cramp a sign of potassium deficiency or have I just made that up? Eating bananas is supposed to help.

LyraSilvertongue · 03/08/2013 23:11

I'm not sure what I'd do if tests delivered bad news. I'd have to seriously consider the impact it would have on my DSs quality of life. Praying it doesn't come to that.

JK10 · 04/08/2013 00:56

captain wishing u lots of luck in the future, so sorry to hear that.

gawjus fab news

brighton welcome and I love Brighton!!

saggy wicked sense of humour!! Love it!

lyra I'm with ya hun, constantly tired, driving me insane, seem to of lost my mojo. I'm usually so busy. I thought maybe i was anaemic as I was with ds1 and I'm vegetarian but I take the vege pregnacare which contain iron but no folic acid so can't think it's that. Just wanna snap out of it!

sarah good luck for Monday!

I have a christening tomorrow so must get to sleep, night

rosyryan · 04/08/2013 06:50

Ugh. A pregnant woman should not be at work this early on a Sunday. It should be against the law.

SoSurprised · 04/08/2013 07:09

We only have one bathroom in our apartment and it's already becoming a HUGE problem. I can barely hold on as it is, dnt know how that's gna go with time.

SoSurprised · 04/08/2013 07:10

Rosyryan that is such an early start! My sympathies

MummyPig24 · 04/08/2013 08:00

captain sorry to hear of your loss.

I'm taking folic acid and vitamin D. That's all. I haven't had iron problems in previous pregnancies so hoping it will be ok.

We also only have one bathroom in our house, we are used to it though. Not good when dh is in the bath and I'm desperate for a poo!! I won't do that in front of him!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekends. We had friends over for a bbq yesterday, my heart wasn't in it though and they were 2 hours late!!

MummyPig24 · 04/08/2013 08:10

I forgot! I got my scan date through, 7th September! The cost of 3 photos is £10! Couldn't believe that. At the other hospital there is a donation of £2.

Dabarai · 04/08/2013 08:42

Hello everyone, please may I join in? I am 35 and currently pg with our first, 10 +2 and baby is due on 28th Feb. Waiting on scan on Tuesday 20th August, before firstly first appointment with a midwife on Friday - trying to think about things I would like to ask her about - all websites advise you to make a list, but I don't really have that many questions! Have any of you been to see the midwife yet? How did the visit look like?

PiratesMam · 04/08/2013 08:46

We had a late-ish one too as went to a friends birthday party and the kids went to bed late, and we all woke up at 8am which is an epic lie-in for us! Still in bed now so sympathies rosy on such an early start on a Sunday. I don't know how we'll cope when term starts in Sept and DS starts school

My hospital is starting to charge for scan pics too, although they were meant to last time and the lady behind the desk just let everyone have them for free Grin

Rockchick1984 · 04/08/2013 08:50

Welcome Dabarai and congratulations! First midwife appointment was mostly her going through medical history for both me and DH then urine dip and blood test. She will ask you where you want to give birth so have a think about that now. Other than that its only if there's anything you need advice on - symptoms, medications etc. In most areas you can always call the community midwives if you need any help or advice so get their phone number :)

Wow Mummypig that's a lot, ours are £2 as well but free when I've had early scans :)

I'm still struggling to eat much of anything, which is not like me at all although for tea the other night we had Indian and although the curry made me want to barf, poppadoms, mango chutney and raita went down a treat :) strangely my mum lived on ham and mango chutney butties when she had me so she's now convinced this bean is a girl. When I had DS my appetite was huge, and all I wanted was steak, now the idea of meat is awful!!!

FrankelInFoal · 04/08/2013 08:53

Thanks for the Omega advice. I'm taking Pregnacare but I've checked the box and it doesn't say anything about containing Omega so I'll go supplement hunting tomorrow. The midwife said to stay clear of cod liver oil as it contains too much Vit A.

rosyryan · 04/08/2013 09:05

Its Pregnacare Plus that contains the Omega 3 Frank Smile

PiratesMam · 04/08/2013 09:25

Welcome Dabarai! The kind of thing I will ask midwife is can I still use toddler back carrier when preg, birth plan etc - specifically that my first two were born back-to-back so I think this one is likely to as well !

Dabarai · 04/08/2013 09:55

Thanks Rockchic and PiratesMam! I was started to get paranoid that I am a total dumbo, as I had not that many things to ask. Just shows how much little I know about all that pregnancy stuff. Have no idea about birth plans, I have a glorified idea of me floating peacefully in water while giving a birth to a small, instantly clean baby... But probably would settle for any drugs possible, if needed!

Sarahb8990 · 04/08/2013 09:57

Re the price of scan pics, when I was scanned for my ds 6years ago they were 3 for £10 so I'm dreading how much they are going to be now.
