Hadn't thought of this! When is the cup final????

Helsbels · 14/06/2004 12:54

think 4th of July!!

sweetkitty · 14/06/2004 13:02

I'm hoping to be a July mum as well. Due 4th Aug.

Toothache · 14/06/2004 13:12

Helsbels - That's okay then.... I'll be 36wks so probably a bit early.

sponge · 14/06/2004 13:19

Yup, I'm aiming to creep into July too. Also due August 4th.
Don't really want to be as early as the cup final though as we'll be on a plane back from a wedding in France that day so it would be awkward .
Chickpea I'm glad someone else is as mad as me. I finish work on July 30th and and am due 5 days later.

sweetkitty · 14/06/2004 16:00

sponge you know we have just cursed ourselves to be still on the Due in August thread for most of August now!

Celou · 14/06/2004 17:29

Hi guys, I'm due July the 12th.

serenequeen · 14/06/2004 17:33

btw, sc, you've got me down twice on your list. i was fka bossykate but have now changed my name.

madgirl · 14/06/2004 18:07

blimey, i didn't realise that serenequeen!!

SpringChicken · 14/06/2004 18:15

Well bugger me I wondered where you had gone BK! God, my brain is like mush - How ling have you been Serenequeen?

Feeling completely shattered today - so glad i finish work 2 weeks Friday - not sure i can last that long though - this heat is just taking everything out of me at the mo.

On a good note though - found out at the weekend that my DB and his girlfriend are getting married - i am soooo excited i could burst - i am the only one that knows at the mo as they are telling everyone at the weekend when we all get together! Better get shopping for a posh frock and a hat

Quackers · 14/06/2004 23:27

Hiya!!!! Loads of us on here now and the first due in 21 days!!! It's really exciting now!! I'm just over 33 weeks so expect to be waydown the list yet!!!
Hey BK, glad you told us, we'd never have known that!!! Hope you;re ok!
Just starting washing all the old stuff and trying to get a few things tog for my labour and baby bags etc... Getting there but slow!!! Have got DD all this week as it;s TT week over here. She's been so good bless her. Hope it continues!

Suddenly it doesn't seem so far away...
2 friends had their babies in the last week, both girls, I felt a long way behind them until now!!!!

littlerach · 15/06/2004 14:32

Just had call from MW and my iron levels are down so I have had to get iron tablets. Anyone else had these?

Toothache · 15/06/2004 14:38

I had to take Iron Tabs at the beginning of my pg with ds. It was fine apart from the constipation!! They made me really constipated, so the Doc prescribed a laxative too.

serenequeen · 15/06/2004 16:48

littlerach, may i strongly recommend you try floradix rather than pregaday or other prescription iron. toothache is right, iron supplements can cause utterly miserable constipation. floradix is much kinder to your insides and is also recommended as an effective iron supplement. what is your haemoglobin level btw?

madgirl · 15/06/2004 19:20

ditto what s/queen said. i had low iron with ds, so took iron tabs and started drinking masses of fruit juice to make me "go" and then got borderline gestational diabetes! lol. so drink masses and masses of water whatever you do. but, nothing to worry about littlerach x

littlerach · 15/06/2004 20:40

Not sure what my haemoglobin levels are, thanx for all comments. I haven't suffered from onstipation at all - veggie diet!! - usually the opposite!!

SpringChicken · 16/06/2004 18:28

Psssttt........ Don't mean to excite anyone but i have been having period pains from about 10.30 this morning.

Have no other symptoms but feel rough as pig sh*t with horrid period pains.
Am going to leave work shortly so i can home and lie on my nice comfy sofa!

Fingers crossed
Springchicken 36wks

serenequeen · 16/06/2004 18:31

crikey, sc! 36wks is a little early, sweetie, so keep your legs crossed! keep walking around if you can. good luck. hope all is well.

sweetkitty · 16/06/2004 19:16

Quackers · 16/06/2004 23:39
