was sooo good when pg with ds1 - oily fish, supplements, spinach, the works

this time i am sooo laid back i'm afraid i've been eating way too much junk (sugary stuff) and haven't taken supplements - should i start now, or is it too late to make a diff?

only took folic acid multi ones, and constantly forgot to take them, and they made ms worse. MW said not to worry after 12 wks

start taking them if you want. i don't think not taking them will have any adverse effect - your chilled out attitude will have done the lo a power of good! oh, folic acid though.def good idea!

you're fine if you've taken folic acid, the baby will squeeze every little bit of goodness from you, so, even if you are eating crap, they'll still get good bits too

skirmish · 22/03/2007 20:58

you might feel extra crap though

Oh you know what youre having when did you find that out?

Olihan · 22/03/2007 21:15

I was the same with my 2nd pg, took folic acid but nothing else and ate absolute rubbish. I didn't take any supplements the first time but did eat really really well.

3rd time round I took a pg multivitamin and ended up with a 10lbs 2oz baby . The other 2 were only 8 1/2 lbs so I blame the multi vitamins entirely!!

Steer well clear is my advice!

Tutter · 22/03/2007 21:16

then confirmed at anomaly scan 3 weeks ago

Tutter, LVT's got kicked off the computer for 10 minutes by her DH. Therefore, until normal service resumes, I'll be her spokesperson.

Yes, she did.

Sorry got kicked right off - boo hiss. Yes I had an emergency section due to eclampsia.
