Arrgh I sooo wanted to wish all the best for Amyboo... too late now I suppose! Internet was down last night and I couldn't come back on
Anyway, I really hope it's all going well and you will soon be holding a healthy mini-amyboo in your arms!
Louise I'm glad you came to a decision that feels right to you, and that the health people respected it! Are you going anywhere exciting for your leave?
Memory sorry you are feeling so awful. Re the iron problem... do you like pomegranates? When my mum was pregnant with me, she was travelling around India/Pakistan/Afghanistan/Persia, and when she was not too well a local midwife advised her to eat a pomegranate a day. Turns out they are very high in iron and given that they also contain vitamin C, it makes your body be able to "digest" all the iron properly, too. Maybe it would help for you too?
Unbuffy welcome! And congratulations! Am right now officially transferring all the sticky vibes that Hoops has been hoarding to her own frustration, over to you and everybody else who needs them. Jollster don't worry, we'll take good care of her, regardless of her knickers .
sarahlou you are officially not supposed to do that kind of work! (That's what I tell DP anyway, whenever he asks me to do something I don't feel like doing ). No seriously, DO take care of yourself. Some things can wait until later.
DomesticGOddess you must be very relieved! Good news! Ah, I think the second half of October is going to be very busy here, with five due dates within a week!
Effilump I know what you mean about getting confused! Most people don't waste much thought on the question of having/not having the nuchal scan. It's just one of those things you do when you're pregnant. But some of us spend ages weighing up the pro's and con's... Yet, just because some of us do, doesn't mean YOU have to. As I said, my main reason for having the NT scan was that I figured that way I'd get to see my baby for longer. I personally think that is a perfectly valid reason .
My 20 week scan is coming up... I can't believe I'm half way already! I haven't been experiencing any stretching pains anymore recently, and guess what - I started worrying . I even dreamt that I had a bath, the bath water turned all pink, and when I stood up I realised I was bleeding heavily, and just knew I was miscarrying. We're a strange lot, we crazy bunch... we worry and moan when we experience perfectly normal pregnancy symptoms, and we moan and worry when we don't. You can't win, can you?
