hello everyone how i got through last week without you (computer went down) i will never know. now this 1 is horrid but constipation is at its worst so much so i thought my body was in shocklast week. i am now 13 weeks pregnant i think as 1st scan is tommorrow. its also my second child. i have recently been told that my iron levels are really low, i am now taking 400 folic acid and 600mg ferrous sulphate every day. this wasnt good news as i know what will happen in the 'toilet department' no amount of water or fibre gel helps and gp just say there nothing they can do as i need the iron. GREAT!!!!
i seem to get really bad eczema as well during pregnancy and i have clawed my legs to bleeding point in my sleep the other night. gp has just said keep using e45 which has really peed me off as i was given steroid creams during my last pregnancy for eczema.
maybe i should ask to see another gp but my hormones have really kicked in and i cry at EVERYTHING so im really put off going back. anyone got any suggestions or just want to join me in a whine about pregnancy issues?
