Yay Gemie for the blue bump!" :happydance:

Also, sorry for the randomness, but soda crystals...! How much did you use, and did you put them in the drum? Did you put it on a 90 wash?

Ta! xxx

Haha it's okay :) I put them in the drum and draw and used a generous amount I then did a 90wash and left the door open afterwards (always) as that really adds to the whiff.

Good luck! X

I had trouble finding this group, too. I did some searching a few times throughout the last two months and finally found it today. So, I've just joined up today, too.

My due date is Nov. 25. Glad to see another November mama!!
 
Oh dear, I have just realised how I missed it now. It was because I was looking in the baby club section! Major baby brain :-S lol.
 
Gemie: I know I already "woo"ed on fb, but WOOOOOOO!!! :hugs:

Welcome Jammers (same due date here! :thumbup: bump buddies!) platinumvague, and rachael!!!! :D

Okay, so yesterday had my first prenatal (second appointment, though, already got to see baby once ;) ), got to see baby again! and got bloods drawn. The midwife told me to take 250mg magnesium for headaches (in particular, migraines) daily, as well as 2000 UI of Vit D3...as most people (at least where I am from) tend to be deficient. Got a call today that my Vit D3 levels are at 23 ng/mL and they are supposed to be ABOVE 30! I looked it up and apparently under 30 is really bad... . I feel sad for my little baby. I'm sure it is taking what it needs, but if I am so deficient maybe the baby is not getting enough. They called this afternoon and told me to take 5000 (!) UI per day instead. I already bought my supplements yesterday, so I already took more when I got home from work. Has anyone else had this deficiency? I am thankful to find out now and that it WILL get corrected...but it takes 2-3 months to rise and stabilize. I just feel like I'm being a bad mama already :( .
 
Rachael, yay - someone with the same EDD as me!

BabyMonkey, I was found to be vitamin D deficient in my first pregnancy, but they've not tested it since, but they now recommend all pregnant and breastfeeding women take it here now. I'd bought myself some a few months back, but it seemed to give me a bad tummy. I need to try another brand. 5000iu sounds about what they suggested to me.

Vitamin D deficiency is VERY common for people who live in areas in the Northern Areas of the world. I am a nutritionist in Seattle and probably 70% of my patients are vitamin D deficient. Don't worry too much!
 
MandaAnda I doubt I'll have the baby anytime near that day. Lol. Both my previous babies didn't want to leave. But I know I'll still get excited from 37 weeks.
 
Babymonkey - I had a vit D deficiency when I wasn't pregnant, but they haven't tested me since I've been preg. I was taking 1000 iuis of vit D before.
And good to know about the magnesium! I am going to ask my midwife about it on Tuesday. My headaches and migraines are not letting up....
 
Rachael, I tell most people "early November" because I know baby will choose its own birthday, and I'm cool with that. :)

I don't believe I am actually going to end up being a Nov Sparkler, seeing as my EDD is 11/1! My son came 10 days before EDD, ripe and ready, so I am sure little one will end up being closer to an October Pumpkin.
 
hello everyone im lauren im 13 weeks pregnant and 5 Days :) im due november the 16th i decided to come join all the november mummies and hope thats okay how is everyone feeling? congratulations to everyone on there pregnancy and i wish use all a happy and healthy 9 months i hope i can get to know use lot :) xx
 
Thanks to those of you who have eased my mind over the vitD. I didn't know it was so common, and I feel better knowing taking my supplements should do just fine, and I'm not too late in doing so. It's just scary when there are so many scientific articles about vitD deficiency and pregnancy complications, etc.

Bubs-yes, definitely ask about the magnesium. They have me started on 250mg per day, but if your headaches are really bad and constant I know they recommend even more. I hope you can try it out and it works!! Keep me posted.
