Chloe yeah it can affect the position of baby. Midwife told me that of you slouch and lie on your back gravity pushes baby towards your back and can cause them to flip round with their back on your back. Last time I had to spend as much time as possible leaning over my birthing ball to try and get her to flip back round but it didn't work.
I hope the time passes quick for you with your husband being away. You have your scan to look forward to on Monday.

How is everyone today? Xxx

Aw Debbie, stunning pics, she is absolutely gorgeous, what a cutie!! They are so clear.

Enjoy your scan today Rose can't wait to see your pics too and how you start feeling a bit better with more iron tablets.

Xxx

 

[moggi]

Thanks Suze appointment isn't until 6 so going for dinner at my moms first. Letter from hospital said i've got to make appointment at gp's to discuss blood results, and get iron tabs that'll be fun won't it, the way my gp's are lol XxX

 

[minidancer]

You will be wanting the day to fly by to 6! I bet there will be a huge difference to you last one. Oh I hope your gp is a bit better with this!! Get loads of orange juice in, it helps absorb the iron, which is really difficult for your body to absorb especially at higher doses. xxx

 

[moggi]

Ahh ok i'll bear that in mind. I'm surprised i need extra iron as there is already 121% of rda in my multivitamins. XxX

 

[minidancer]

It will be because you body is only able to absorb so much iron a day, so I doubt it is absorbing all the iron in your vitamin tablets. Your gp might put you on the triple therapy, which is 3 iron tablets a day but in the morning with your iron tablet you take a folic acid and an ascorbic acid too which helps your body absorb the iron. Orange juice is full of ascorbic acid so that why it's good to drink when taking iron supplements xx

 

[moggi]

Thats interesting and makes sense. Drank lots of orange juice at the start but not so much recently. I'll let you know how it goes XxX

 

[meganOUFC]

I've been drinking a glass of oj in the
Morning. As I find the heartburn not as bad then. Think it's helping?
Grouse, but the iron tablets doesn't make you poop very nice does it! Urgh!

 

[minidancer]

Rose hopefully your levels go back up quickly when you start on your tablets. I'm not sure if your levels have to be below a certain level to be prescribed th triple therapy. I think when I was on it my levels were 4.7 or something like that, but that was after losing quite a lot of blood when I had my little one. It took a couple of days to feel better.

Megan I hope you are feeling better too. Oh I know we try and fix one pregnancy symptom and it makes another worse. Iron tablets are def not good for the bowels oh the joys of pregnancy!! Glamour all the way!!

 

[gypsy1981]

Doesn't sound like any of you are having a very easy time at the minute with these babies! Rose and Megan - hope the iron tablets help you both and you start to feel better soon!

Debbie they are gorgeous pics, can't wait to see yours too Rose!

Can't believe how nice the weather is today, I've spent the afternoon in the garden getting rid of dead plants and weeds and just had a trip to B&Q to pick up some new plants. I'm starting to feel very middle aged! On the plus side though the vitamin D from the sunlight will have done wriggly some good

Does anyone know if lactulose is safe to take in 3rd trimester? My doctor prescribed me a bottle when I was 20 weeks which I still have and I was just wondering if it would be ok to take still now that I'm further on!

 

[minidancer]

Nicola I'm jealous its been cloudy and drizzly here today! Really need some sunshine, I can't wait for spring/summer to arrive. Lactulose is safe to use all through pregnancy as its not absorbed, it just really passes through your digestive system. Just make sure there isn't a use by date on it or a timeframe you new to use it after its been opened xxx

 

[gypsy1981]

Aw really? It's been absolutely gorgeous here. There were even people walking about B&Q in shorts and vests!

Thanks for the advice on the lactulose, getting a bit fed up with all these pregnancy niggles now. Constipation, heartburn, lack of appetite... Roll on 9 weeks time!
