Just a bit of sunday fun....

You would...

 

[Emerald87]

Please someone give me that bullet. I have no energy or enthusiasm today. V-day tomorrow and I'm not excited in the slightest. You're right Saph; it means nothing - I've had intense Braxtons all day and it's just ruined any relaxed state I had.

 

[arj]

Tomorrow is another day, you may feel better then!
I have crap days, then good days, mainly crap tho at this point in time, but sleep is a big factor in how I feel, and nutritious food. (not pizza)!
Just write today off Em

 

[Sapphire83]

Sorry to hear you're not feeling great today, Emerald. You know what helps me when I have one of those days? Playing my favourite song full blast (over and over again), never mind your visitors. I also second arj's advice re good food and lots of sleep (even though that also proves a challenge these days...).

 

[Emerald87]

Arj, we just ordered pizza... whoops

 

[Emerald87]

Yeh I think I'll write today off.

Arj, how much magnesium do you take a day? I'm only taking 1 tablet at night (equ 100mg magnesium) but thinking about upping it since the "standard" dose is 1 tablet morning and night anyway, up to 3 tablets twice a day.

Enjoy your pizza! I've been ill all night and this morning ive been naughty and had ice cream and fruit punch for breakfast but I feel a lot better for it!

Your profile picture is amazing btw!!!!

 

[Emerald87]

Yours too!! Look at that bump!! How gorgeous!!

 

[Sapphire83]

I agree- lovely bumpage, Claire!

 

[Mummy_Claire]

Getting bigger by the day!!! Baby isn't enjoying the lack of room by the feel of it lol!

 

[Emerald87]

On a lighter note - HAPPY V DAY TO ME!!!!

I take one tablet in the morning and one at night. I get the chelated stuff for easy absorbtion.
Im going to go off them the week before induction tho because it is a muscle relaxant which is great for preventing prem labor... but probably wouldnt be helpful if actually trying to start it! After I was off it for a week last week started getting MEGA brax hix, so I reckon it really works

 

[arj]

Happy Vday Em and Kaida!!!

 

[Emerald87]

Oh it works alright. I love the stuff. I went on it after I started my mega braxton hicks at 16 weeks. But they're progressively getting worse again so I'm upping dose. I use the chelated stuff too. Safer in pregnancy.

 

[arj]

Are you on anything else? Im taking a multivit, EPO, fish oil and flaxseed oil when I remember, iodine, and iron. Little rainbow concoction of pills!

 

[Emerald87]

Multi, fish oil and vitamin D because I have a deficiency

 

[Sapphire83]

Happy V-Day and safe travels, Hun!
