Molly did I miss something??Were you in hospital??
Was it from an allergy?

 

[madcatwoman]

My gag reflex is on overtime, it wont let me swallow the large pregnacare vitamins now!

 

[gilz82]

Oh i feel your pain Madcat, i really have to work myself up to taking my pregnacare vits everyday cos they really make me gag too.

It's strange cos touch wood i'm not gagging at anything else yet, just the vitamins, hope it stays that way.

 

[madcatwoman]

i managed to get the omega 3 part down me in the end after nearly spraying out the water from my mouth, but the brown tablet wouldnt go down at all, had to chuck that out. I hope i dont have to go on the hunt for smaller vitamins, i bought two boxes of pregnacare+

 

[PeanutBean]

I think I've taken about 5 pregnacare since bfp. I took about the same the whole pregnancy with Byron. Just couldn't swallow or stomach them.

 

[gilz82]

Well you can rule asda pregnancy ones out too then madcat cos they are actually bigger than the pregnacare one!!

 

[madcatwoman]

ah right ok. well, i'll have a look around and see whats out there, but i guess they all might be similar if they do the same thing. I wouldnt take them but i dont have the best diet in the world, theres so many foods i dont like its not funny, so i thought i best take them, its just not happening now though!

 

[gilz82]

I'm the same I really need to take mine as I'm already aneamic. I can't go back on proper iron it makes me ill.

 

[PeanutBean]

Gilz get some spatone. It's iron rich water, better than iron tablets and you just stick it in some juice.

 

[gilz82]

Oh I've tried the spatone it makes me

Before I got pregnant my anaemia was so bad that they were talking about iron infusions. Need to wait to see what the consultant says in a couple of weeks.

 

[molly85]

Yup Vbaby I was in A&E for 3 hours. I am fine though.
You can get apill cutter and cut vitamins in half. I take mine before bed so not at the same time as my thyroid meds

Hey my lovely grad ladies

I AM BACK OUR INTERNET IS BACK UP AND RUNNING

madcat I am so sorry about your family and the sad baby news both me and my sister were preggers with just a week apart when I was expecting Oliver but she mc so I understand where your at! Its is hard to know what to say/do and I found it hard telling her about beanie baby cause she is still TTC and has had many more mc`s in the recent years Also you can count out tescos multivits too cause they are like horse pills

Gilz hon I agree with the other ladies re your spotting I think you may suffer on and off until maybe end of 1st tri.....I feel sure everything with jellybean is just fine

Peanut hon I love Aoine AND I think its our girly name not sure about a middle name though I think we may lean towards irish again will have to give it more thought! How are you feeling this eve?

vbaby I love the idea of giving a girl a name thats isnt spelt the same way its pronounced and I love lots of irish/celtic names and so I think its the perfect idea.....she will be quite unique in Leeds along all the Jessicas, Laurans, Rubys etc We want a name which isnt so common here

Molly hon so sorry you ended up in a&e....glad you are on the mend now

Annoying comment of the weekend We told our last two friend couples on saturday we are expecting and one of the women made a true `worthy of a smack` comment! She has two little girls (5 1/2 yrs old and an 11 months old) It is no secret she cried when she found out both of her babies were girls My DH grew up with 4 close male friends and we all had children within 6months of each other....us being the last of the 1st round and all the other couples had girls except we of course had Oliver. Well she has spitting blood when she learnt we were having a boy and she used to behave really obsessively around Oliver (like he was hers) whenever all us couples and babies got together. Then she fell pregnant with her 2nd and apparently according to her partner (he told DH!) she cried for a week after her 20wk scan and went sick at work cause she wanted a boy and her baby was a girl So everyone was asking like people do wether we wanted a boy or girl and did we have any names picked! She stuck up her nose when I said we were considering irish names for a girl and then said to me `By the way just so you know your not allowed to have a girl because I wasnt allowed one of each so why the hell should you get a boy and girl` I wanted to lynch mob the woman HOW DARE SHE AND HOW VERY CHILDISH! One of the other women nearly fell off her chair at the comment and so I just replied saying I would be more than happy with what I was given and that a child is a precious gift wether it be a boy or girl and that I already had two girls anyway......my two god-daughters wiped the smile right off her face!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I made some homemade soup today from one of my pregnancy books.....leek and tomato......its meant to help with ness and so far so good.....I had a bowl at 5pm and normally within half hour of eating I am feeling really .....I DONT It takes about 20-30mins to make mostly chopping the veggies and if anyone wants the recipe I will be happy to give them it

 

[PeanutBean]

Madly - glad to be of service! That woman needs a smack! And good work with the soup. Leek I'm not so bad. Haven't eaten enough so feeling off but it's because I wasn't feeling off. Think I've only retched once today. Wish I could know it's stay this way! I discovered today that nvq3 is kind of a-level equivalent so it's gone up in my estimation! I've done lots of work on it today.

Molly did I miss you going to a&e as well? I thought you meant work when you were talking about hospital. What was the matter? Hope you're ok.

 

[madcatwoman]

Madly!, i cant believe your friend, OMG fancy being like that just because its not the sex she wanted! Jeeese!. I would 'like a girl', something tells me it wont be, and if its not when we find out, its still ok with me, i can get the whole 'girl thing' out of my head then which will help, overall i just want it to be healthy.

Thanks molly, i didnt know you can get a pill cutter!!!, i'll look into that b'cause i think the situation is going to get worse before it gets better, those pills are just horrendous in size, and that was my thoughts for when im having a good day!!.

Well, we are thinking of breaking our news to the family members in question at the end of the week, well, tell her husband first and let him choose a time he thinks is best to pass the news on to her.
Its a popular time of year however, as DH broke the news to his uncle, aparently his cousin is pregnant too, one week ahead of me at 14 weeks!. Small world.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

What a day. First, I got lost on the way to work and was 10 minutes late. Then I got totally nauseous and started crying. The manager took me aside and I blurted out that I'm pregnant She and the owner called me into a meeting around 4:30ish and she asked if I knew before I started and I said I just found out this past weekend and I was able to call the maternity unit at our hospital to get appointments because they are open 24 hours a day. She said ok and told me she had to be honest, she may not be able to keep me on past my 12 weeks because she is looking for consistant staff (crying now at this point). She said she would phone her solicitor and ask because she currently is being sued by an old manager who was pregnant and got dismissed on unrelated grounds. So, I find out tomorrow what the situation will be. OH says he doesn't care as long as the baby is healthy, but our money situation is such that we can't afford for me not to be working. I'm totally knackered now. It's been an emotionally draining day

 

[molly85]

lol thought I was unloved so didn't make more of an issue of it. I have amild chillie allergiewhen i eat raw chillie. I made matt this super hot chillie pasta and with 15 minutes my lips were burning and swollen. antihystamine didn't work and i hwent through 2 ice pack emergency doctor said hospital i went i sat i saw triage i sat and waited and waited. 2.5 hours later i saw a nurse specialist who told me off for risking certirazine then said i's doneeverything they would and could someone stay wiith me over nite. I'd been there long enough so said i'd ask the parents as matt was working. No one would stay awake if to check i was breething so i went home and was in bed alone by 9.30 ready for an early shift today. All my gp said was don't touch chillie! all well and good but its the only way matt will eat healthy

 

[PeanutBean]

Did I mention we told everyone on Friday? Excellent response from our mates on fb. DH's family? Meh. You'd think there'd be a bit more for their second grandchild.

Oh and on that note DH and I are having a disagreement. He wants to take Byron up to see our friends in the NE on his birthday (28th Nov). This naturally means a whole weekend which I can't manage so I can't go and also at least a day spent visiting his ungrateful family which defeats the whole object of being cross with them for never visiting Byron. I thought we were having a party on his birthday at home but apparently instead I don't get to spend Byron's birthday with him at all. If only DH hadn't learnt to drive!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

OMG ozzieshunni am not sure they can sack you though hon? Peanut have you any advice?
