I would have loved two caring mums. Instead I got one caring mum and a brute of a dad. THAT is a great way to mess up children

Agreed! Same here!

I've had a very relaxing week but now work right though until next Thursday as I have people on vacation they are night shifts and I'm sleepy

I'm sorry you've not been well Lady

That is a lot of injections Celtic

Kim you sound so very busy! I hope it slows down for you soon!

 

[klsltsp]

Hey ladies !

Lady sorry you've been sick.. hopefully you are feeling much better now.

Sweet yeah busy.. my son is in the finals tomorrow.. sigh.. was kind of hoping they'd lose This week, we have Tuesday off.. and Friday come mid-june we're down to soccer once a week for both so that will be a nice treat. Wow your work schedule sounds rough.. I could never work nights!! I don't know how people do it!!

On the upside got some sun today

Hope everyone has a good week.

 

[SweetV]

I'm just covering this week for somebody that is on vacation but I am zonked. I could sleep standing up. Need caffeine but can't drink the quantity that I need to survive lol.

At least your schedule slows down a little over the summer and you can relax a little hopefully

 

[CelticNiamh]

Very quite in here, how is every one doing

I am still super tired as well and freezing today bring on proper summer and not the odd warm day followed by windy wet and cool

 

[SweetV]

I'm exhausted! 10 hours sleep last night and needed to lay down an hour after getting up. My DH thinks that I work too hard and that is the reason why I can barely function.

The weather here is finally perfect. Not too hot, nice breeze sun is shining. I just wish I had the energy to enjoy some of it!

no chance your iron levels are low or anything is there

 

[SweetV]

I take prenatals and a vitamin D supplement and I had my B vitamin levels checked last year. I'm going to ask them at my appt next week if I should be concerned. I really thought I would have some energy back by now.

if you iron levels are low it can make your very tired and as far as I know you may need an extra supplement worth getting them to check just in case

 

[kwynia]

I'm doing pretty well, getting more energy during the day, but still feeling pretty wiped out by 8:00. Started feeling some little flutters and the occasional thump that I'm pretty sure are baby. It's still really early though, so maybe I'm just getting emotional over gas, but I don't think so

 

[klsltsp]

Hey ladies!

Same here, I have a bit more energy than I did, I think that's partly due to stopping the ms meds... still pretty zonked by 7-8 pm

I need to get them to check my iron levels too.. both of my last 2 DS's I needed supplements, especially since I'm a section, so you lose some blood then, so they want my levels good before surgery!

3 weeks until my gender scan!! Sweet your's is coming up soon right?

Kim

 

[SweetV]

Celtic - I will absolutely ask them then. I know I don't eat a lot of red meat and I was concerned before but levels came back ok. Pregnancy sure can do a number on you physically though so wouldn't be surprised if it was an issue now.

kwynia - lol at emotional over gas I know the feeling though. Soon enough we will know for sure!

Kim - my scan is next Tuesday . It is only a cervical check but I'm going to ask them really nicely if they will take a gender guess for me. If not I have to wait another 2 weeks after that for my anatomy scan.

 

[CelticNiamh]

Hopefully your feeling better soon so hard to do anything when your feeling wrecked x

I have an appointment tuesday as well I think I might have a small scan in doctors office not sure he will tell mr gender but going to ask anyway

 

[Embo78]

I've been struggling exactly the same as you V. I just can't shake the exhaustion. I'm going to ask them to take my bloods again at my 16 week appointment (on Monday) and see what's going on with my iron. My mum and grandma both have pernicious anaemia and I've always had to take extra iron in each of my pregnancies but usually from 26-28 weeks. Never this early. My first blood tests taken came back (from my booking in appt) and my iron levels were excellent according to my midwife!

Good luck with all the gender scans coming up. Can't wait to see what you're all having

 

[SweetV]

I've always been fine with just my prenatals but it never hurts to ask.

Part of it may be my erratic work schedule. I'm going to see if they will help put an end to that as well.

 

[CelticNiamh]

Embo you are team yellow that is exciting

got a few bits today picked up a frees sample bag we get from eumom and also got a lovely overnight bag for hospital could not pass it by it was reduced from 50 euro to 15 also got a foot muff for my car seat as it will be winter when baby gets here it was also on sale. I did get a little OMG I hope the baby gets here wobble guess that is how it will go till baby is in our arms as I say I am not alone in feeling like that!

 

[SweetV]

Not at all. I don't know that I will buy much until after baby is here. It was so hard to take it back last time (I still have some). I will need a bassinet and a car seat and maybe a few outfits. A good deal is so hard to pass up though especially with the season changes and the price reductions that come along with them

 

[klsltsp]

Yeah we haven't bought anything yet either... will need a stroller/carseat, some outfits, swing, bouncy chair.. we have a crib still...I'm not sure when I'll be ready to buy stuff. I'm hoping after the gender scan, it will be easier to bond with baby

Nice deals Celtic!!

Sweet hope your work schedule settles down soon!!!

 

[SweetV]

I've been doing some research on strenuous work and high risk pregnancy and I think I may ask for a note to not work so much. I flip flop on wanting to work as far as I can so I will have more time off after baby to feeling like I need to take care of myself now.

 

[kwynia]

You definitely need to take care of yourself. Big picture: I would rather worry about potentially finding a new job than have regrets about my health or my babies health. But, I don't mean to diminish that it is very difficult to try and find that balance, i hope you get it sorted without too much hassle.
