Have you both got to go on iron tablets? I was really hoping my levels were ok at 28 week bloods as I had to take iron tablets last year and they played havoc with my ibs, thankfully my levels were good this time xxxx

yes, three times a day at the mo, and stay on pregnacare too. I went to Holland and Barratt yesrday and stocked up on seeds which are better foor me than chocolate and are high in iron.

My blood pressure is nice and low 108/52 - i think it sounds too low!
.

Mine is standardly 90/55 ish! I have to be very careful standing up or I suddenly go incredibkly dizzy

Hope you both get on ok with the iron tablets, I think they only affected me so badly due to ibs and the doctor ended up putting me on a different kind of iron tablet just once a day I was so so ill with them, I was so glad my levels were ok this time, I've had fortified cereal everyday and kept up with the pregnacare all the way through xxx

I've just had a look at the packet. I presumed it would be ferrous sulfate as it always used to be when I was pregnant in the past which are very harsh on the bowel, but this lot are ferous fumate and they are supposed to be an awful lot better!

 

[Oasis717]

Yes that's what the doc switched me too I was given the other one first and I was so ill! So they put me on the Ferrous Fumarate, it was so much better xxx

I'm on the sulphate ones.

My washing machine has broken. Spoke to someone earlier and they said the bearings have gone and advised cheaper to get a new machine !

I'm going to speak to someone else tomorrow .

I have washed all the baby clothes luckily, but haven't washed all the bedding !

Only had the machine 2 years. The bearings should last 4-5 years but due to how much I use it the bearings have gone quicker.

Need to get it sorted as washing is building up again!

Crap I Hate When there is trouble with the washing machine , its one appliance I cannot do without !!!

 

[Oasis717]

Totally agree I've always got washing I think I'm obsessed lol as I do at least two loads a day nearly every day and if I don't have some I find some! Has my machine 7 years now and keep expecting it to pack up but it's still going strong, 2 years doesn't seem long to go that wrong hope you can get it sorted! Xxxx

Mine went a short while ago and it was awful. I had horrid piles of washing building up and then when we got a new one, it's been awful trying to work out what programmes work wel and which ones area a waste of time. I do like my new one though, it has a huge door and load capacity and tells you how long is left on each wash you do so you can time your day really well.

One of my favourite smells in the world is fresh laundry think I'm a bit obsessed with fabric softener lol....

 

[josie1234]

Hi ladies, hope you are all ok. My washing machine is on its way out, makes some clicking noises quite loud and sometimes if I put too much it, it doesn't drain it so I will need to get a new one.

So any updates today??

My BH are random!

Baby has been lively the last couple of days.

Feeling tired today due to lack of sleep last night

Sorted Moses basket out today by putting the cover and hood on, so it's now in the corner of the room. No bedding yet as not washed.

Just got to finish hospital bag tomorrow. Think I will buy some new slippers to put in.

Asked dd to look at my swollen ankles she said "what ankles"

 

[josie1234]

lol. sounds like you are getting organised, so exciting. Loving the BH, won't be long now. Who'd have thought Lisa, that when you started this lucky thread, you would be getting moses basket ready. Just to prove that there is hope and this is a lucky thread.

So tired, been waking up at 5 am every morning. Turned the gym job down as the shifts were crazy (starting at 6 am some days, working 10 hours on a Saturday and 10 hours on a Sunday one in every 3 weekends, some nights working til 9), just not feasible with DH away.

Had sore throat last couple of days and headaches. Hope it goes soon. Think we are due another BFP!!! Come on ladies, who's it gonna be?? FX'd for us all xx

 

[Oasis717]

Def due another bfp!!! Keeping everything crossed we have another one soon xxxxx

That gym job sounds hard work to me! There again i think I'm allergic to excercise!!

I really hope this thread is lucky for everyone else still waiting for a BFP. Fingers crossed for another one soon, hopefully it will be you jo.

I keep checking your chart and its quite random this month , hopefully that's a good sign
