    Iron tablets....tmi here

    sorry to say yes :? or even dark greenish lol :puke: :oops: i've been on pregaday for about 3 months after a really low blood count. just make sure you're taking on plenty fluid, fruit and veg and fibre to make sure they don't bung you up! Last thing you need to add to the list of discomfort...

    Do I Have A Valid Point?!

    :hug: I feel for you. That sounds like hell to me. Sorry but you'll still be adjusting and totally knackered. Two small kids and two babies in a static caravan sounds madness. Depending how labour goes you might still be sore or need treatment. We're going up the west coast to a static caravan...

    Dopplers...Harmful?

    MW told me to only use it occationally and not for long periods of time as it's not really understood whether it affects bub or not. I stopped using it when I could feel bump moving so didn't need it for that long. I also find that mine doesn't like it even when MW listens as it has always...

    Thought Bumpy was coming yesterday!!

    We're due Sunday (thank god :cheer: ) so a week to go. Think it's just on your brain constantly the last few weeks, every twinge is nooticed. I got BHs for 10hours on tuesday every half hour/20mins then they just stopped. On thurs had really sore pains shooting from top of bump to bottom on a...

    Thought Bumpy was coming yesterday!!

    sounds v.similar to what I've been getting, just assumed it's all part of the warm up, The pains don't feel like BHs, combined with show etc hoping it's soon! I refuse to get excited until the contractions get progressively stronger and closer together as this has benn coming and going for a...

    anyone got a sore butt!?

    That's just it, I can't really overdo it as I've got horrendous carpal tunnel and also SPD so everything has been in slow motion hence taking me a week to prepare our 2bed flat! Still feel like I've been run over today after two nice big bubble baths last night and this morning. I hate to admit...

    anyone got a sore butt!?

    This may be nothing but I just wondered if anyone else had had really sore mucles in the last few weeks/days of their pregnancy? I woke up this morning feeling like I'd done some extreme training session yesterday as my back (around bra area), legs and especially my bum are very sore and achy...

    ecoballs any good?

    The title sounds dodgy I know but it's an innocent question! :lol: Just wondered if anyone else has used these? We're going to be using Terry nappies so lots of washing and the ecozone balls look good in terms of being kinder to baby skin and env. but I've tried lots of different eco products...

    Unmarried parents & parental responsibility?

    That's not exactly fair! :? We'e engaged and won't be getting married for a while. The irony for us is my OH has far more knowledge and experince with kids than me and has been broody from day one where as I was just scared initially yet I'd be considered above him!

    Any Tena ladies here?

    I'm willing to bet the majority of women get it at some point during the pregnancy just don't admit it. I had a weak bladder to start with so was paranoid from the beginning. Think it staarted aroung 3/4months but I have to say it has only really got worse since bump dropped though. Got a proper...

    stretch marks with before + after pics UPDATE week 5

    Would you be able to use that while breastfeeding? I've got horrendous stretch marks and I'm not looking for a miricle cure but it would be nice to be able to reduce the scarring

    obsessed with labour?

    I'm curious to know how many other women have labour on the brain 24/7 and wonder every time they have a BH, cramp or twinge if this is it? Honestly I'm turning into a nutcase! Was awake most of lastnight with back, pelvic pains, cramp and BHs which I'd say is fair to think could baby be...

    Anemic. What can I do?

    I'm on pregaday (iron and folic acid) because of the last count. I can't imagine they'd advise much more than vit c and green veg on top. You should feel you've got far more energy within a couple of days of taking them. Do take note to eat extra fibre though - iron tabs can bung you up! :wink:

    What do ppl do on maternity leave?

    I've been wondering the same thing. was supposed to work to my due date but now having three wekks before on physio advice. Suspect it will pass fairly quickly. Got lot of cleaning and preparations to do and I'd like to get out for a bit of a walk/waddle each day to try and encourage baby out...

    pains in your rear a sign of labour??

    baby has been engaged for couple of weeks but it's definately dropped down more since Sunday night. I'm 35+3 but have wondered from the start if the dates were wrong. Sure MW will tell me so next week. Not quite as painful now, think bub has manovered a bit so I'm ever so slightly less...

    pains in your rear a sign of labour??

    I realise this is not really the kind of thing you ask perfect strangers but if I've learned anything about pregnancy so far it's that dignity and niceties go out of the window! My Q: there's something going on with bump, was really twingy lastnight and today it literally feels like baby is...

    Carpel Tunnel

    Splints are officially doing nothing for me. I now wake up with claws and it takes ages to be able to move my fingers at all. Went to see the doc yesterday, she said there's nothing I can do herbal or otherwise. Beginning to get really peeved. I thought she would at least sign me off for a few...
