I'm coming up to 32 weeks on Sun and have a question about taking calcium.

It says to start taking 1000mg a day from 32 weeks.

I have calcium from Asda which is 400mg tablets. As I dont drink much milk or eat many dairy products I have been taking 800mg (rec daily allowance) every day for quite some time.

Do you think I should just keep going with this or should I take an extra one so that I'm taking 1200mg a day?

Somnium

Back from Weatherspoons Both of us had one of their burger deals with free drink Nommy bacon and cheese burger Got the tablets and have just taken one so hope that kicks in and I can sleep tonight or I think I may just reach the end of my teather!

Jolene - love Astrid, think you should totally use it if your having a girl

EA - that mash with phili sounds lush, never thought of that before! Ooochie nipple!

CAFC - you go girl, I know its not rational as you say but if it works go with it

Mermaid - love the BF story from your Mum about you and bro

Right Q time, Ive never really suffered with indegestion let alone acid reflux so what foods should I be avoiding to keep it flaring up? Am going food shopping tomorrow so will pick up some yughurt I know thats suposed to help.

If you fancy a look

It has a woman who is still BFing her 4 and 5 yr old. And im not against it, but i dont think i'll still be BFing Lily at 5 years old..

Sheer curiosity has just made me sit and watch this. Found it absolutely fascinating so thanks for bringing it up EA. :T

WARNING LONG POST
So sorry not posted in ages but have lurked when had 5 min's , had soo much going on
Congrat's to LMF and anybody else who needs them

Don't know if anybody remembered but we seemed to have a mega run of bad luck DP broke leg ,dog died, garage got broke into ,well when we thought things where on the up my Uncle who was very close to us ,he had no children ,never married , took really poorly 3 weeks ago ,(he had lived with prostrate cancer for the last 10 years )and we all took it in turns to stay with him in hosp ,sadly he died 2 weeks ago , As our Mum's took the death really badly My cousin and myself organised funeral which was quite daunting

So hopefully things are on the up now ,I am 36 weeks and feel this pregnancy has just flown by compared to my first when I had time to feel every kick and read loads of magazines and chill out.
I swear that I wont have time to be in labour , if anybody seen the Monty python film will know what I mean where the lady with a ton of kids hanging around the house is doing the dishes when baby just slips out and she ask's one of the other kids to pick it up:rotfl:


On the good news front and with all thanks:A to this thread other wise I wouldn't have know about the following bargains , I was chuffed with my tkmaxx bargains , £1 nappies from Asda and have recieved an email tonight from bizziebaby to say I have been choosen to trial an EmmaJane nursing bra :j:j woop woop made up as know how expensive they are, just got to work out what size to order as not very big busted and am in a 38c maternity bra from M&S now ,I know you are only ment to get nursing bras measured from 38 weeks but if I leave it another 2 weeks will I miss out on bra ? or will it take more than a few weeks to come ?

Hopefully going to have a bit more time after this weekend to post ,but if not will try and bob into lurk when I ever get a few minutes ,good luck everybody who needs it xxx

Well I've been to the hospital, heard a very strong heartbeat :j midwife didn't poke around too much to see if there was another one :rotfl: she said either I'm farther along than the estimated dates or there is two :rotfl:

Will have a scan probably next week, and will let you all know how I get on

Well I am totally fed up, 2 o'clock my body decides to get up.

Well actually I was peeing every 15 mins from going to bed, so from 9pm ish, then OH snores woke me every 5 mins, to the point I thought why lay here? so I am downstairs on the sofa again, hoping to god Wispa (hamster) doesnt fancy playing on his wheel (it squeaks)

If I at least had labour pains I wouldnt mind lol but nada!

The only plus side is Jezza Kyle is on in 15 mins lol

Jopsey congrats on getting the Emma Jane bra to test, thats totally awesom!! I wish beany was here so I could test the breast pump

Eek Delain I wonder if thre is two in thre?

I have MEGA period cramps at the front, nothing on the back, I wish I knew if they were going to go into anything!

I am now getting tired, but don't want to attempt to get back into bed, especially not with these cramps as I will wake OH

Going to see if I can nap on the sofa, don't know if these pains will let me.
