Well is quite unusual not to see GISI yet at this time of morning, so hoping she's doing much more important things like giving birth! :rotfl: or else she & fattyboo are just sick of us stalking them

Morning (just!)

I know Ive probably missed both of you but speedy painless labour vibes to Gisi and Fattybooboo Really hope your both enjoying mummy cuddles as I type though (even if I am a little jealous )

Im still here, havent even had any random tightenings to indicate a trial run may be on the way so I think Im here for the long haul :rolleyes: I had a little cry at OH again last night, I fully expected to go overdue but even just 2 days has got me climbing the walls! Ive got my friend coming around later as its her 30th today, I should really go and buy a gift bag for her pressies but I havent got the energy it requires to get to the shop :rotfl:

Charliedavis huge vibes your way, are you due to see the midwife soon re sweeps or induction?

Beenie - You've got my sympathies with the heartburn, its awful. Im the same where everything triggers it off now so its either dont eat and starve or eat and suffer :mad:

Elasti I really think men havent got a clue at times, their definately from another planet!

Ive forgotten everything else I caught up on, sorry Pregnancy brains really got the better of me today.

Boogellyboo have some more labour vibes and ((((hugs)))) too. I feel the same in that I fully expect to go overdue, but I have a feeling I won't cope too well with it if I do!!

Hi ymakesmile!! I was told you are able to take paracetamol but not ibuprofen etc during pregnancy. I took a couple of paracetamol a couple of times when I felt really rough with headaches and swimmy eyes. HTH!!

I hate getting conflicting advice from people who should know what theyre talking about.....when I saw a GP after I found out I was pregnant he said I could take ibuprofen upto 24wks and said my asthma would get better throughout pregnancy - however my MW said asthma more often than not gets worse and that I shouldnt take ibuprofen - so who do we believe

Got my dating scan in the morning at 10.30!!!!

Good Luck gals who need those labour vibes! :T

Here's a question for you all. Do I need to be taking a pregnancy vitamin? I have been taking folic acid for the last couple of months and know I need to continue taking it but should I be taking anything else now?

aless02

yorky - everything I've read both NHS leaflets & online says paracetamol ONLY and deffo not ibruprofen.

ymake - it's not strictly necessary, but you may want to consider a multivitamin for general good health or at least iron as a lot of pregnant women have low iron. It's up to you, really.

You don't really need to be taking anything else except folic acid for the first three months and a healthy diet beyond that. That said, I'm taking vitamins plus omega 3, but that's because I don't trust myself to actually eat properly/get all my nice vitamins in through food alone! I guess if you've got a healthy, varied enough diet, you don't really need to be taking anything extra. If you do decide to take vitamins, make sure they are pregnancy specific ones as other multi-vits contain vitamin A which can be harmful.
