I think that means now I'm sure you said "next cycle" a few weeks ago.

will you be keeping you the ferrous fumerate throughout the pg then?

You never know though I swear by black pudding, spring greens and rare steak for staving of anaemia in my pgs
I really hope I get to have another baby, 3rd time around I'll only be having scans no blood tests so morning sickness will be the only bad part of it (hopefully! lol)
fingers crossed for liitle/no sickness in yours when it happens, I think you had plenty enough last time!

I've been given another two months worth but I'm also eating 30g dark chocolate a day (well most days but once I've finished the iron capsules I'll try to be more diligent about eating it every day) so hopefully that will help.

I don't mind blood tests - I'd rather have a blood test every time than have my blood pressure done. (Just in terms of the unpleasantness factor that is - I don't think there's any need to have a zillion blood tests.) I will be having blood tests but not all of them. I really don't think it's necessary to check for HIV and syphillis and whatever else it was they checked for last time. (Twice because they lost the extra vial the first time and then tried to make out the midwife had forgotten to do the extra one but she hadn't.)

Some more funny stuff to come out of the trip...

BLW or whatever you want to call it (;)) is pretty awesome. Not only was it exceedingly simple to feed Finn, but it was the cause of much amazement, admiration and questions!! Though the mother of my new BIL obviously disapproved as she kept saying, "I'm freaking out. As a grandmother, this makes me very nervous. *asks random person* doesn't this make you nervous?" But she's a little strange anyways . I may not be a very good advocate though, as I couldn't think of the "reasons" behind it other than a) it's easier; b) potentially less issues with picky eating later in life as baby is introduced to choices/flavors/textures early on. No one had ever heard of it, though the sample may not have been very reliable as only a few people in my generation and only a few of those had a lot of interaction with children . Anyway, the greatest hit was Finn devouring a piece of juicy steak...he took about 20 minutes of it going in and out of his mouth and it eventually wound up very knawed and almost white :cool:. He also discovered a new love for courgette (which mommy had yet to give him because she thinks it's gross :A).

So anyone vaguely considering BLW, I 100% recommend if for nothing else than a great party trick :rotfl:.

Aless, I love giving Molly steak - she sucks it dry and is at the stage where if she can rip a piece off she'll gnaw it till she can get it down. And people watch in awe as my angelic little beastie goes to town while murmuring nomnomnomnomnom at her steak :rotfl:

And your new BIL's mother is a muppet

Lucy had to pee and confirmed she's expecting. Expectant date 31st March 2011. Midwife at 8-9 weeks, so only 3 or 4 weeks away.

Nice GP actually. Being female may have been useful. Lucy certainly found it helpful.

:T Congrats kinda officially now!!

Yes, strange feeling. Butterflies.

We'll have to start getting some things as the girls are too excited not too and they'll only be disappointed, so we're going to have to come to some agreement with them about what we get in bits.

Well this is the same woman who let a 6 year old buy and consume a bottle of Mountain Dew (highly caffeinated sofa). :eek:

:eek::eek::eek: the bridesmaid at the wedding I was at was giving her 17 month old coffee (filter, not instant) - but that was only half a cup, not the 20oz bottles of HYPERCAFFEINATED MOUNTAIN DEW. I used to drink one of those when I was working a double shift on no sleep, I can't imagine the effect they'd have on a six year old.

Official congratulations, MOTM and Lucy.
