Think you might have misheard slightly.. at 2.4 you would have been hospitalised immediately and given blood transfusions!! there is no way you'd have got away with iron tablets and sent home. Mine was 5.1 after DD3 and I couldn't stand upright without a struggle.. 7-12Hb they give you iron.. less than 7Hb they start to flap.. You usually lose consciousness at about 4Hb

I was already in hospital for another matter when they did the test and I am a registered nurse so unfortunately did not misunderstand! I was only kept in for 2 further days though and was indeed as I said sent on my merry way.

pigpen

So do I.. I can't take the tablets though.. last time I ended up in hospital with a suspected bowel obstruction, they literally stop my bowel working.. the liquid does the same. Doesn't stop them writing to me saying I need to go get iron tablets from the GP..

when I had the baby they were not wanting to let me go home because my Hb was 9.. it was lower than that when I went in! Silliness

Think he is starting to panic , we are going to ikea in 2 weeks time to get the cot and mattress and he keeps saying " We dont need to put it up right away do we "

lol at OH's. Mine suddenly started chatting about all the things we need to get yesterday too.

Oh and I have to ask.....is anyone else feeling really top heavy and achy?

Glad the GTT went well Lablover. My OH seems to have only just realised we could have a baby any day now.

LabLover

lol , Glad im not the only one. He seemed so calm and relaxed when we first found out and I was stressing and worrying , now I cant wait to meet the little mite and OH is like WOW WE ARE GOING TO BE PARENTS. This sounds really odd but I cant wait to smell my babies head:o and I dont mean when it is washed I mean straight away..... Got this weird notion that I really want to give its head a good sniff and a kiss. Mind you im forever smelling things , my dogs head and ears , my OH's neck , I smell washing when it comes out machine and smell cards and presents when people give them to me.... Im a weirdo , lol

pigpen

i sniff everything too Lab.. New books and catalogues and carpet are my favourites.. but I sniff everything.. I can identify my childrens clothing by the smell.. So you can't be that weird.. cos i'm quite normal!

LabLover

LoL,most people can understand the sniffing of new things but they say its gross that I smell my dogs ears. I work with cars and I never get sick of smelling new car , I love it .OBEM tonight , not sure if Il watch it tonight ,may record and watch at a later date.

pigpen

I do not smell toothbrushes... or toilet rolls.. or empty jars.. or dry pasta.. or make up.. or nail polish... or the baby's smelly nappies..

:whistle:

Cars smell wonderful.. we got a new car just before christmas and the new car smell is just wearing off But it was niiiiice!)

I think the OBEM is an old one from last series, not certain though.

LabLover

mmm love the smell of face powder. So you reckon its a repeat Wendz? Or is it a follow up of a couple from last series? Will watch Law + Order uk and record OBEM , that way if its a repeat I can just delete. Nearly home time , yay ! Will go home , stuff my face ( after all I was starved last night and this morning , its only fair ) then walk the dog . Then sit on my bum with a cuppa and some biscuits. Labour vibes to all that need them
