At my first MW appointment, she advised me to take extra folic acid as I'm overweight by a bit. For me, the usual dose in the multivitamins wasn't sufficient. She check some sort of spinny chart thing.

I wasnt advised to take extra either?

oh really? well according to mine my bmi was high and i did tell them i am taking the usual dose of folic acid. they never said anything?

Mine is slightly over 30.

When I was weighed on Monday, I've lost 0.7kg in the last 4 weeks so it's probably less now.

mine was 28 i think. so maybe its ok if she didnt say anything?

Ohh many of you really are over the 12 mark, arent you ? even with 20 w scans !! i am only 4 w +4 today, saw the doctor and said the midwife will contact me, i am so anxious !!

I am taking pregnancy vitamins, as i want to make sure iam ok 100%. With DD i was underweight but as they say the body rapidly stores fat and believe me it did ! this time around, i am a bit heavier but i want to be more active so hopefully i don't put on a lot of weigh on.

I can't help but lurk, still surprised that I am past the 12 week mark (24 weeks)

Have a party to go to on Friday and think we may have to let people know as it is pretty obvious. Close family and a couple of friends know but may have to let the wider population know now. Told close family at 17/18 weeks.

morocha best thing is to relax as much as possible, there isn't a huge amount to be in control of so just go with the flow and enjoy it.

i know it is SOO hard to be calm and enjoy it. ask me. i am the queen of anxiousness. i am calmer now and am hoping that all happens. its the waiting around that really gets to me. time will fly for all of us!!

Hi

hope you are all feeling not too bad, sickness seems to be dissapearing (thank god! fed up hugging the toilet!) been sick with my sinus so don't have much of a voice, been taking small doses of parcetomel (sp) to take the edge which has not been helping with the sickness. My MW said that the recommend dose for folic acid had recently been upped to 500mg, she gave me a bottle of folic, vit c and vit d, but looking at the bottle it is 400 mg of the folic and I have also been taking the other tablet which is 400mg, hope things are going to be okay.:o. We told his sister and brother but told them to keep quiet until the scan, felt better seeing I had told my mum and sister. So they appear to be delighted think they are in shock of my OH being a dad, he was the last to leave his mum and dad and did not appear to be very grown up, but since being with him, he has mellowed out:D must be doing something right!;). He is going to the gym tonight, still not feeling up to it, but I am hoping I can get back to treadmill for a short period, but I am trying to walk to work during the week a bit more often.

roll on 19 june!
