Sick in labour..I was:D:D Purely due to the gas & air and as I'd had nothing to eat all day it was purely liquid:j:j and coz I liek things to be clean I even hurled in the loo figured it was less tidying up;)...unfortunately the pressure from being sick made my waters go at the same time:eek: was soooooo funny:rotfl:

Since #1 is a girl I'd like #2 to be a boy but if I'm totally honest I don't really mind(and I'm not just saying that:p)..I love having a baby girl, it's a bit like having a doll:D:D Plus if its a girl next time then I have more ammunition for talking DH into having the 4 I want:D

I'd go for natural over caesarean any day.....I hated the c-section and was soooooooo jealous of everyone else who could look after their babies by themselves straight away:o I had to buzz the midwives if hubby wasn't there:( also a section does not always go to plan!

Hope you all had a fab weekend xx

Oh thats reassuring to know,esp for someone who has no choice in the matter and is planning a c section for medical reasons. Thanks LOL:mad:

Ah but the MAJOR differenceis....you can prepare for every eventuality and hopefully have your OH & family there to help you out for a few a weeks after the birth:)
For me it was an emergency section and was done in a rush(hence things going wrong) and my family were all 100 miles away & were unable to come & see us:(
A planned section is a lot calmer and not so rushed as the theatre will have been booked for you;) Also you know in advance that you'll need help to look after baby til you're up & about...it was a complete shock for me which did absolutely nothing for my mental state:o That annoying woman on the ward who does nothing but cry even though they've just had a beautiful baby....that was me:o:p:D I blame my mother:rotfl:

Started taking folic acid today - they were on 3 for 2 in sainsbury's so I picked up 3 months supply. Although we're not planning on TTC until early next year, I thought I'd better start taking it now in case it happens by accident when I come off the pill in September. :cool:

felt a bit weird taking it at work though - I always take my pills when I get in, so it's the same time each day, and so I don't have to get up so early at the weekends to take them! - I was trying to get it out of my bag without anyone seeing the bottle :rotfl: maybe I'll take the folic acid at bedtimes instead!

Noticed that my multivitamin says it's not suitable for pregnant women, so I guess I'll have to look for one that doesn't contain vitamin A. I got really anaemic at uni, so I always take a multivit + iron, and I wouldn't want to stop this while TTC.

I think they check your bloods regularly when preg. And if you need iron you can apparently get it in some sachets that you can add to orange juice?!

:eek: I'll bet that was lovely! :rotfl:

Moog, how about taking the label off the bottle, or putting them into an empty bottle of something else so no-one sees? Those Sainsbury's ones aren't very subtle are they? I don't know why it can't just say Folic Acid rather than a great big 'Mum 2 Be'!

Hello all - gosh a lot has gone on here since I was last around! Welcome to all the newbies and congrats to those who have graduated.

I've been mad busy with work work and uni work - it's showing no sign of letting up with another massive visit at work next week and another uni assignment due on Friday. The good news is I somehow managed to get a 98 on my last uni assignment - have no idea how as I tied myself in knots over it.

Weight loss seems to be going well. Recording what I eat seems to really make me think about what I shove in - am down 7lbs on my starting weight now. Really want to try to lose that every month!

Hope all is well with everyone - what's the weather like in the UK? Are you having a typically glorious summer?

Well in London / Kent it's been quite typical really - some days hot, others pi$$ing down with rain!

RebekahR

Hampshire same as Kent. Just had 2-3 days of 23c or so and now its going to rain and cool down again to 18c or something. Joy ... Not! I want heat for weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks on end like the rest of Europe!!
