I am taking Sanatogen Mum to be still and still have aneamia. The dose (although it says 100% rda) is a lot lower than the amount I take in the Iron tablets. I think the content in the mum to be is around 30mg and the iron tablets I have are around 270mg from memory!!

I need to stop paying for pregnacare and buy that!! This only has 17mg in! Geeze.

Good luck Crabapple.

Had some fantastic news from the hospital, both mine and OH cystic fibrosis bloods came back fine, so fingers crossed the Echogenic Bowel was/is not a marker for anything being wrong with baby. Such a huge weight off our minds :0)

That's great news Laura! So pleased for you

Amazing news Laura, you must be over the moon

Rebekah - I took the Santogen vitamins too, never started with Pregnacare, so no idea if they are better or worse

Sorry if I'm too late to help but I am having lots of Braxton hicks and I can feel mine coming coz I feel suddenly breathless then bump goes hard so not palps but similar. HTH x

Dashikii, I am also expecting twins, and I have to say, that I am growing fast, even if it is just in my own eyes! Every morning I wake, turn on my back and my bump seems to be higher. I also expect that one babiy was hiding sort of behind the other as well this morning, as one side of my bump felt higher than the other! (I am 18w+4). Do you know what 'flavour; you are having yet? Or did you decide not to find out now and wait for a surprise?

I'm having two girls or should I say pink flavours (please can someone update me on the list - I would only mess it up). I was not patient enought to wait till the birth and besides, I'm a planner. I NEED TO PLAN. I'm very excited and have bought loads of stuff - got a bit carried away in the sales. I have nothing else yet, so hopefully I will pick up bits once we move.

I too have one baby hiding, baby 1 is really low and is head down and is sort of behing baby two. Baby 2 is high up and is just under my stomach so I feel her moving every time I eat and she doesn't like it at all when I have something hot or cold lol.

I've only just learnt to distinguish which one is kicking based on where they are, and sometimes you can actually see a lump on my tummy where baby two is sticking her head out. Its very surreal and a bit freaky because I didn't think I would see that till much later. They both have their own personalities and baby 2 is the calm one and moves occassionally. Whereas baby 1 thinks its funny to kick the crap out of me! :rotfl:

Are you going to find out what flavours you're having? Do you know if you are having identical twins or non? My doctors have said they won't know until birth but mine have separate placentas (DCDA) so likely to be non.

OK ladies, I have my coupons at the ready and I cant wait to blitz the supermarkets and all stores who have baby discounts this weekend!

Re: orange juice - I used to boil some water, add some sugar to dissolve and then add to the orange juice from the fridge, so it was sweeter and not so cold. I usually hate diluted juices, but this way I could still drink it.

Pregnacare has 17mg, and Sanatogen ones have 14mg. Even though my packet of iron tablets is 200mg ones, there is actually about 60ml of iron, as the rest is the 'carrier' or whatever it is called.

Are you going to find out what flavours you're having? Do you know if you are having identical twins or non? My doctors have said they won't know until birth but mine have separate placentas (DCDA) so likely to be non.

Mine are non-identical. I would quite like a surprise (probably just to annoy my mother), but OH is set to find out, so I guess we will be finding if we can see anything. I can't really feel mine kicking yet, but guess that is not too far away. I only got some nappies with the vouchers that were expiring before Christmas, but then we already had some stuff as we had a room set up for our godson. However, nursery is going to be moved to another room, once OH pulls his fingers and sorts out plasterer/etc to do it. We would like to have it ready before Easter (read - I would like), but will see what happens, as if we will start doing something, we will be doing at least one room at the same time.
