Lol I love One Born, think some of the people on it have been fab.

I dont think I'm scared this time, although I can't remember DD's birth in detail for some reason.

I know I went in at 11pm and she was here by 4, then home by 4pm so not bad at all.

Aiming for something similar this time.

I'm having to wee almost constantly and it's really getting me down, unsure if I could have an infection or not! It's not sore at all so this is what's making me think not, as in the past it's been sore to actually go and my body is just "sore"

aimless i do think when your iron is low it makes you tired, i think you can take other things, think there might be a powder which you make into a drink? dont know if you can take it when you're preggars though? someone will hopefully correct me in a minute.

I don't know if I'm tired because of lack of iron, or tired because I never get enough sleep and am usually up at least once or twice each night weeing, or with heartburn, or aches somewhere.

Twice now I'm been to the nurse thinking I had an infection, when in fact it was just baby with head jammed in my bladder! If you're not sure, just pop along with a sample, they're generally happy to check it. They've even sent mine off for double checking both times, to be on the safe side.

I've got a feeling they'l tell me the same, some days it's not that bad, and some days it's terrible so I'm assuming it maybe is just baby's head jammed there. I think he's definitely got his head down there anyway, because his feet are tickling my ribs as we speak.

I will leave it a few days, and see how it goes.

lol Gilly thats what I thought, even kept pointing out the little feet by my ribs to OH, until the midwife told me he was breech even though I have huge pressure in my pelvis, that will be babys feet then!

Aimless I think 10.6 is borderline so for that you would be put on iron tablets but it's not that low. If that makes sense? Think anything under 11 is considered anaemic. I've been on and off them all my pregnancy but finally my levels seem to be up

Noo he definitely is, or he was at my last appointment anyway, he's been head down for weeks now, I know he'l move at the last minute though

Thanks, yes that does make sense. I'll give them a try then, but not panic too much if they don't agree with me. Wonder why I'm on two a day if it is only borderline?

Hmm not sure - maybe the strength of the tablet? What are they called? Mine were Pregaday. I tend to take one every other day so they don't block me up too much :rotfl:!
