I looked up NCT earlier after we were talking about groups. It's £4 a month to join. Seems to be a few bumps and babies things near me.
Laura hope the new prescription boosts your iron. Can you take that and the multivitamin together?

GP has prescribed me 192mg of iron a day!!! crazy, taking that much iron will interfer with absorption of zinc which is really important for babys growth. ( i have a degree in nutrition and feel really frustrated by the advice i have received today)

i called and spoke with a midwife at the practice to check if she felt i could continue to take my multivit and the prescribed iron from my GP (i didnt know at the time the ridiculous level they had prescribed me) she said there was no need to take my multivit anymore as i wouldnt need folic acid anymore (maybe not to protect against spina bifida as this is early in pregnancy, but adequate folate levels are needed for iron absorption) she said that vitamin D wasnt that important to take anyway (which makes me mad as vitamin D is vitally important to take in pregnancy and when breastfeeding)

anyway i am mad, there are not many things i am passionate about but nutrition is one of them.

therefore i am going to continue to take my multi vit with one other iron tablet (64mg) and increase iron foods in my diet.

if anyone is interested in testing their vit D levels you can order a test for £25 at http://www.vitamindtest.org.uk/index.html

rjn - i brought my ball from tkmax for £10 , its a really good quality one. make sure you buy the right size for your height.

have felt quite tired today and sore back so was pleased to finish work, bring on the weekend when i am shopping in nottingham with a friend

i love superhero stuff - went to see the avengers the other night, really enjoyed it although did get a bit of a headache with watching it in 3D

ailzee - hope things have progressed and baby is on its way

a woman at works daughter just gave birth to her third child - she stayed at home till near the end and was too late to have anykind of pain relief when she got to hospital, labour was only 4 hours though.

lots of babies - means moving up the list which is scary

Hi everyone. I've not managed to keep up much these last few days as I've been busy at work. Will try harder!

Triangle - congrats on finishing work!

How soon before due dates are you all starting maternity leave? I don't really have much of an idea of what's normal. Already looking forward to it...

Milliebob

Hi everyone, just wanted to tell somebody the results of our 20 week scan earlier today. Very healthy and normal, we are very happy!
We found out the sex and we're keeping it a secret from family & friends so I'm dying to tell you guys..... It's a boy! we're shocked as we thought it was a girl!

sexymouse

Congratulations Milliebob -am I to take it that you are another September due date? Wow the boys are ruling September - wonder if this means that I'll be team blue tomorrow when I have my scan?

ikkle87

Good luck for tomorrow sexymouse, theres lots of boys for September.

I'm hoping to have my scan in 3 weeks when I'm 22 weeks and I think we are having a girl seeing as baby likes Rihanna and not daddy's horrible dubstep music lol. Everyone else thinks it's a girl too. I won't mind if it's a boy though. Happy either way
