I seem to have developed a strong addiction to ice. I didn't really think anything of it until now, since I hear it's a common symptom of iron deficiency that a lot of pregnant women have. Should I bother getting iron supplements this late in my pregnancy? I don't mind the addiction, I'm just concerned about what might happen if I try to give birth without enough iron in my system. Could getting iron supplements really help that much?
@poohzbaby328 Thanks so much. :) I'll go out tonight and look for them. Any chance you could send a pic of the brand you use?
My dr said that the gummies don't have iron in them they have actual flinstones vitamins with iron for like $5 at Walmart and they are the small ones
@poohzbaby328 I've been taking gummy Flintstones vitamins from Bayer during my whole pregnancy. If those are supposed to have enough iron in them then Idky I'm having this problem? I was just thinking of getting some little capsules of iron over the counter.
Yeah my dr told me that I can take flinstones vitamins with iron to get my iron up before delivery so I don't have to get a blood transfusion because I told him that I was doing the same thing (eating ice while I was working in a factory)
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
