hey girls just checking in. glad to see everyone is doing well. I'm 19 weeks tomorrow- can't believe that I'm nearly half way!! Still haven't felt any movement yet- hopefully soon!

Javagal I was advised to take galfer aswell as pregnacare by nurses in the rotunda. I take a tab every 2nd day with orange juice.

I went for my flu jab yesterday-got myself a bit worked up about the risks etc but overall I think I made the right decision. Has anyone else had it?

Tinkerbell4484 we had a scan in babyscan in Swords before Christmas. It was amazing- you could see so much detail and the staff were so nice. Worth the money for sure. Good luck with it!!

I didn't gain anything. I lost almost 14 pounds.
When I asked my gp he said I should talk to hospital during next appointment.
I'm going to see consultant on 23.02 so I hope I will know more then.

I had scan today... they're bringing me back for another one in 9 weeks, but to ring them straight away if I have any more bleeding: my placenta is high though (sorry tmi!) so at least its not that! They don't normally do more than one scan.

They couldn't tell me if it was boy or girl either today

It was booking appt and had really crap day at it: they told me i hadn't had antenatal screen/blood type done by my GP (i had they found it after), that I didn't have an underactive thyroid (and trust me I think I'd know) that I must have the wrong dose of tablets I'm on because they were so high... I just wanted to scream.

Baby's healthy, thank god which is main thing. I have to go to specialist just to try and keep both of us healthy though!

Lol is that a tmi I didn`t know placenta`s were dirty or whatever! Glad your getting sorted and bleeding didn`t equate to a problem, think you`ve been through enough!

Haha my poor husband thought so: he turned a bit green when they started talking about it

Saurelin i know how worrying it is when you lose weight.. try not to worry too much: I lost more than you 19 pounds and my baby is fine (even if I feel abit tormented after today!).

My docs have told me not to take iron: my iron levels are normal, so are my ferritin levels and iron tablets so they've said theres no need.

Java I love the decal in the nursery

i.m other side of the spectrum !just caught a look at myself in the mirror i am huge! be interesting to see how we all measure up bump wise!

kildareash, when did they ask you to come back for your big scan? i went at 15weeks and they dont want me back till 26week

I was in the hospital about three weeks ago, and at my next hospital appointment I will be 28 weeks.

Boyf bought me spa voucher for Lyrath for valentines. I was totally surprised, because he'd already bought me a charm for my pandora bracelet. Have a big stupid grin on my face all evening

lucky girl! my bestie is getting married in lyrath in October- it is amazing!

Cyning I'm trying, but almost everyone told me I should gain by now, even midwife when I was in hospital 2 weeks ago said it is not great,
On the other hand I can again fit to size S (except bum and bubs: P)

I know. Unless their doctors or midwives ignore everyone else... everyones an expert when your pregnant! My consultant spent an age telling me my babs was a parasite and it was going to take what it needed: I clung to that for ages. Try not to worry too much untill you see consultant next week. Way easier said than done I know though...

[Saurelin]

I'm telling it to myself everyday.

My hubby give nick name to baby that mean parasite but it is not translatable to English.

Knacked after putting on that decal piece by piece, pic attached if anyone wants to see..

Ladies, Should I be taking iron?? I'm on pregnacar atm

Thats fab! Must get something like that. Our nursery is very big and I'm worried about it looking very bare, so hopefully something like that will make it look nice. Was it easy to put on? Are they stickers?

[Mink]

Java the decal is so nice, very tasteful. *must restrain self from stealing the idea*

Cyning glad to hear all fine with babs & placenta up high. Show your man a liver next time in butchers, that's what it looks like kind of.

Maeby I went to babyscan in Swords before Christmas as well and they were very nice. It felt a bit rushed but in fairness we were late getting there so it was more our fault.

Well took hubby to see War Horse last night and sure wasn't the president of Ireland on a date with his missus two rows ahead of us! However... I lost the plot with my hormones and spent the last 45 mins of the film crying. It was all I could do to stop myself outright sobbing. My face was flooded with tears and snot. Then when the film was over I just wanted to get out of the cinema as I was so embarrassed so I was legging it out ahead of my hubby. He said all the other couples were giving him dirty looks as in "what a prick upsetting his missus on Valentines night". Ah it was funny!

yeah they are stickers silly! once you cut it all out its just transfer straight onto wall. there is some amazing ones on etsy.com. there is some big ones that would be great to take up wall space in a bigger room !

woke up 2 hours late for college would hugely swollen glands and sore ears. day in bed well needed!
