Not much to say... am feeling pretty horomonal today so won't ramble on too much. Have had a funny day all up.
Had my hospital appt this morning and has much as I was hoping this was going to be my last appt with them but they want me to go back in 4wks time (after I have had my next scan to check the top of the spine) to be on the safe side. I mentioned my continous tiredness and the Dr there wants me to try some Iron tablets which generally is ok but as they haven't tested my Iron Levels at all I am a bit cautious about taking them just yet... so will check with the Midwife when I see her tomorrow. My other "problem" at the moment is my back - am having a lot of problem with my back so will mention that to my MW as well. I am also going to try a Homopatheic Spray to assist me in sleeping... god I sound like I am moaning about this pregnancy when deep down I am so happy about it all. I guess I am finding all the bad things at the moment rather than the good things!
To be honest I am shit scared about this whole pregnancy thing especially as it progresses but thats another story altogether...
Catch ya all later

Hey hun, pregnancy can suck at times, even if you want it more than anything in the world. Look at how happy I have been since Natalia has been born - SO much of that is to do with the fact that I'm not pregnant anymore. It's hard work, that's for sure. I have no doubt in my mind that you are going to cope beautifully with the rest of it. It might be the hardest thing you've ever done, but it will be the best too, and there is nothing sweeter than holding that little baby in your arms, and knowing you walked the hard road to get there.

Hey
I hope you feel "better". When I was pregnant with my daughter (now 11 months old), I took floridix (sp??) tablets. They have iron in them but don't seem to have the same side effects as full on iron tablets, such as the dreaded constipation!!!
Just remember, soon you will be holding your little girl in your arms and all of these nasty problems will be a thing of the past - in fact, you even forgot how horrible it was at times. Your little girl will be soooo worth it, I promise.
Kate is so right!
It is hard work, with the most amazing reward at the end :o)
Sorry you're feeling scared about things. I remember being apprehensive the first time....I just didn't know what my body was (or wasn't) capable of. I worried about my waters breaking in the supermarket, I worried about the pain of childbirth...I worried and worried!
Just as well I had the lovely job of nesting to keep my mind of it some of the time! I just loved getting together little clothes, woollens, and the nursery. I think the time before my first baby came was one of the most fun of my life (I enjoyed it more than planning my wedding!).
As it turned out I had a pefectly straightforward (if tiring!) 12 hour labour with no pain meds required and my waters didn't break until the second last push (not in aisle 4 by the tinned fruit like I'd been fearing!)....
You will not only have a beautiful baby girl at the end of this Karen, you'll have a LOT of respect for your body and what it's capable of.
I should have mentioned....yeah, my midwife recommended Floradix too (no constipation with that!) - the liquid version though, from the supermarket. Ended up taking it right through breastfeeding 14 months as well. Wonderful stuff!
Karen, I can really relate to your fears as I spent every week of my pregnancy feeling the exact same way, but when your little girl is born you'll realise what a miracle she is after everything you've been through. As to the problems throughout pregnancy, well I don't think anyone can go through the entire duration without some complaints and what better place for you to be able to vent than in your own journal - just focus on one day at a time, the end result is so worth it!
Hey karen, re your sore back, get on your hands and knees and stay there for about 2-3 mins every so often, if you know what I mean, it takes the pressure of your back and lets baby move too... youll giggle at the strange sensation, another great thing was a wheat bag placed on your back when your in bed..keep positive and happy
Cheers
Margaret
Its no surprise to hear that you are feeling scared about the pregnancy, and it is normal to feel that way. The advice from all the mums sounds pretty good, and I am taking notes as well.
Are you taking any pregnancy vitamins?
Hope you have a lovely day today.
This is such an emotional time and one minute you are overwelmed with happiness and the next you are scared stiff.......all normal honey.
The advise from Margaret sounds like it worth giving it a try.
You won't believe me now but you will miss being pregnant once you have had your wee girl (for a little while) as it is such a unique experience.
