I'm so happy for you Butterfly congrats!! :hugs:
Thanks ladies, and no clotting when I woke up! :)
I believe this little one is here to stay!
:pray: and happy thoughts headed your way! :)
Atomic, I am so greatful for your wealth of knowledge and support! :)
I haven't been keeping track of the raspberry leaves... I think it was 2-3 days ago..
I think I will go through my thread and try to figure out what the pattern might be.
I'm going to maintain all my other supps just the way they are. :)
Take one and then wait a few more days, then one more and be done with it! That's plenty gradual enough.
My BFFs mom says I can continue BFing if I want...
but that I should double my prenatals.....
I take flintstone sour gummie vitamins (2)
and extra folic acid (800 mcg)

I'm having the worst cramps only on the left side of my lower belly & I am gassy today & mega bloated so to ease my loves mind I'll take a test for him but me being in denial I say AF is coming because of how bloated I am
My last 2 pregnancies made me SO nauseated that I just tried them (2 is the adult dose) with extra folic. My doctors had absolutely NO problem with them! :)Quote:

DO NOT double prenatal vitamins. Many vitamins are not safe in higher doses and can actually cause birth defects.Quote:

The only difference between BF and not BF is about 300 extra cals a day. Which, if you're like me, when you're pregnant you eat that much more anyway!! :) I gained 80 lbs when BF DS 4 and already gained 35 lbs with this pg. o.O
I did have anemia, but I really think that's because this baby doesn't "like" meat and not because of BF. I also had anemia with my second son (not BF) and twice when I was a teenager and not even pregnant.
Bloated and gassy are two of the telltale signs of early pg. I look more bloated at 10 DPO (when preggo) than I look when I'm 8 weeks pregnant.Quote:
