We had someone who insisted DS2 was going to be a girl even though we clearly saw his boy parts on the ultrasound and had no doubts he would defiantly be a boy. Luckily I didn't have to see this person that often and the rest of the family were happy to accept that he was going to be a boy.
Hopefully once you have the scan your mum will stop saying silly stuff like that. Hope you get some nice photos of your little man :)
There is someone that has stopped in before to comment on ferritin and i now have a result from 2013...i guess it was tested...thats a few years ago at this point but seeing as how i am still anemic and was back then as well i doubt it has changed much...my ferritin level was 28..said within range but the cut off was 15 and goes into big numbers i think 200-300 something so that seems...ridiculous. Anyone have more info on that? someone had what their ob or endo said was 'optimal' ferritin range info..
Thing is i dont understand..ive been on an iron supplement this whole pregnancy because i worry about being anemic in pregnancy and it doesnt want to budge from 11.5... :(
I have no idea, but sounds like you could do with an infusion rather than suppsQuote:

Try proferrin, it is the only iron supp that worked for me. Doesn't have the constipation side effect either and the body can actually put it to use because it is heme iron.

got my ferritin panel back that they actually drew today and not in 2013...my ferritin is 24, so it has gotten worse :(
Right now a good iron supplement would probably only normalize me as i have had total and complete liquid this entire pregnancy. A result of my low TSH no doubt. I will look into that supplement cosmosis..thank you :)
Yw! <3 Speaking of liquid, alot of midwives have women take liquid chlorophyll to build good hemoglobin as well as prevent PP hemorrhage. You may want to add that in :)
My feritin was 8 but hemaglobin 118. The feritin is what you have stored available to make hemaglobin so you might just be converting all the supplements to hemaglobin and not able to catch up to store any? Anyway that is my basic understanding as I'm not a medical person!
My husband started building the crib, excited to start getting the nursery decorated. Only 7 weeks or so to go. They were worried about my blood pressure, so they gave me an ultrasound to be on the safe side. Everything looked great and he was weighting about 3 pounds. I was hoping there miraculously wouldn't be a penis but no such luck, it was clear as day. He did look cute though like his brother. Still feeling crazy amounts of jealousy every time I see a baby girl or someone announces they're expecting a girl. Wish I knew how to make those feelings go away, and just be happy with what I have.
