November Chit Chat

[Mochagirl]

I know your angel will be a part of this next pregnancy w/you and she'll be w/you forever...I feel the same way you do and it gives me peace. I think of you all the time and I'm sending you cyber everyday.

Thanks, Jen - that means a lot coming from you . It makes me feel so much better to think our angel babies are watching over us. I'm really hoping we can be due date buddies.

I think we will be but regardless, we'll stick together!!!

Mocha- I got loads of responses! I'm going to compile them and send them to you privately It'll just take some time...I'm on my iPhone (have been since Monday) because my 3.5yo dumped a cup of water on my keyboard...and half the keys are toast Need to get a new one this weekend. Anyway- the general consensus- Absolutely no problem trying right away. A few mentioned the 11w mark thinking it is was Chromasomal and most likely would not happen again. A couple mw's suggested getting iron levels checked because of blood loss. It can affect the next pregnancy. Flouradix daily is fantastic for anemia from blood loss. I'll get the rest of the info sent to you talk soon! xoxo

Thank you Jen, what a lovely post to come home from work to I had no idea a cord was meant to look elastic and healthy (or how I'd tell if mine was!) so that's good to hear too. I'm going to try and find out my boys' scan photos but I honestly think there are no gender clues in any of them!

The lady at work who is due 10 days before me showed me her scan photo today and it looks really girlie! She already has a girl (with a different partner), she never eats breakfast and is always eating sweets and they had problems conceiving so that would be my prediction for her anyway! I told everyone at work my news today and one of the ladies said 'some men just can't make sperm of both sexes' - I kept my trap shut of course! I had to announce on FB today (I would have done it soon anyway) as DS1 told everybody about it in Show and Tell at school!!

DM - thanks SO much for the info. I'm going to the doctor on Friday to have my blood checked. I'm a little concerned my iron will be low, not only from the m/c, but also cause I'm now back on the LE diet. The last few nights I've been continuing to take my prenatal rather than just the folic so I'd get that extra iron, but I keep thinking I should switch back to just folic to improve my sway. Maybe I shouldn't?

[DoulaMama]

You don't need a prenatal-folic acid is good BUT, I would seriously consider Flouradix. It's got highly absorbable iron in it- you'd only need to take one bottle for a months time. It has some B vitamins and plant extracts in it that would really help your body to heal, get your iron up and help with conception. I do think the sway is important but IMO the health of your body is much more important. xoxo

Thanks for the advice, DM - I'll definitely look into it. Where would I find it - a health food store?

[DoulaMama]

Yup- any health food store would have it. I am anemic(my mom is too)and managed to get my blood up enough for a homebirth with DS2. It was quite low and I raised it over 10 points! It really works

[Mochagirl]

Great - I'll go out tonight to look for some once my Mom gets to town and can stay with the kids.

BTW (and apologies to everyone else for the TMI), I had one more big clot come out last night, and it contained grey tissue that I think must have been the sac they saw still in there on my u/s. Hopefully this means my uterus is clear now and the bleeding will stop soon. I have a follow-up u/s scheduled for Tuesday, then a doctor's appointment on Friday, so hopefully I'll hear everything's healthy.

Z- that is so cute on show and tell LOL! And the stupid comment about some man can't make both type of sperm wth?
yeah it's thru but for a very small % (like my DH lol) and why say something like that? She don't like you or she is just jealous of you!
