good morning ladies

So the appt went great yesterday. I got the green light for a VBAC and I'm measuring right at 24 weeks. Baby had a strong heartbeat at 140. Praise God! I'm typing one handed, so gotta keep it short lol. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Awww 21 weeks and my belly has popped out... im feeling so exhausted again though to the point where the thought of walking upstairs scares me... my belly just feels so heavy..im not looking forward to the rest of the weeks..anyone else like this x

^^^Yes!!! I'm SO tired all of the time!! I find napping a bit during the day doesn't help me, because napping makes it harder for me to fall asleep at night.

I feel like I'm HUGE despite only gaining 14-16lbs! I still exercise but for only 30-40min a day, otherwise it just zaps what energy I have left!

Hi all! I had to take a break for awhile as my GD has been quite bad. Im 21weeks now & still havent told anyone about the pregnancy yet other than hubby & our parents. Thankfully it has been a cold winter & it has been easy to hide so far. I did tell my best friend that we were expecting another DS & even she didnt believe me! She was in absolute shock that I got 3/3 boys. I dread telling anyone because of the constant comments that this will be a girl & do I want a girl. Both my mother & MIL are both adament that it is a girl & it is just so hurtful. I cant enjoy this pregnancy at all &I feel so ripped off that it is another DS. I keep focussing on our loss last year & that it was probably my DD. All I keep doing now is researching HT & focusing on another pregnancy & hubby wont listen. He isnt being supportive at all & just laughed when I told him it was another DS. I was so angry at him. He said we could always get a female dog & I slammed the door in his face. He just doesnt get it. He wants to tell everyone that I am pregnant & I just cant. We havent even told our boys yet. I have always loved being pregnant & I want this baby more than anything after our miscarriage last year but I am really struggling. I love both of my DS & I am sure I will love this baby too but I just cant get past needing a DD in my life. I am seeing a counsellor but I dont feel like I can talk about the GD as it is such a taboo topic. She knows that I am struggling mentally with thie pregnancy & even my OB dismissed me when I said I was struggling. What do I do? It was hard enough saying that I was mentally struggling without being completely dismissed. I dont think I am depressed but I am just so stuck.

KC, I know I'm not a part of this DDG but I saw your post about struggling with GD and felt the need to comment. I found out I was having DS3 last year after a long pink sway and losses. I felt much like you described and struggled with it A LOT. I even felt depressed at times. If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me. Hang in there. Hopefully counselling will help.

kc - HUGS. I know the struggle all too well. I know the subject is so very taboo, but you NEED to open up to your counselor about the GD. It will help to just get it out! It really will and that is what they are there for. After DH and I talked about my struggles and feelings about it all, it really helped. I am just so heartbroken to hear that you are struggling so bad. I just wish we could all be in a room together to get out a good cry and to hug each other! Thank you for coming on here and telling us how you feel.
You are not alone at all. And I have often thought about the babies we have lost and figured they were our girls. I even am pretty sure that the early stages of this pregnancy, when I had all the bleeding and cramping, I was miscarrying a twin for this one. And I often think that it was our girl. I know I shouldn't because it is just torturing myself, but I do. So I am just going to say that every thought you have had - I would guarantee that someone else on this site has thought and maybe even voiced the same things. HUGS

Any recommendations on how/when to take iron pills?

I passed my GD test but failed hemoglobin. So I'm on a slow release iron pill again like my last pregnancy /: but I HATED taking them and they made me so sick. I also can't take prenatal gummies anymore. I have to take the pills cuz I guess they have more in them??

I hate taking both. But I don't wanna be anemic

Same here, my midwife told me to take blood builder by megafood. You can even take it on an empty stomach. So far I haven't felt any bad effects. I'm supposed to take six(!) everyday because of my levels.
