out #3 is on it way!!! Yes, I am pregnant. I found out yesterday and my docotor's office confirmed it today. I would not have brought it up so soon execpt I have a question about the prenatal vitamins. They are Citracal Prenatal RX and they contain a stool softener. The package says it contains Ultradense calcium citrate. I know some women experience constipation when they are pregnant but since I have been IBS D I wasn't sure if I should take these. I suppose I should call the doctor and I guess it wouldn't hurt to try and see how I react to it.

You will have to excuse me if I am not making sense I am not quiet used to all this yet. I saw the other post on prenatal vitamins but no one mentionted this brand.

My youngest will be 4 next month and I was just thinking it has been so long it feels like I am starting over. Life has been fairly easy with the girls and now we have to go back to locking cabnets and such. I could be wrong but I think there maybe more than Lana and I expecting. I am sure there will be more soon.

We want to know what the sex is before, however, both of the girls didn't cooperate so I may not be able to find out. I don't have a preference, just healthy baby and an easy delivery. Amazing how the memories come back when you realize you have to do it again.

I knew it would be soon ... but you still snuck up on me! As for the stool softener - I'd be pretty nervous about taking it - especially since you're D. After month three, maybe. IN the meantime, call your Doc - you're right to ask about them. Hope you are feeling all right, let us know if you aren't. We're here for you - ohhhh, another pregnancy to go through on the board - how wonderful! I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!!

I was just as suprised. My doctor had just started testing last Thursday for infertility. I wish I had gone to see him this week. I wouldn't have had to go for bloodwork. I guess the bloodwork was better than the other test so I won't complain. I'm still curious if the bloodwork showed I was pregnant.

I tried the vitamin last night and I actually feel really good today. I remember when I first started having IBS symptoms he had mentioned that constipation didn't necessarily mean not having a BM for a while. He mentioned you can go everyday when your constipated, they just tend to be long and skinny. I tend to be more like that lately so maybe these vitamins won't be a problem. I will definatly call if I have a problem.
