I may have responded to an earlier post you had about the prenatals. I never even tried prenatals. I've had such a rough time w/ regular vitamins over the years. I knew they wouldn't work well. I take Viactiv - a chewable multivitamin. It doesn't have any iron...I DON'T want to be more C. And I take extra folic acid (Rx of 1mg). I don't have IBS now, so I don't worry about the ingredients in the vitamin. Anyway, I've been taking that combo since about Dec. of '06. Both my RE and my OB are fine with it. And so far my bloodwork has been normal...even my iron levels!! Hopefully that will continue through the rest of the pregnancy. As it is digestion is getting a little slower as the baby gets bigger. So I don't want to add iron to the mix now. I will have blood work done at my next appt. (Feb. 6) b/c I have my glucose tolerance test. So we'll see if they check my iron levels again too.
I also take medication for hypothyroidism. If you haven't had your thyroid levels checked I would definitely do that. It can really affect fertility.
Our u/s went well last week. The baby looks perfectly healthy!!! And it's still very active I think it's been kicking for the last hour! My poor belly :P But we are very thankful and feel very blessed. Only 13 1/2 weeks until our little one arrives!!! We can't wait.
