Lucky mama! Congratulations
Have you just referred to the midwife services?Any typically the midwife hasn't rang
How far along are you?
Thinking of you… let us know how you get on x
I don’t know the answer but I'm
Is there a reason you're expecting to be told you have it?
Oh my god I thought my price was disgusting!!! How do they expect people to afford it?
I should have said I try and avoid eggs where I can 🫠Egg bites! Full of protein and you can add all the veggies. Mix eggs and a little milk into a jug, spray some oil all over a muffin tray and add the mix, throw in your fave veggies maybe a lil cheese and Chuck in the oven for 20 mins at 200
Is it a full on blood test they do or just a finger prick? Just so I can mentally prepare myself if it's two proper blood tests in one day
Looks smack bang between 50th and 90th, so around the 70th
Missed this last night but I had a growth scan yesterday at 28+5 and my baby was also estimated at 3lb5! It looks like just under 90th centile on the growth chart which is on the high side but not outside of normal range, so if he follows that trajectory he will end up around 9lb, very consistent with babies in my immediate family. But your growth chart might look different, I don't know how they work them out!
Also my nephew was 8lb8 at birth but doesn't looks chubby as he is tall like his parents, my guess is our baby will be chubby as there is less height on my side of the family.
Whatever your baby weighs she will be tiny and cute (she'll a newborn after all) and if anyone starts making negative comparisons you're well within your rights to tell them where to go, they are different babies and will be their own little people.
This is something I've been thinking about a bit as my baby will be quite close in age to his cousin (9-10 months apart) so it feels quite natural to compare what they were doing at different ages. We are also borrowing a lot of stuff from my SIL which could lend itself to comments like oh has he grown out of it already (although she is lovely and would never say that with any negative intent) and I don't want to get into a habit of making comparisons especially if it could be construed negatively one way or the other. All these things to think about and they aren't even here yet!
Bloody loads if I'm honest
Probiotics
Choline 550mg a day
Collagen 1g a day
Vitamin D 2000iu (this is loads more than in my multi vit and more than my consultant recommended which was 800iu)
Calcium 1000mg
Omega 3
Also made a big thing about getting capsules rather than tablets because that will mean the ingredients are purer (ie they weren't huge fans of pregnacare as there is extra stuff in the tablets to make them into tablet size/shape but surely the capsules have stuff in them to keep the ingredients in?)
Not sure they presented it in a v helpful way as lots of people in the chat immediately started going oh my god should I stop taking my pregnacare! I am a tiny bit sceptical about supplements beyond a certain point but others will feel very differently.
The tablet comment is funny to me cos my midwife gave me multivit and folic acid tablets. Surprised they haven't suggested the collagen cause I have EDS which is caused by a lack of collagenMissed this last night but I had a growth scan yesterday at 28+5 and my baby was also estimated at 3lb5!

. Everywhere seems to do everything so different depending on trust and area.
