Sammies mummy and weight watching diary

It's hard going but I only work 4 days a week so I get a nice long weekend but definitely looking forward to my maternity leave . I finish on the 6th march so not too much longer!
I probably could have finished at the end of march but now that we're moving it means waking up another half an hour earlier and getting home half an hour later which I dont think il manage up to 36 weeks so being sensible and finishing at 34 weeks .
My tea is never anything exciting I'm too zonked to bother normally a baked potato and salad or bowl of pasta ! X

No not too long I guess.. .but still more than I'd like at this late stage.. You poor thing... The longer day really has started at the worst time.. But still super exciting to be moving x

Sorry just seen march 6th not long at all x

So came home today to a letter from the hospital saying I am anaemic and need iron tablets .. To be honest I kind of expected this earlier on especially since I am a vegetarian and my diet is pretty poor but I guess it explains why I have been feeling so tired.
Anyone else have experience with this? X

Have they sent u a prescription too? Or are OTC ones ok??
I've not needed them but missy has. N she's veggie too so am sure she can give u advice/answer q's u might have x

 

[Sammielouise071]

It says on the letter I need to take the letter to my gp and get a prescription .. Gah knowing my doctors I probably won't get an appointment for over a week .
Might go and get some green veg tonight and try and improve my diet a bit..

Maybe if you explain you got the letter and need a prescription for iron they'll fit you in sooner??? Or just do a script and leave it at reception?? That's what they sometimes do at my surgery anyway...
If you're taking pregnacare or anything make sure you mention that too as it contains iron too and you don't want to take too much of it... Also a little tip I was given was to take vit C when taking iron as it helps your body soak it in... Also helps stop the iron "clogging you up" x

Hi girls
Well we're finally moved into our new house ... Yay
It feels sooooo nice to be in our own proper house.. Not a horrible one bedroom flat.. Just having a bath and an extra loo is amazing and being warm and cosy on our new sofa..seriously a happy girl right now . We don't have a tv yet so it's all very quiet but we should be getting that tonight but we have to wait til Friday to get sky fitted which is fine by me I'm usually tired after work anyway so a nice bubble bath and a chill in bed is all I need.
Foods been mainly good other than Friday.. We had a huge Chinese because we were in between houses and cooking was just not going to happen but it was totally worth the calories.
Have decided not to weigh In for a couple of weeks I have no idea how much I weigh at the moment but to be honest I'm quite enjoying not knowing and not getting myself stressed over it.
Today I'm working til 6.30pm and had to be up at 6am as our new house is a half hour drive from work this also means I won't get home til 7pm so it's going to be an extremely long day boo weather is also rubbish so we won't be going anywhere which makes it even worse.
Ah well at least I get to go home to a brand new house eeek sorry I'm just so happy to finally be in! X

Ahh I'm having one of those days where I can't stop eating! Help lol!
I've already eaten 2 x biscuits with my cup of tea this morn, a bowl of fruit and fibre , a little square of the boys toast , a cheesy breadstick with some grapes and a chomp and it's only 11.40 gahh can see today going badly food wise :/

 

[Sammielouise071]

30+5?

having a bit if a shitty day today.. I knew from the minute I got up it was going to be one of those days.
Wednesdays is a busy day at work too as there's lots going on and all I've wanted to do is curl up in bed with my duvet and sleep I think my low iron probably isn't doing me any favours at the moment but I've got my prescription today so hopefully that will improve my tiredness.
Foods been good so far this week but still haven't weighed in as I feel massive I think I'm literally carrying all the wright on my tummy and back so round my middle I just feel huge.
On an unrelated note is anyone else suffering from dry sore itchy hands? I'm not sure whether it's the cold weather or the pregnancy but my skin is so dry and my hands all around my knuckles are red and sore.

Also so thought I'd include bump pic at nearly 31 weeks .. Excuse the state of me

 

[Pinknails2012]

You look lovely anyway even if you don't feel it x
