So my health looks good on paper. I managed to keep all my iron and vitamin levels up for over 2 months without any pre-natal vitamins. That being said, the prenatal vitamins make me sick because there's too much iron in them. Ugh. I can't win. Damn all you anemic women out there.

And out of the blue…

Zenten: You're going to get cankles
Me: *dropped jaw*
Zenten: It's okay, it's not like you're going to be able to see them.

Don't they make prenatal vitamis without iron? Or maybe you can take normal multivitamis (with less iron) plus whatever else is needed instead of the prenatal.

And I can't believe he said that o_O

Those stupid pre-natal vitamins made me sick too! I stopped taking them right away and Alex turned out ok.

Cankles? hrmmm

Talk to your doctor about the prenatal vitamins making you sick, if it is that bad. He may have alternative suggestions. The main reason they have us take the prenatal vits is more for the folic acid than anything else.

Oh yeah...do Kegels regularly...like everyday. Before and after birth. You will be glad you did. Really glad.

If anyone tell you to that apply coco butter everyday prevent stretch marks...they are full of it.

One more thing. When you get too big to see your feet...check in the mirror to make sure your shoes match. I learned through experience. :P

The problem is our family doctor is a moron. But I'm sure the obstetrician would be able to provide advice on that.

Well played on the cankles comment.
