I started my prenatal vitamins today!

[bicentennial_baby]

:woohoo:

Exciting and scary...Who knows what the next 12 months will bring?

:hi:

[Omphaloskepsis]

1. Yellow urine and dark stool?

Are you trying to get pregnant?

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Not yet, hence the "Pre"

Hopefully trying this winter or early spring. :)

[Danger Mouse]

36. TMI TMI TMI TMI

:cry:

[Shakespeare]

3. That's worthy of a few more of these:

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

:hi: :loveya:

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Heehee...thank you....

Exciting times, no?

:loveya:

[Shakespeare]

6. And the "trying" part is the most fun.

Bonus! :thumbsup:

[bicentennial_baby]

8. Ha! You got that right!

:rofl: I'm chock full of Folic Acid! :rofl:

[sniffa]

5. you are so hurtfuL

how couLd you post this on DU. :cry:

[bicentennial_baby]

7. Eh, I live up to my reputation...

:P

:spank:

[Maine-ah]

9. piece of advice...

they'll bung you up, drink plenty of water! and good luck! :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Good to know! Thank you!

Is it the iron?

:hi:

[Maine-ah]

12. yep.

I'm still on them since I'm still BF'ing BB Maine-ah. I can't wait to get off of them. While I was prego, I was drinking almost 2 liters of water a day. Damn good thing my desk was next to the bathroom :)

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Yeah, I used to take Iron for Anemia...

I was insanely anemic...While a normal level is around 40, I was a 4... :wow:

That's cleared up now though...But at least I'm familiar with the territory. :D

:pals:

[The Straight Story]

11. Awesome! Been through 5 kids myself and have seen it all in this process

Good luck and take the vitamins - and keep a DAMNED close eye on your blood pressure please as things progress.

This can be a wonderful and yet weird time for you - take care of yourself!

Oh, and avoid threads in GD :)

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Well, we're not starting to try for a few months, but

I have historically low BP naturally, so hopefully that won't be an issue.

Thanks :pals:

[Gormy Cuss]

15. That's a bit of an overreaction, don't you think?

The kitteh only lost one tooth.

:hi:


Good for you, getting an early start especially with the folic acid.

[bicentennial_baby]

16. Ha!

You... :spank:

Thanks. I think it's a good idea too. :)

:hi:

[Taverner]

17. Ooooh you're gonna be a mommy? Don't take this the wrong way but...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You don't want to do that to yourself!!!! Parenthood is a curse! A curse I tell ya! No more Bibaby time! No more Sniffatime! Only BABYTIME!

Seriously, have fun and good luck! We lefties need to have more kids - the Freepers are outfucking us.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Eventually...

I'm starting them early to get a good vitamin rich bloodstream prior to conception. It will be a few months before we really start trying. I know that our life will change radically, but we want that.

And I'll outfuck a FReeper any day of the week :D

[Taverner]

20. HAHAHAHAHAHA

The part that wifey had the hardest part was no wine. We have orgasmic Chardonnays thrown at us, like cold weather is thrown at you. She didn't imbibe for those whole 9 months. She also didn't partake in the 420.

I knew right then I probably couldn't be a mommy, even if the biological rules were adjusted towards my gender.

Cheers! And enjoy the contraception! That's the most fun part. Seriously!

[bicentennial_baby]

23. Dropping the booze will stink...

Along with the butts...sigh. I may take a hit now and then, but that's it. I suppose it will all be worth it. :P

[Taverner]

24. 420 is better for you than alchohol

Something to keep in mind :)

420 mainly affects the male

Alcohol mainly affects the female

[bicentennial_baby]

27. Yep...I know.

I plan to stop the booze before we start trying. The butts, that might happen once we know we are pregnant. Or earlier, I'm looking into Chantix. The weed, as I said, a hit here or there, but not the daily usage once I'm with child. It's gonna suck, but it's what I have to do.

[Taverner]

37. Can you outfuck this?

They're gaining on us I tell ya!!!

[bicentennial_baby]

42. Touche...

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

19. I can't wait to live vicariously through your baby-stuff!

Since clearly, I am in no mind (and have no means) to reproduce, ever again!

:thumbsup:

[Taverner]

21. Reproduction is overrated

Sure - it was fun to conceive...

And I know I would never do otherwise...but imagine, if I had only lived for ME ME ME ME! I'd be a Republican by now!

[LaraMN]

25. The sad part is

I don't think my last two were even conceived with much "fun" involved.
That was pre-Wellbutrin.

:rofl:

[Taverner]

29. Ahhhh welbutrin does enhance the libido, no?

First took that and I was like "wow!"

[LaraMN]

30. I think we've had this discussion...

:rofl:

I'm just glad that effect didn't wear off!

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Oh, you'll hear plenty!

Hell, I'll probably start a blog... :D

Nice update, btw... :P

[LaraMN]

26. You like that?

When you're ttc-ing, I'm going to barrage you with pronouncements like, "HOW IS YOUR CERVICAL MUCUS CONSISTENCY, BI-BABY?! ARE YOU CHECKING?! ARE YOU?!"

[bicentennial_baby]

28. Hahahahaha!

No worries!! I have "Taking Charge of your Fertility"...I'm well versed in the nature of cervical mucus, temperature, etc...

:rofl: You crack me up...

[mzteris]

31. it's as important for the male

half to be healthy - eat, drink, etc - as the female in the months leading up to, ya know.

Good luck!!

And - er - have fun trying! :rofl:

[crim son]

32. Good god, woman.

You're asking for trouble! :P

[bicentennial_baby]

33. Hehe...

I'm not getting any younger...I'll be 31 in December. The time is nigh! :rofl:

:hi:

And if you mean by starting this thread, well...I don't really give a crap what everyone thinks anymore. :D

[crim son]

34. No, it's the vitamins I'm worried about!

That and the babies... the darned, cute, sweet-smelling babies who look like you and/or sniffa. I don't know how you can even contemplate it...



:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

35. We're ready!

Kinda, sorta, in the only way that you can be 'ready' for that... :rofl:

And I swear, when we see babies in the grocery store, etc, he gets more pangs than I do! :P

[Midlodemocrat]

38. Well, let's hope the baby isn't as hairy as sniffa.

He/she can be just as cute, just not as hairy.

[redqueen]

39. Oh, I remember those things...

The iron in those things used to make me feel so sick. Hope you don't get that.

And good luck! :D :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

41. I had a little tummy ache yesterday...

But, I've been on iron before, my body will adjust :)

Thanks! :hi:

[redqueen]

44. Aw...

Sorry about your tummy ache... but I love your positive attitude. :)

I didn't get tummyaches... just nausea... bad. Bleh! :P

[VenusRising]

40. Brave-ass woman!

Good luck with all that, but most importantly....



HAVE FUN!! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

:hi::hug:

[AngryOldDem]

43. Get ready for long nails and beautiful, thick hair

Kinda makes up for the constipation.

You'll also feel probably the best you've ever felt. My ob/gyn says he takes them just because they're just damn good vitamins.
