    My youngest is the 8 August. How are you finding things, have you had any sickness. I was lucky enough to miss all that.
  • Gem7321
    Gem7321 Registered Posts: 1,438 Beyond epic contributor πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ
    I've had everything you can imagine! To begin with I had really bad sickness, cravings, I was exhausted all the time, tearful all the time. Now I'm feeling a bit more energized but I'm getting terrible heart burn (apparently means the baby will be born with lots of hair!) and other horrible things that I won't go into...

    How many kids do you have? Were you lucky with all of them?
  • katsutlieff
    katsutlieff Registered Posts: 459 Dedicated contributor πŸ¦‰
    I completely sympathise with the heart burn, I lived on Gaviscon for each of my pregnancies and yes they all had thick black hair when they were born. Your midwife/doctor should be able to give you a prescription for a bucket size bottle.

    I have three boys. Was extremely lucky with all three (apart from the heartburn), easy pregnancies and easy births.

    Your first is always so exciting, enjoy it, I loved been pregnant with my first

    Maybe I shouldn't either but as per my earlier post, all the people I work with are twice my age and at college I was always the youngest so I'm taking any opportunity available to claim I'm older than someone!:laugh:
