Hey
i just wondering how many of you seen your
doctor prior to 8wks of your pregnancy
because I just called to ask to make
appointment because I got a postive result
to pregnancy test and missed my period 4
days ago .. Still none.. However they
said we dont see any of ladies til 8wks
pregnancy.. And im like what about those
who need to take folic acids anyway before
8wks .. And im only 5wks pregnant..
Thats insane, do you think?

Thats what I was always told. They cnt
pick up the heartbeat til 8 weeksish ne
ways. Go to the store and buy a bottle of
folic acid if you are worried about it.
Thats what I take with a flinstone cuz I
hatethe smell of prenatals

My doctor doesn't see patients until
they're 8-10 weeks. I think it's lame but
I guess there's really not much point in
going in before then anyway. So my first
appointment isn't until i'm 9 weeks. If
you have any questions or concerns before
then you can call them. Someone from my
doctor's office just called me to ease my
mind a bit (i had a miscarriage in
october) and she said I could call her
with any questions leading up to my
appointment. As for folic acid, I take a
prenatal vitamin that I bought at the
pharmacy. I don't really like it because
it's huuuuuuuuge and leaves a bad taste in
my mouth (and turns my pee green!) but I
suck it up and take it every day. I think
i'm going to ask for a prescription at my
appointment because i'm hoping the pills
will be smaller and easier to swallow.
Good luck with everything!

I take .Prima.Care.O.N.E (periods just
there for the caps... Stupid site). It's
a purple gel capsule, and I have no
problems with it at all. Doesn't smell or
taste bad. A friend of mine said she
thinks she took the same kind when she was
preggo and it turned her pee green, but it
hasn't done that to me.

you take flinstone vitamins? My husbands
mom bought me some because I won't take
the pre-natals. I hate taking pills and I
always feel like i'm going to choke on
them.

Screw that, the drs here will see u soon
as u have a + on a hpt ok they cant pick
up a heartbeat but they provide
information on how to start a pregnancy
being healthy etc telling you what you
need or if ur taking meds everything is
brought up as well they will usually do a
pap if u havent had one to make sure u
pregnancy will run smootly and that the
cells are normal!!!
Flinstones rock you can even buy generic
brand that has the same amount of
nutrients I get mine from cosco I pay 10$
for 362 vitamins a year supply and me, my
daughter and hubby all take them we take 2
but even then its a incredibly
bargain..............Prenatals suck and I
have choked on them I had to force myself
to puke to get it out I choked twice but
once really bad where I was having a hard
time breathing cause the so f**king
big(horse pills) I tried cutting them and
adding them to my juice(and thats bloody
disgusting talk about puke factor)
good luck!

This isn't quite on topic but it brought
back a memory...
I remember when I was really little, I
climbed up on the kitchen counter and I
was eating the flintstones vitamins like
they were candy. Man, they were so
delicious. Then my mom came in and yelled
at me, but by then i'd eaten most of the
bottle. I actually haven't had them since
I was about 6. I kind of want to try them
now...
