Off to the hospital, its D day.....but where is my bag?

Usually at around 30 weeks of pregnancy the experts say that you should have your bags packed and ready for hospital. Who knows when your little baby will decide to make their entrance into the world. 

Popeye Gained Iron Strength from Spinach But Not Everybody Wants to Eat Spinach!

Have you ever been told your iron levels are a bit low? That you are anaemic? Or maybe you just feel a bit sleepy, sluggish or slow. You may also have headaches or may 'feel the cold' more and be prone to illness.

Gestational Diabetes

This week I had the Gestational Diabetes Glucose test (GTT), which lasts for 2 hours. If you have been pregnant before you know what I am talking about but if you have never had a baby this is the test taken between the 26 & 28 week stage of your pregnancy. You have to fast from midnight and hopefully you will book your appointment for first thing in the morning, or you will be starving. When you first arrive you will have blood taken and then have to drink a very sweet tasting glucose drink. After one hour you will have blood taken, and then after another hour the final bloods done.
