The biggest plague/ trauma of my pregnancy has been the nosebleeds. They have interrupted many a night's sleep and yesterday I had one that lasted 1 1/2 hours! I had to walk to a meeting at the other end of Westminster in the rain and contending with my nose bleed. Not much fun! I was feeling pretty sorry for myself by the time I got there! It was a good meeting though and it passed before I had to venture outside again so that was a blessing.
Went for a swim last night. It was good. Except far too busy. And in lanes some people are so selfish! They want to go at their pace no matter what hte cost for everyone else. The problem last night was that half the people were like that! So there were collisions all over the place. Not much fun. I will go earlier next time.
I have been having issues with the iron levels in my blood. Apparently they were v v high before I was pregnant and now 'baby is taking without asking' so i am losing some. I guess being a veggie doesnt really help matters despite my best efforts with spinach etc. I am now taking the iron tablets that my midwife wanted me to have. My doctor thinks my level is perfectly fine and I dont need it but it is below the 'normal' range and 20% lower than the start of my pregnancy and on a downward trend (and I have been feeling v v dizzy and looking v pale) so I am going to take them anyway. So there.
