I am still having food aversions, and I can't take my prenatal vitamins because they make me throw up. I jokingly asked my doctor, can't I just take Flintstones? and she surprised me by saying, well, yes, just take two, but you need to take a DHA supplement also.
So last night I stopped at CVS, which is having a BOGO sale on their store brand vitamins, and found some "gummy" vitamins and DHA supplements for kids...and they are also vegetarian! So I'm happy with that.
I go next week for the First Screen, where they measure the nucal fold (baby's neck) and take a finger stick of blood to check some other things. It's checking for Trisomy (Chromosomes that are tripled instead of in a pair) and Monosomies (chromosomes that are alone instead of in a pair) that aren't compatible with life outside the womb (or inside it for very long) or that may just require more care at birth. These babies frequently have severe cardiology issues.
I just want to make sure the baby's still there.
