The shopping thread

[JoBub]

What is / was / will be your first pregnancy-related purchase?

[JoBub]

I've started shopping already. Here's what my Amazon cart currently looks like:

These anti-nausea candies

These belly bands to hold me over until I get my black one back from SIL in January

This T-Shirt for my toddler to wear when my parents come to visit next month

[AmazingTulip]

I probably won't buy any real stuff for awhile. It may motivate me to finally buy DS a real bed.

I am going to an acupuncture appointment today - does that count?

No purchases besides colace because I will not deal with pregnancy constipation again. tmi. I started an Amazon registry because there's nothing else to do at this point. We don't really need much though since this is #2 so that didn't take very long. We are anti-stuff people so we are hoping to keep the new baby stuff to a minimum.

I bought some jolly ranchers and ginger ale. These were what helped with my nausea last time. We'll see if they help this time around.

I'm going to get some gingerale later today! I'm waiting on anything maternity related until I get the results from my bloodwork

I have bought nothing but thinking about ordering more prenatal vitamins since I'm not a fan of mine. Suggestions?

I feel like they're kinda all the same. The only complaint I've ever heard is people who have digestive trouble with too much iron. I think the gummies have less iron if that's a problem for you. But if not, just pick one.

The gummies don't have any iron because of safety issues with them looking like candy.

This is what I take because I don't want to deal with constipation. I'll continue these unless I have any question about my iron intake. The only thing my doc said last time was to take something with DHA. I ended up taking an additional DHA supplement because my cheep target PNVs that I used for DS didn't have that.

I use the Trader Joe's brand prenatals and so far so good! They are on the bigger side, so when my gag reflexes are up, I have a difficult time swallowing.
