Babies, en masse, yesteryear
As we hurtle towards the end of the second trimester things seem to be going well (she says touching wood, holding a lucky rabbit’s foot and looking round wildly for a leprechaun).
Insulin requirements are creeping up pretty continuously now and I’m adjusting basals and carb ratios a couple of times a week to keep up. Something interesting is happening in the early hours of the morning – for the last 6 years one ;
Ever tried the Aniseed flavoured Gaviscon? ‘Well, some people can take the Peppermint flavoured one without gagging. We have to try harder. How about Aniseed?’ I find the Cool mint one the best of a bad lot.
Toast, fruit and cereal diet. I’d go for that (and I’m not pregnant). As long as I can have peanut butter on my toast.
@annette Sadly I’ve never had the pleasure. And a large part of me hopes I never will!
I don’t mind Gaviscon – I swig it out of the bottle rather than measuring it out! I find it’s more palatable if it’s cold, rather than room-temperature. .
Are there people who actually bother to dirty a spoon rather than swig? No doubt they’ll all come out now to be appalled at our lack of hygiene and etiquette 😉 It’s the consistency that makes me hate it, although I’ll agree cold phlegm is marginally more palatable than room temp phlegm.
I find that Gaviscon is so unpleasant to swallow that I just can’t tolerate it. When I had the pregnancy heartburn thing I was prescribed Magnesium Tricylicate. Its a white liquid which you swallow with water (dollop in glass, add water, wiggle about, swallow). Tastes much better and is not phlegmy at all. And can be bougth over the counter at chemists.
Mmmmmmmmm…. warm minty phlegm…
