hey jade, I have been referred to preconception clinic by docs but havent had an appointment yet even though its inly been a week(eager),how long did it take for you!! xx
 
Hi Kirst my appt was 4 weeks after my referral! I know the feeling it's so annoying having to wait! Had it today my hbca1 is down from 8 - 7.4 so well chuffed!
The doc has put me on Folic acid and advised I start taking vitamin D. Got to have another blood test in 3 months as she would like my hbca1 to be 6.5 or lower before I start trying!
Doc looked at my readings and was very happy said I didn't need to test as much as I am (currently 8 times a day!) she said before every meal and before bed - but I guess that will be different for everyone!
Feels good to finally have got the ball rolling! xxx

I was also just prescribed with folic acid , I was told I would start on another vitiam once I was pregnant . Can't remember what it was now as they said more would be explained once I'm there . But strange isn't it how were all trying for the same thing yet get told to do differnt things lol .

:)
 
She didn't say why - it wasn't prescribed just advised I start taking it - says on bottle it helps maintain normal bones teeth and immune system!?
I know what you mean chlo - she even admitted her and the diabetic mid wife had slightly different views on correcting highs - she said neither way was wrong but she would prefer me to take her advice lol! xxx

Hi ladies, re vitamin D... All pregnant women should take it and there's a big drive for it at the moment as they've found that most ppl in UK are deficient in it and there are cases of neonatal rickets. There isn't any indication to take it pre-pregnancy that I can think of so maybe they only meant to start taking it as soon as your pregnant? I started taking it once I was pregnant as a pregnancy vitamin. Folic acid is big one to have pre-pregnancy.
I find it funny but I was never able to remember to take a daily pill before but folic acid I never forgot! Must be the big incentive. I'm meant to stop taking it now as have gotten to 12 weeks but it just feels a bit wrong to do that! ;)

Anyway, hope that's helpful.

Thanks for that info Jess! Makes sense now explained lol your right about remembering to take the folic acid all the years I've been on the pill I've been terrible at remembering properly but I've been fab at remembering this so far! Even my husband has been saying don't forget your acid tablet thingy haha xx
