BabyBjörn We Baby Carrier "dots" Limited edition by Karin

8:28 PM My Bun In The Oven 0 Comments

I've acquired the BabyBjörn We Baby Carrier "dots" Limited edition  a month ago. I was attracted by the"chic" design which the We "dots" limited edition had. I like to look good with my baby and this really did the job. Upon opening the box I was a little confused at first as how it worked but thanks to the instructions it didn't take me longer than 5 minutes to understand it.  It looks really secure for a newborn, with different  front "positions" available for newborn. I was so impatient to try it out that I tried the We carrier with my friends newborn! The security (belts/ sturdy) is amazing and I felt reassured that the baby was fully supported. As well as the security I loved the quality of the product, you can really feel that it is a good quality product and it also very easy to wash without damaging the carrier. The only point in which I was disappointed was the fact that there is not a "front " position so that when my little boy is older he won't be able to face and see the world rather than my chest however, the back position is a good alternative. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the We baby carrier and definitely recommend it!

Review; Folic acid 400 µg (Boots) and Seven Seas Trying For A Baby Vitamins.

5:45 PM My Bun In The Oven 0 Comments

I will start to review with the first vitamins after my hubby and I decided to try for a baby, I looked in the aisle of boots for ages before deciding on the Seven Seas Trying For A Baby Vitamins which looked the most attractive , price and quality. The price being only £4.49, with a very explicit name and attractive package, off I went to the till.
Seven Seas Trying For A Baby Vitamins contains not only Folic acid (400 µg) but iron and vitamin D. As you all know Folic Acid is recommended to be taken months before you even try to conceive. Folic Acid reduced the risk of neural-tube defect such as spina bifida. During pregnancy it is recommended to take 600 to 800 mcg rather than the pre-conception 400mcg.
Seven Seas Trying For A Baby Vitamins is similar to taking the pill, it comes in a monthly packet, with the days, and you take one a day.
Even if this product sound great it did not work out for me, not even a week in I started feeling very ill. I had nausea and diarrhea. So off I went to the  nurse to see what could be done because I was desperate to keep taking the Folic Acid.
The nurse simply told me, to stick with simple folic acid tablets witch leads me to my next review.

Early Pregnancy Symptom , Before AF.

5:01 PM My Bun In The Oven 0 Comments

If you are similar to me, every month it is the same ritual of questions, am I pregnant ? can I have symptoms before my missed period?
Well, yes but they are so similar to PMS symptoms it is hard to be sure. However, some signs are really positive towards that famous BFP.
The number one symptom for me was sore breast, they hurt so much that just having a shower and having water touch them was unbearable. Of course, you could tell me that it is also a very important sign of PMS, but for me who never get sore breast before af it was an indicator that something was different.
The famous cramps ! which makes cry as it is a well-known symptom that the witch is coming, but rejoice my friends because it also an early symptom of pregnancy,  which can happen as early as 4 dpo due to implantation and when your periods would be due because your body is working very hard to make your uterus nice and welcoming for your little bundle of joy.
Fatigue - If you can't stay awake in your afternoon meeting, be ready for a surprise!
Nausea, I personally did not have nausea until I was 7 weeks which led to a major food aversion, in that I mean I could not eat anything. On one occasion I cried because I wanted to a normal meal rather than just toast, it was not just the fact that I felt like throwing up every second ( morning sickness needs to have a more accurate name!) but everything I used to love tasted like dust!


However remember that everyone is different and what I experienced and what you experienced/ will experience can be different.
