Since being part of this community, I find it amazing what each of us will put ourselves through in order to be parents someday. We will overcome our fears and deal with the unknown’s. We all know it will be worth it in the end.
When I went to my consult with the fertility specialist a few weeks ago, the nurse mentioned that since I’ve had two miscarriages I should be getting 2000 mg (?) of folic acid. My prenatal was giving me 800mg so I went out and bought some where each pill gives you 600mg. So now each morning I’m taking one prenatal along with two folic acid pills. I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal.
Well the additional folic acid pills are making me burp up the taste of fish. And I HATE fish. I eat tuna and that is about it. I hate the smell of fish. So every morning now I get to burp up fish. I hate it but you know what, it’s worth it. If it means having a healthy baby in the near future, I would do anything. It’s just another reminder of what I push myself to overcome in order to be a mother. I hate fish, but being a mother is that important to me. My future baby is worth this and then some.

Yuck! I've got the same problem! If it gives me a healthy happy baby, then I'll do it. I still think it's gross! =)
ReplyDeleteI have MTHFR which is a deficiency in Folic Acid/B6&B12 and therefore have to take 5mg a daily (recommended daily is usually 400mcg). The pills I take do not taste like fish so I thought maybe I would give you the site I got it from and you won't have to burp up something that makes you sick. http://www.vitacost.com/productResults.aspx?ss=1&Ntk=products&Ntt=folic%20acid
