Hi, I'm Amanda, I'm 33 and I live with my farmer husband in the shade of the Grampians in Western Victoria, Australia. I was born in Forbes, spent my childhood in Glen Innes (both NSW) my adolescence in Mildura (Vic) then lived in Adelaide and Melbourne before landing here.
I have a beautiful little girl, and was sick for the entire pregnancy. I'm suspicious that a large dose of folate that I was strongly advised to continue taking throughout due to my Spina Bifida may have been a large player in my sickness level, but there's other things too that I'm experimenting with in my determinedly optimistic approach to my next pg.
I took maxolon for the whole pg, but it only worked after two trips to hospital, IVs including potassium, steroids, B6, and then the midwives told me to stay absolutely horizontal for a minimum of 10-15 minutes after taking it. I'm going to try the lying down game right from the start this time, to see if that was really what made the difference!
Looking forward to getting to know you all
Amanda
