Thanks for answering my question. Now, another question. Did you get these online or do more natural food stores carry this brand?

I got them at my local health food store. They were recommended to me by their supplements specialist.

Amarasmom, what is the iron count on them?

This is our third. We've had two pretty great mw-attended homebirths so along those lines, I 'm hoping for the same.

What I will do differently:
--Not eat out so much and *hopefully* not gain as much weight as before
--Workout a few times a week (I hardly exercised with the other two pregnancies, but I've been going to the gym for a year now)
--Get past the morning sickness without feeling guilty that I've done zero housework and my kids have watched too much tv

9 mg per two, suggested use is 4-6 per day

I think we are in the same town, I got them at LifeSource

so you have to take them 4-6x a day??? I have real trouble with pills, wow, there is no way I could do that!

things to do differently:

- walk more throughout the pregnancy, not just at the end when the baby is late
- cut back on the juice and salt, I was so swollen last time
- hire a doula to help me labor at home longer
