Re: 2 questions for the pros, from the...

1. I had a vegetarian roommate in college who use to cook everything

in an iron pan so that she could get some iron. She did this on the

advice of her nutritionist.

2. *giggle* I wouldn't be a bit surprised to hear your pg with

twins. I had/have that uncomfortable shortness of breath which came

along with kind of a hot feeling. My blood sugars were fine, and when

I spoke with my OB about the feelings that would come and go (occur

less often now that I am so far along) he said it seemed to be a

common complaint with his multiple moms. And yes, it could be related

to the extra extra blood volume. Looking at the veins in my arms,

hands, and feet, I look like a muscle builder.

And yes, I am carrying twins. Keep us updated!
