Anyone else out there having trouble finding discussion forums with active conversation? I certainly am!
Here are links to the most recently active that I can find:
I-am-pregnant forum (last active 32 days ago, as of this post.)
Babycenter forum (last active 8 days ago, as of this post. I reactivated it, and someone posted after me.)
What to Expect Forum (Best I can tell, this was last active in May of 2014)
Another What to Expect Forum (Last active in February of 2014)
ALL the other forums I can find are years old! There is a serious lack of conversation for currently suffering mommas.
Feel free to start chatting in the comment sections of any of my posts! I'll check on comments daily.
There is a consistent discussion on the fact that PUPPPs could be related to the liver (hence I am running out on my lunch break to get some dandilion tea, etc. today to start that treatment). But, I wanted to know if others were originally prescribed iron supplements. This is my second pregnancy. I didn't have PUPPPs during my first. The only difference is that about a month ago, I was instructed to begin iron supplements, since I was severely anemic. I stopped taking the supplements yesterday, and I am hoping this may clear up the symptoms. Are you taking any iron supplements?
ReplyDeleteThat's fascinating! You are the first I've heard of to bring up a possible connection with iron supplements. Perhaps, it's a factor for some women. I'm not currently on any iron supplements. But I do take liquid chlorophyll to prevent anemia, which works incredibly well for me. (I am usually very anemic in pregnancy as well.) I'll include your comment in a new post so that more people will see it and be able to offer their experiences. I'm sorry that you have PUPPPs! And on your second pregnancy too! I am constantly hearing stories of people that defy the "norms" of PUPPPs. Hope you find some relief with the dandelion root!
