LOL!!

Yup, I love it...we are definitely dicussing poo!! And I was actually excited to read that it's ok if Peyton isn't having as many poos. She's almost 4 weeks now and is only having about 2 poos a day compared to the 5 a day of before! lol

Moggy, I hope the kiddies feel better soon. *hugs* P is now getting over her cold but it was horrible to see her like that Poor little things huh?

Well not much else going on with us. Going to try and get in contact with the specialist now to see when we can see him and find out if he thinks P really does have a tongue tie or not.

Have a good day/weekend ladies!!

Ladies, I'm a bit worried as I keep bursting out crying. Is this normal?

Ladies, I'm a bit worried as I keep bursting out crying. Is this normal?

I would think so, F&C. It's your hormones. It will take a while for them get back to normal. Do you feel okay otherwise? Is your mood okay and you just start crying now and then or do you generally feel quite low all the time?

I hope so hun cos I do too! Not as much now as before though I was worse for being tired I think, could that be it?

If it's random and not all the time it is prob hormones still adjusting?

Hon you had a hell of a birth experience and Im sure are still recovering to some extent, if you add in the overwhelming feelings that come with a newbron and the additional emotional stresses of establishing BFing and getting used to being a family rather than a cople then I think bursting into tears is only natural! If you are constantly in tears and feeling generally low and lacklustre it is worth mentioning to MW or to HV/GP, they will be able to tell if it is PND or baby blues....what does your OH think?

Read your birth story and wanted to say I think you did amazing and your little man is very handsome - you should be very proud. Definitely worth an AD with flake sprinkles!

On the poo topic...Mogster said tonight he needed to do a plop poo...is there another kind?

 

[costgang]

hi everyone, congrats to all of us on babies, sky messed up my phone line,then when they had sorted it, tesco had cut my internet, but its back now how is everyone doing?

 

[costgang]

moggy, regard plop poo, when ben has a tummy upset, he has what he calls sick poo, the squits

 

[Jetters]

Where's Anns birth story, Moggy?... i cant find it *stupid moment*


BIG HUGS ANN :hug2:
I was very tearful for the first 3 weeks and still a bit of a blubberer now- my hormones and the tiredness were overwhelming. I also read that women who had sections often struggle with crazy hormones because your body is all like wtf, where's the baby gone! I think you should only start to worry if you're *generally* feeling low and unhappy all the time- if you can't really feel joy yet. And if that's the case, we are here for you and will help you get all the help and support that you need xxxxxxxxxxx

Ann,

I felt really...what's the word...psychotic almost for the first week and a half. One day I was soooo upset (don't even really know why) it took Nathan 2 hours to get me out of bed and into the shower (I hadn't showered in 2 days , totally not like me...especially not with the bleeding etc. :gag Thank goodness my parents were over that day...they took care of P while Nathan just talked and comforted me.

Even just this week I had a huge meltdown...I was sick, tired, P had just started a cold. I cried for almost an hour...snotted all over my pillow case...soooo sad. I kept thinking I can't do this...I can't be a mom. This is too hard. And then I snapped out of it again.

Try to get as much sleep/rest as you can. I know that's what everyone says...but seriously it works. As you ladies know..I didn't sleep much for the 2 days before P was here and the first 3 days of her life and even my midwife has since said I was a little psychotic during that time. Emotions EVERYWHERE.

Give yourself time Ann...H is only a day over a week. You'll see...every week will be better. But if in another couple of weeks you still feel the same...maybe you could talk to us...or someone you trust.

Moggy - Trying aptamil since yesterday.....was on SMA which was great with Jac. Like you said all babies are different...what works for one doesnt for another Also stopped the infacol as it didnt seem to work anymore or possibly made her worse.

Brig - Great news on the weith gain and doc referal hjun...glad Miss P is also better. Not much change here really...if no improvement by monday i'll be going back to docs. Luckily it doesnt bother her much though...only when she does cough now as her throat must be sore poor thing.

Lia - Have stopped the infacol.....never thought...it stopped working or maybe never did....or like you said made her worse. Today so far she seems to bring her wind up without it.. so thanks for the tip

Ann - Huge hugs hun I can still cry at a whim even now....hubby can tell me the slight thing im not happy about and i can cry instantly. Was the same with Jac....so could be some truth to the csection thing yas mentioned. If you're trully worried talk to your HV though

Yas - Hi hun...hows college?

Costgang - Welcome back

Pip- Ive never warmed bottles....i go room temp

Thanks ladies. It comes and goes but seems to be whenever any professional health worker asks how I'm doing or if I'm tired. I just miss time alone with my dh. Think I'll mention it to my mw/hv. Think I'm seeing them tomorrow. That's interesting about the c section.

It's good to know I'm not the only one like this and that it is normal. Hugs to you all, you have made me feel so much less alone in this. xxx

So funny you should say that. I can feel fine and as soon as someone asks how I am, there is always tears I have always been the same though, at uni whenever my bloody tutor asked how I was it set off a flood, it was ridiculous they did refer me to counselling for a while which was nice enough but I think I am just a leaky emotional person.

As moggy said - hv/mw will know the diff between baby blues / pnd

everyone

AFM still no poo on the Dylan front, we are officially on poo watch Also starting to figure him out a bit - he is napping now and I thought he would nap so must be getting used to this a little!

WB costgang - I don't know where I'd be without my internet!!!

 

[moggymay]

for wind have you tried the Boots own Gripe Misture? Apple flavoured and one month plus, we used it with Mogster and have used once for Jack so far, you can give any time so dont have to use with feeds....same as gripe water but they can have younger and it doesnt have to be replaced after a few weeks in the same way gripe water does...

Sarah, welcome back, hows Sophie settling in with the rest of your gang? Hows the new house?

Lia - we are back to poo talk again, guess poo is the new AD in here

everyone

 

[MrsMils]

Hi everyone! Haven't read through anything yet, but thank you all so much for your kind messages. I'm so thrilled to be home, we're settling in well, she gave us a good night last night, bit jaundiced so having to wake her at least every 3 hours to feed. Feeling the c-section a bit more today now I'm just on paracetamol, so DH doing a grand job of taking care of me and J. Will update/give more details when I have two hands. Hope everyone/all babies are well, loads of love to you all xxx

soph is settling in very well,but between her and josh i seem to be up every 2 hours in the night, not good with no sleep oh is back at work which sucks and just trying to get soph and josh into a routine, doesnt help that bigger 2 are back at school, josh has a seriously bad tummy, pooh is like water and keeps leaking out of nappies,nice. josh has muslin cloths and now so does soph,but j doesnt understand that some are sophs andd goes round the house stashing them, he has been carrying 4 round today, we got soph somw pink ones but he likes them too, oh and a biggy before i forget he took a couple of steps today

 

[penguin77]

Lydia- glad to hear youre being taken care of... Make sure hubby does most of the work for a few weeks

Moggy- gripe water worked for jac but cant use it till end of this week...will be buying some in prep lol. Had a hard evening with her last night...but we had the best night so far last night and shes been so much better this morning. Weve also been on poo watch for 48 hrs but finally got our reward this morning It seems that the aptamil may be doing the trick.... Only time will tell...

Lia- weve also been on poo watch... But we finally got there this morning....hope you get your reward soon....

Costgang- i have exactly the same issue with muslin squares lol Jac now has yellow ones whoch luckily he favours over Ana's white o es. But be still likes to take them when hes in the mood....oh and he can hide them too...still do t know his secret place lol

Ana still has her cough but i doesnt sound as harsh today... Lets hope shes on the mend.
