That's great! I had an assigned midwife but I think there are problems here with shortages, I only saw her twice, I think I had 4 or 5 different ones through preg, and then 2 different ones in my labour. Sorry so that's why I was being cynical of the NHS lol

Haha I don't blame you! I've heard some shocking stories about nhs midwifes and maternity units. I was really tense when I went to see her but after 5 minutes u was completely at ease, I feel really lucky to have her, fx nothing comes up that changes her route or schedule, so I get to see her the whole way through.

I don't even rem seeing a midwife! I had the consultant through both pregs!
Conor had an awful nite last nite, I had to stay with him till he fell asleep! Same with the nap today .. He was histerical!
He woke at 230 and couldn't get him back to sleep so I gave in at 4 30 and took him to my bed!
The good thing is he went down at 1230 today after 45 minutes if crying and is still asleep!! so far... 1 1/2 hours so I'm going to stick to it and hopefully leave the room before he sleeps!! God it's so hard!

Hi ladies all good here. Hubby and I are getting on. He's really trying hard which is good and making lots of effort. We've had lots of family time which I love and time togther. I've been ok with the trust thing as he's being really open. I might be able to forgive but I'll never forget. Though, he swears there was nothing sexual in it. I guess I'll never really know?
TMI coming, but it has felt a bit weird being intimate together, we hadn't done anything for such a long time before because things were so rocky but its improving now. But, the ladies who had natural births, do you feel the same "down there" when you dtd as you did before. I know its to be expected but I dont feel quite as much as before. I didnt take much notice before when we were dtd after having LO, but i'm not feeling quite so much. Do you all still do your pelvic floor exercises? Do you think they help? Any other tips? I feel like I should have asked for stitches!!! Sorry ha ha, but you have to laugh at theses things. Sorry
Congratulations Hispirits I felt movement at about 15-16 weeks, it felt like muscle spasms and I showed at about 18 weeks probably?
Trixie and Dreamer, I know its really hard and Ive been lucky with Darcey but I always put her down awake. Always have from about 2-3 weeks old. Shes now on 3 meals a day and has 3-4 bottles a day. Her last bottle is at about 6ish and goes down to sleep at 6.30-7pm and will sleep till about 7.30-8.00am. She has a long nap anything between 1pm and 3pm for about 1hr-2.5hrs. The other naps are a bit hit and miss.
I hope you both get to get some more sleep soon, its so hard without sleep.
Stranje, sorry to hear you're feeling down. I hope hubby remembers and does something nice for you when he gets back?
Hope all you other ladies and LO's are doing well. Hope the monitors are helping with those TTC

Hey Claire glad to hear things are going well. Well I had stitches and I still find dtd tender which is rubbish. OH says I feel looser but to me it feels tighter as its more sore, more friction it feels like. If I'm honest it doesn't feel as good for me but hoping that changes with more time and maybe when I stop bfing.
That's so great about darcey going down awake, she's doing so well! I so wish I'd started from early on but just seemed easier at the time to nurse as it worked lol.
Hispirits, it was about 17 weeks I felt the kicks/movement. I never felt butterflies, just went straight to actual tiny kicks. And I felt hiccups for the first time at 25-26 weeks. Aww loved that so much
Is anyone else getting excited about Xmas? I am lol. I've bought a few pressies for Erin and I keep checking out the Santas grotto on here. I love Xmas and can't wait to start our family traditions.
How are some of the ladies we haven't heard from for a little while?

WHAT'S SANTAS GROTTO?? Lilrojo! It's one of the forums under general chatter (I think). For all things christmassy, Im also a little obsessed with it trix haha, helping me get right into the spirit!
How exciting that youll be TTC again lilrojo.

Ooh, how exciting Lilrojo
Thanks Dreamer, I guess its to be expected
Maybe overtime it will improve?
Regarding the putting to sleep awake, I think when they're younger you do what is easiest for you and if nursing gets them to sleep, you do it because you're so tired from lack of sleep.
If darcey didnt go down so well, I would have resorted to anything. I was just lucky she went down ok.
I am soooo excited about xmas. I was dreading it when OH and I were seperated because I love xmas so much, but now i can look forward to it again. I COMPLETELY forgot about the grotto, I looked last year and loved it. Im going to have to have a nose again to get into the spirit and get some ideas

Yey for christmas! Lilrojo and Claire get on the grotto case asap hehe. I love it sooo much too. We're having a second Christmas day in Australia on New years day with my family, so it'll be lovely for the festivities to continue!
And Claire you're def right, you do resort to whatever works, but as Im finding now you just delay the issue lol.

Hey hayley, I see you're new to bnb, just to let you know this is a thread for a group of us who have followed our journey together in using the clearblue fertility monitor. You'd definitely be best off posting in the TTC forums where there will be lots of ladies who can help you or are in the same boat. Best of luck in getting your bfp

Hey everyone! Hope you all are well!!
Yesterday, Jack had his 9 month check-up. Everything went great!! He weighs 23 lbs (in the 85th percentile), and is 26.5 inches long (which is only the 10th percentile). Hopefully his height will catch up to his weight at some point! But the doctor didn't seem concerned. He also checked his blood count and iron and said that we could start weaning him onto whole cow's milk. I was always under the impression that they are supposed to be on formula/breastmilk for the first year? But he said to start with 2-3 oz/day for a week, and if he tolerates it, we can make the switch completely. I'm kind of torn about starting so soon. I think I will definitely keep his 8 oz bottle of formula before bed for sure.
As far as everything else, Jack is now into EVERYTHING!! He's crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything he can! Especially the things he doesn't need to! Haha! He's even started cruising along the couch a bit. Wow, they grow so fast!! Oh yeah, he also had his first fall off my bed last week. He fell right onto the back of his head and neck! I turned my back for one second!! Luckily, he was fine. Scared us both to death I think!!
So, I know I'm late, but here are a few pics of my "Jack"-in-the-Box for Halloween and then one from the Mississippi State football game we took him to last Saturday!
I hope everyone is well!!

Sooooo cute ladyl! What a fab idea lol. Glad to hear he got on great in his 9m check.
Erin had her 8-12 month development review today too, she was 20lb1oz and the health visitor was pleased with everything. I spoke to her about the night wakings/feedings and how slow weaning is going and she said she thinks if we can crack the night feedings, that the weaning will come, because shes getting loads of calories at night, she doesn't need to eat so by stopping them will increase her daytime appetite. She's suggested getting my oh to settle her instead and offer water in a sippy cup. This way she won't smell my milk. We'll give this a go next week, but I'm not convinced, although the past few nights I've been able to rock/sing her to sleep rather than feed a few times. Will def check out the clever mama pillow trix. My hv said she couldn't do controlled crying with her kids, but said that the tougher you can be, the quicker it will be sorted, jut depends how you can cope. I don't think I could do pure CIO though, I'd hate for her to feel abandoned just crying when we've always come bwfore
Yes trix its me going to oz! Me and Erin fly out on the 29th Dec, but will have a second Xmas day on New years day. So excited to see my mum, dad, brother and sister. Where did you live?

Hi Hayley.. there is a possibility you could be.. but some women have irregular cycles after coming off bcps.. and most are advised to wait 3 cycles to start to ttc.. so they have time to have regular cycles, time for the bcps to be out the the system, and time to be on prenatals.. hope you get some answers soon
