I've PMed you Jess xx

AF has started girls! I can't believe I've had 3 now WHILE breastfeeding!! I never used to have any!!

Suz- are you going to tandem breast feed if you can?

Hi Casey and Chell and V

We desperately need to get Ben's new car seat. Any UKers know where's the best place to get an ERF seat? Did you say you had links Suz? Have you bought one? X

Jess - the sanctuary sounds lovely! Sounds like you had a really stressful journey but it's great you found that the gentle birth helped. I am going to read the book and if i like it I'll try and set up an appointment. I heard of hypo birth, i am very easily hypnotised to I guess that could work for me!
I do want as natural a birth as I can, but it there was any risk or danger and I needed an epidural for forceps or anything like that I would not want to be short of cash! lol It's all about having enough margin on my credit card really
I am so glad to be speaking with you girls, I can tell already that I am going to have a million questions but you always seem to have the answers
Thank you girls!!

Yeah, Jess...knowing would be nice, huh? Then you can just accept whatever is happening and plan for moving on.... Sorry it's so rough right now.

V-126 is skinny! About the epidural...I have done both...with and without. Now that I have gone without I would DEF recommend it. Actually, I would encourage you to NOT get an epidural. Your body recovers sooooo much quicker without an epidural. And birth is amazing. You have this incredible sense of pride after doing it natural. My birth was amazing! If you want to keep options open for pain management, consider a perineal numbing shot...it's like novacaine for your sensitive spots that might tear during the last push. I did that bc my doctor thought for sure his head was gigantic (he was stuck for about 10 hours in the birth canal)....but I didn't even tear....

Hi Lou! you stinker. Can you send af over here??!!! Ugh. I am NOT breastfeeding and it has been almost 5 months without af. booooooo!

 

[babyloulou]

I don't understand it Chell! I had about 4 natural AF's in TEN years!! Now I've had 3 even though I'm BF! It's crazy! I guess it's true what they say that pregnancy can help PCOS

 

[Onelildream]

Ok, then you can have her! That's sooooo exciting! Does it make you want to get preg quickly just incase she hides again?

 

[babyloulou]

It's briefly entered my head Chel but to be honest I really don't want another one yet. I'd like a bigger gap and also with Ben's sleep as it is I think it'd be physically impossible! He's still up every hour every night so a newborn as well would be hell!!

 

[SBB]

Jess I'm glad you've come to a decision about the councelling, hopefully now you can both work out what to do. Kick him in the bollocks though for being a twat so far!!!

Lou we are going to Milton Keynes in car safety centre, I think they only have 2 branches and the other might be in wales! Not sure if there is something similar near you... We are going Saturday to get ours.
Can't believe AF got you!! I thought we were going to be bump buddies

V I won't lie I was in absolute agony with my labour, but I'm still glad I didn't get an epi! I don't know why I just never wanted one at all...

Casey jimmy will be happy on his own! The only thing you need to chill about later is mess he'll love messy play! And it's fun! You can do it outside then hose everything/everyone down

Chell sorry no AF

If I get cycle back at 10 months next time, I won't have had a period for 38months - 3 years and 2 months

Do you know of any good sites for the seats Suz? X

 

[babyloulou]

P.S: sorry I let you down on the bump buddy front but that is one club I did NOT want to join!! Hey at least you get my Doppler now I'm not up the duff!! 

 

[SBB]

Yeh good point 

Take your go on hanging!

[SBB]

Do you know of any good sites for the seats Suz? X

NO lou, I found the whole thing overwhelming so I just wanted to go to this place and look at some...

There's a big erf thread in natural parenting...

X x x

 

[Onelildream]

whats erf?

Lou I thought about having a newborn and ben's sleeping....it would prob kill you!

I think hubs is buying that main st house. I cant be sure...but something is suspicious...

 

[kcw81]

Really chell??? Cool! Cool right?

Suz woah that's a lot of money saved on tampons!

 

[babyloulou]

What without telling you Chell???? 

ERF is "extended rear facing"- they are car seats that face backwards for longer- supposed to be safer xx

 

[SBB]

I think err is standard in US? Isn't FF illegal until a certain age?

Yeh casey I'm rich from tampon money

Chell does he normally buy houses without you knowing?!?!

X x x

 

[Peach Blossom]

V, I pumped exclusively cos Lil wouldn't breast feed. It was hard work and your life is controlled by when you have to pump...

 

[Onelildream]

Really, I'm not quite sure if he has/is...but I certainly would NOT be upset! I love that house, he knows it...and the main st thing doesn't bother me with such a large fenced in back yard...My kids are smart. And the driveway is big enough that others can park on it and not be on the street. I am not quite sure, but he's got this cheesy "I'm hiding something" grin and said when he left, "I am not buying you a house for Christmas, that's just too big to do without you" but said it funny, and with that silly cheesy grin. Maybe he is serious, but it feels like something is up... I asked what he wanted for Christmas, and he said "just to make you happy" and pulled me in for a hug and grinned like a school boy...just very strange behavior....

Maybe he bought a different one? I wouldn't be upset. I think I am just ready for a house.

Oh and yes, rear facing is law until 1 but might be changing to 2...I heard that somewhere....time to google....

 

[SBB]

Jess you won't need a new car seat for lili til she's about 2!!!

[SBB]
