End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

[Zfbaby]

Always worth checking babyface. I wish I'd done it sooner. It's been a week since it was cut and he still shows all of the symptoms as before. He's had bad habits for a long time so I'm hoping its just that he needs more time to learn to use his tongue. it was definetly a moment of clarity when we found that site.

 

[babyface15]

thanks zfbaby, I will look into it!
can't wait to go swimming with her, I think she'll love it.

I had my 6 week check earlier this week and my Dr didn't even look at the baby. I feel a bit cheated. is it weird to make an appt to just get the baby looked at? I would have liked her to be measured and checked out from head to toe

 

[pebbie1]

Babyface that's a bit strange as over here the 6 week check should be mummy and baby. My gp did it the other way around and she didn't check anything regarding me, but she did check Markus. She checked the spine and the head and lay him down on his tummy to see if he could lift his head etc.
Next week the health visitor is coming round who'll check me and him again.

 

[OmiOmen]

I think it would be okay to make an appointment to check her over although I am not sure how it works over there.

Where I live the HV checks baby development at 6 weeks and then (if I recall correctly) the GP checks mum and baby at 8 weeks. My GP sees you at 3 weeks for the contraception talk so then they see you at 8 weeks rather than 6. The HV just checked his measurements and talked through the development questionnaire yesterday.

 

[babyface15]

What? that's way better! I know nothing about what is normal development right now!
she never talked about contraception either! I was with a different doctor for my prenatal care, which isn't the norm. I went with a group that teaches out of the hospital. I think I'll make an appt with my regular family doctor next week. I'd really like Calla to be checked. All that happened at my appt was she asked if I had any ppd and checked my blood pressure. I was definitely expecting more

 

[OmiOmen]

Normally in the UK the contraception chat is at 6 weeks but mine does it earlier and then makes the check up a bit later because apparently a lot of women were getting pregnant by the 6 week appointment and complaining that the GP hadn't warned them it could happen. It was a bit of a waste of time for me really since I wasn't rushing into DTD again and I know what the fatality rate after complete uterine rupture is if you get pregnant again and that is one affective contraception!

Are you in Canada or America? the development questionnaire they use in the UK is from America so I presumed it was normal there to do them.

CJ was a bit behind on the development questionnaire but at 6 weeks I'm not too worried about it. It was only a few days ago he started spending time awake when he wasn't eating anyway.

 

[babyface15]

omg didn't know it could happen! all the same if I want so dead set against getting pregnant any time soon I might assume it was very unlikely to happen.

yes no dtd for you hun that is a good contraception for sure

I'm in Canada I'm going to look up the questionnaire online

 

[OmiOmen]

Are you BF'ing? It is really unlikely to happen soon after if BF'ing. There are low rates of BF'ing where I live though and it would seem there was a major problem at my GP's office with so many women getting pregnant who didn't want to be.

 

[CLH_X3]

Iv got a prescription for the pill, need to put it in really and start taking it!

 

[pebbie1]

I've got my appointment with the gyneacologist on the 8th of August to set a date for my sterilisation

 

[babyface15]

I am exclusively bfing but still I don't want any surprises heh!!
clh get on that or you might get a, little surprise for yourself lol

pebbie when you say sterilization what do you mean? tubes tied?

how's everyone enjoying the weekend? mil is coming over today to watch the baby while my husband drags me out to see a movie. why is it every time I get to take a break from baby I feel uneasy about it and would rather just be home with her lol.

 

[pebbie1]

Babyface, yes I'm having my tubes tied or cut or whatever they do. No more babies for me. I'm very happy with my 2 gorgeous monkeys and I'm scared I won't survive another pregnancy.

My dad was over from holland all weekend. I hadn't seen him since February so it was amazing to spend time with him and for him to meet Markus. Funny thing is we are going to holland on Thursday for 10 days so I see him then again plus the rest of my family. Can't wait to see my sister as I haven't seen her since February either and I miss her loads!!!

 

[Zfbaby]

Had a lovely day today. Although feeding is still a nightmare and Louis gets so upset with wind pain and frustration, outside of meal times hes becoming very happy and settled. Dh snapped this on their trip to the supermarket. We shared some great play time this afternoon then we gave him a bath and he went to sleep at 8:30 which is a record for us I think.
Last night he was down for 9pm, woke at 3am for a feed and then went back down until 7:30. I even managed to get him to take a 1hr nap in his basket which he wont normally do. Pretty good day indeed.

 

[pebbie1]

Awwwwww zfbaby, he's so CUTE! I love the smile. He looks very happy I'm so glad to hear you've had a good day. You'll have more and more of those to come xxx

Iv already made up my mind, I defo want 1 more, not yet! Il think about it in 3 years time so that if I did get pregnant then it would go along side Aston going to school at 4
My friend told me she is 5 weeks pregnant the other day n I'm abit jelous!!
My oh says he doesn't want anymore tho, so il just have to persuade him, not even guna talk about it til close to when I want one tho...
I think the reason I want 1 more aswel is because I'm the first out of all my real friends to have kids, and tech be finished having kids ... Don't think il like it when there all getting pregnant and I'm 'done'

 

[babyface15]

pebbie so great you had a good weekend with your dad. it must be hard living away from family

zfbaby what wonderful news you had such a, good day. he looks so happy and bright

you make a good point there clh. not many of my friends have Los yet either, I can see feeling a little jealous if you were done and they were all beginning

I don't know what's gotten into little miss but she's been up since 3:30-5:30. finally asleep in my arms here :S

how much does everyones baby nap in the day? calla usually only takes a few 20 min cat naps. It really doesn't seem like enough for a baby?

 

[babyface15]

I've been reading into it (BC she wouldn't go back to sleep) & I think my little girl is chronically overtired. I feel so bad because I haven't been noticing her sleep cues and haven't been putting her down for naps or to bed early enough. She's gone weeks without the proper amount of sleep

 

[Zfbaby]

Louis is the same only a rate few short naps in the day. He will sleep a bit longer if I let him sleep on me but I need to be able to eat and shower etc. I can be quite hard.

 

[OmiOmen]

I don't really have much choice in not having any-more. The risk that rupture would happen before 36 weeks is way too high to consider it.

I'm glad things are improving zfbaby and he is looking so cute and happy.

CJ was sleeping almost all the time and mostly just waking to get nappy changes and feed, it is only the past few days he has had longer gaps between his sleep.

 

[CLH_X3]

Aston sleeps about 6 hours during the day on and off
