Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[ttc_lolly]

Wow Kellie, are you DTD already!? I salute you f*ck that, he can wait a good few weeks before he gets near me hahaha!! I will be getting the coil fitted again I think. Definitely no more for me - OH doesn't want anymore kids, and I do but not for a long while yet but the coil lasts 10 years so I'll have a bit of time to persuade him if neccesary not sure about the lump hun, is it painful?

That's fab news about Poppy's weight gain Ally bless her, she's so little still!

Lol I don't think I have a hope in hell of Neil wanting to come anywhere near me at the moment with stitches and catheter in situ! Not too sure what to do contraception wise though, I never used any before (besides condoms) well not since the implant that I ha removed a few years back, had an allergic reaction to it. Got the health visitor here tommorrow who will likely want to speak to me about it. I think Logan is my only baby, after the birth and all the complications afterwards, sod doing that again lol. I don't think Neil would want more either, he was pretty effected by what he saw happen, think he would be petrified of it all happening again.

Kellie, are you due to see your midwife at all soon? Would point it out to her if so or failing that pop to the drs. It's not something I've heard of tbh, but don't worry, I'm sure it's nothing serious probably a blood blister or a little cyst or something. No doubt easy to get rid of

 

[kellie_w]

I don't think I can trust myself on the pill ally, I'm too forgetful! In the past, getting pregnant would be fine, now it's a definite no no no, this baby making factory is now closed forever! I'm too old for these sleepless nights! What happened with was it your sister in law with the missing coil? Did she need surgery?

Lauryn, did you have the mirena coil? I didn't realise it lasts 10 years, I may go for that I think. Better than going for injections every 3 months. We dtd 9 days after birth, its so nice to be back to normal! The lump doesn't hurt, I think I'll get it checked at my 6 week checkup (or is it 8 weeks?!)

 

[Sarahcake]

9 days after birth! I'm actually impressed, and slightly jealous lol Neil didn't want to know whilst I was pregnant, have only dtd once since conception as he found it wierd so I'm feeling a little deprived haha!

I'm stuck with contraception really :S I'm sooooo so damn forgetful with taking meds it's not even funny, if I forgot the pill and got pregnant, I think I would cry right now lol I'm done with babies unless I can be garenteed a c section with a spinal block that bloody works lol I can't have the coil as I tried to have one fitted before my implant and they just couldn't fit it for some reason and it hurt like feck, and in allergic to the implant lol

There's always one awkward one eh, it's usually me too.

 

[ttc_lolly]

9 days wow!!! I had the copper coil previously but think I'll go for the mirena this time. That may expire earlier than the copper, maybe after 5yrs I'm not 100% but it's still pretty long!

 

[time]

Oh god guys I doubt I'll be dtd for quite a few weeks! I don't even want to look down there I just feel sore haha. Anyone else ever have haemoroids after birth? I have one that I just noticed and it's getting uncomfortable.. What's the best way to get rid of them?! I have some cream but it's not prescription so don't know if it'll help.

Think I'll be going on the pill..Only ever used condoms before but I don't think we want any more bambinos especially not any time soon. My mum had the coil and got pregnant with my brother and almost lost him when they removed it so I've always been a little put off having that.

 

[Sarahcake]

5 years is definitely better than dragging yourself to the drs to be jabbed in the butt cheek every 3 months or remember to take the pill every day.

 

[kellie_w]

All I ever hear about the implant is bad things, I dont actually think I have ever known anyone who has said a single positive thing so tats out for me!

Time, I posted about hemorrhoids last week. I have a couple, they are the size of grapes after I go to the toilet and were bleeding and incredibly sore. Nothing worked on them, be very aware of germaloids, stings like hell and irritates badly. My doctor prescribed me some amazing cream, it numbs completely, called proctosydol which is safe also if breastfeeding. Also drink plenty and take some laxative, constipation makes yhem worse. I had surgery 5 years ago on piles and anal polyps, was not pleasant!

kellie- they tried surgery when she was in last, now on thurs she is having keyhole surgery but has been warned it could be a hysterectomy (sp?) as its actually gone through the back wall of her womb. the whole thing makes me shudder!

u seem to be the only one DTD, i am sure Dave would love to but no chance!!!!!

sarah- i never wanted another one after izzy, for 2 yrs she was going to be an only child, and then i got broody and decided i would only have another with a scheduled c section! hows it all going with the catheter and everything? hows logan?

Lauryn- hows millie? is amber loving being a big sister? i am so happy with poppy's weight, she is still so diddy, 3 weeks old and still smaller than izzy when she was born!

time- hey, hows u? hows the gorgeous wren?

pops- hope all is good with u x

inoue- hope u r doing ok x

 

[Sarahcake]

Hey ally I suppose one day I may change my mind but I definately do not want an induction again, or a vaginal birth for that matter. Catheter is getting a bit sore now tbh really hoping it can come out on Thursday and stay out, don't want this back for another week but then it's better than not being able to pee at all I guess. Want to feel normal now though and just get on with things!

Have the midwife this morning - they won't sign me off until the catheter is out, then health visitor this afternoon (yay). She was meant to be here yesterday between half 1 and half 2 but it got to half 3 and we had to be out, typically she turns up as we're headed out.

Logan is doing ok I think, think he's going through a little growth spurt or something ATM, he seems hungry all the time and he just won't settle anywhere until he's been held by us until he falls asleep. He's going 4 hours between feeds at night though and were having to wake him to give him those so I guess it's not all bad. Got him registered yesterday so he is an official little person now

How is Izzy getting along with Poppy? Hope they are getting on well. Poppy weight gain is brilliant apparently they start to gain really quickly once they start putting on the weight so she will likely not stay little for long now!

 

[time]

Thanks Kellie!! It's called anusol the cream I have which helps the feeling but it's not making them go down or anything.
I'm drinking tonnes of water and stool softeners and eating plenty of fruit so maybe they will just take time.

 

[time]

Hey ally baby wren is totally amazing thankyou! She's very restless on a night time and wakes herself up twitching or moving her arms and then needs cuddling back to sleep!

Poppy is so tiny!! Such a cutie and that weight gain is amazing. Bet all her clothes are swamping her at the moment!

When do you find out if the catheter can come out sarah? Really keeping my fingers crossed for you x

 

[pops23]

Hi ladies! Any one else having terrible nights with their babies? Flynn fed on and off from 7pm to 4am last night and just wouldn't settle, even though we're co-sleeping. Everyone keeps saying sleep in the day but he's not sleeping long enough for me to go to sleep! He's very restless, bless him

Any advice? Xx

 

[time]

Wren's very restless too pops I'm struggling to get any sleep at all! Would love any advice from the other ladies x

 

[Scally]

poppy is really restless too pops, she fed from 11-4am ish last night, i am thinking its all part of the 3 week growth spurt. i am like a zombie most days!

time- she is so diddy, she has actually started to fill her clothes a little more!

sarah- good luck with your hv, hope shes not too much of a bitch, grrrrrrrrr. i do hope your catheter comes out thurs, and u can pee normally again!

izzy is great with poppy, she helps with nappy changes, baths, sings to her when she cries- i usually get a commentary when poppy is crying, like "mummy she is hungry again and wants your milk"!

x

 

[Sarahcake]

Aww that's so cute with the commentary! I suspect that it wears thin on you after a bit but it's nice that izzy wants to be involved

I'm stunned that I'm going to write this, but health visitor visit was actually really positive! It's like she's had a personality transplant since I last saw her, she was bloody lovely! I must have caught her on a bad day previously :S

She noticed the tidying we have done and said that it looks great, said that Logan is doing really well, he's 9lbs half an ounce now so gaining weight back and was pleased at how well I'm coping after having a bit of a tough time with birth. She said she's gonna keep an eye because I have no family to support me up here but she has no concerns and doesn't want to see me until the new year now. But yeah, odd as she was really lovely this time.

Thanks for the well wishes regarding my catheter ladies I have a second trial without catheter on Thursday from 9am onwards so hopefully, fingers crossed, I can come home from that appointment minus this bloody pee bag! Would be nice!

As for sleeping, I think I must have a lazy boy as he spends most the day asleep and only wakes for feeds at night. Really hope your babas settle down soon, tiredness is not pleasant x

 

[Inoue]

Hi ladies! Your all keeping busy with our newborns - how cute!

Pops, Reimi is horrendous at night. Its really becoming a pain now. I had enough by 10pm last night and Marc went downstairs with her, I woke up at 5am so he will still sat holding her. Poor guy is knackered now and I know its my turn to do it tonight . I dont think there is a 'solution', its just one of those things they have to grow out of, hopefully by 5-7 weeks (although that sounds like a bloody long time when your at deaths door already). Try and find comfort that your not alone, it will get better at some point, it has too.

Im also v sore down there, I didnt tear but im sure I have internal lip grazes that are causing my discomfort, it hurts to have pads on so not a great time atm. I finally have my milk come in on one boob so Reimi bit better at feeding although were still on formula. Off to get Reimi registered this Thursday to make her all official

Will catch up on all posts after tea

Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Millie is much more awake at nights and this is when she prefers to feed too, it's just a newborn stage ladies and will settle down

time, get your GP to prescribe you some anusol the lactulose will come in handy too!

 

[kellie_w]

oh my god ally, that's horrendous! Does she already have children? If not, that's absolutely devastating that must be incredibly rare for that to happen, enough to put me off now. Definately the depo for me!

How cute is izzy with poppy! You need to put some pictures on Facebook, would love to see how much poppy has changed

That's brilliant about the health visitor Sarah, you must have had her on a off day for sure. Great news she won't be poking around and that she is happy with everything, she can obviously see what a amazing mummy you are. Hoping so much you get the catheter out, will have my fingers crossed for you Thursday. Seems Logan is the most settled out of all our babies! Oliver doesn't do the continuous feeding, he has just been very difficult to settle once he is fed. I can't imagine feeding most of the night! Is it just the breastfeed babies that are like this? I wish I knew a solution to help, but there is none! Just keep telling yourself its not forever!

Ally, We changed to mam bottles, I thought doctor browns were good, but the mam ones are amazing! What a difference since last night when we tried the first one, had a more settled night and today has been great. A much more relaxed baby with Harley any crying Just Luke now who was up most of the night with his multiple illnesses.
