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

[Scally]

Sarah- have you heard back from the meeting yet? When he comes home you definitely need to make some heads spin!

Lauryn- Hope Millie continues to be better, it is so hard, i get so much guilt with Izzy, especially at the moment when i'm fit for nothing!

I didnt have a scar infection with Izzy, i had a womb infection, with lots of bleeding/clots etc, this time the bleeding etc was minimal, but didnt realise i had a womb infection which i think then spread to my scar. It is still leaking, and the nurses havent been- they told Dave at the surgery that they will be here today or tomorrow!!!??? All i can think of is that they have been told its a re-dress or something surely they shouldnt just leave me with a 5cm open wound in my tummy thats still leaking blood and pus? It is very stingy now, Dave has just gone to boots to get a dressing to put on it as the sanitary towels werent quite doing their job!

We had the HV round today, she has raised a concern with Poppys head circumference- she was 98 centile when born now 50- it could be down to the fact she was a c section delivery so head didnt squash down or down to human error of measuring. I need to see her in a month to see if its grown.

That's awful Ally, I saw on FB that that's what they said thank goodness for Dave bless him! Any chance you could nip to hospital? I hope it was just an error made at Poppys birth re her head circ.

Sarah how did the meeting go? Your new status on FB almost made me cry, I feel for you and Neil so much has Logan not gone to your FIL's care? x

 

[kellie_w]

Same lauryn, luke is mostly happy playing with toys and watching peppa pig and wall e, he has always wanted to play alone which I guess is good but I do feel so guilty. I want to potty train him next month, no idea how im going to do that with a screaming clingy baby! Im not sure if its colic. Its not just after feeds, its morning and evening, between 8 and 12 then 5 til 9. He is content for around 15 minutes during these times, the rest he is crying. I guess he is just like his brother! I have had a few cries, that helps a little. I think having wes at home over christmas had made things worse, 10 days of help now all on my own again.

Sarah. I saw your post on facebook. Im not sure when you will come back here and see this but im so so sorry. I am devastated that this is the outcome. I just dont understand with no proof how they can do this. I really thought it wouldn't turn out this way. And 4 months wait?!?! What a joke. I dont know what else to say, im just so angry. You have so much support though, all those friends who want to help you. Again it backs up what lovely innocent people you and neil are. I wish I could fight for you, if I could do anything to help I would. Its so damn unfair on the 3 of you xxx

 

[kellie_w]

And now im more cross. Perfect innocent parents like sarah and neil who do nothing wrong and have to suffer for doing norhing except loving and protecting their child and now I read on twitter about a mother who today wanted nandos so bad she took her 19 month old in a car without a car seat. But it was ok cos she was holding him. Jeez, this world is so wrong.

Oh god i am so sorry about that Sarah- there is such an injustice in this i think u should take it to the papers! On the day they decide Neils dad isnt suitable, wtf???!!! After getting your hopes up like that?
AND that his veins are larger so could have been caused by anything trivial and STILL they think u have done something awful?!?!!! And 4 months to wait until court??? What is wrong with these people??? I am angry for you, upset, shocked, i dont blame u starting smoking again, this situation is insane!

xxxxxx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Sarah I am shocked and horrified how they've dealt with it all can't even begin to know what you & Neil are going through, but please know we are all here for you x

 

[time]

How is everybody?
Sarah I cannot believe how you have been treated. I hope you and Neil fight with all you have to get him back where he belongs as soon as possible.

Is anybody else still feeling bruised down below? It's been 5 weeks now and I didn't have stitches or anything but I just feel a little sore still. I have my 6 week check next week anyway so I presume they check everything is normal?!

 

[Inoue]

Sarah. Im so so sorry hun, this is beyond unfair and unjustified. After ALL that work Neils dad did to be the main carer, it just gets pushed aside. I really feel for you at this hard time. Are you able to have any contact with Logan through the foster carers? What is this about court? Are you going to court to try and fight for him back or is it a case agaisnt you? Sorry for the questions, i cant see any writing about the info above.
As for the 'reasons' behind the injury.. what a loads of BS?!! As you say, it could of been anything and as you wasnt aware of the large veins (as no one would be) then how could you of prevented trauma?! Im completely lost with how this has worked out.

Remember that he is YOUR son, you brought him into this world and you deserve to have him back in your arms, i pray all will work out in your favour sooner rather than later .

Kellie, Im sorry sweetie that Oliver has been non stop with the crying, it can drive you to dispair when they just wont settle. Its not because your a bad mum, very far from it. When Reimi goes off like that for hours, i have to generally remind myself that shes just a baby and this is her way of acting out. Weve recentlt found that she loves her rocking chair and (if that fails) the sound of a hairdryer shuts her up. I now have an app which does hairdryer sound for me to use on a night. Maybe experiment with different sounds? Hope things have been better today x

Time, i didnt have stitches either but i healed and stopped bleeding about 2 weeks ago. Not had any soreness since. Maybe its just taking you a little longer, all bodies heal differently. You could mention it on your 6 week check x

Scally, hope your C-sec scar heals up soon, what a nightmare! Cant believe its got to the point of putting a pad on it?! Bloody hope the medics get it sorted soon! x

Hope everyone elce is doing ok, all fine with me and Reimi. Cant believe how quick my little girl is growing, she's going to be sooo tall when she's older!

Sarah, understandable btw loved the new photo you posted on FB

How is everyone? All is well here, I had my 6wek check up yesterday and it was just a chat really about how I'm feeling mentally and physically and then contraception. I've decided to go for the mirena, no more kiddies for me for a looooong time - or ever according to my OH

Millie is responding to the colic water and infacol, evenings are now a lot better and there's a lot less screaming. The past few night times have been pretty bad though, waking every hour or so and then taking a while to settle back down.

Nothing much to report really apart from that! Hope you're all ok x

 

[pops23]

Understand Sarah, sending lots of love xxx

All is getting better here, Flynn has been really poorly but he's starting to get better, I'm ill now but will live. We basically haven't had an evening in two weeks because of all the crying and refusing too settle, it's not colic he's just very fractious in the evenings. He's sleeping fairly well, 11-4 last night, but the only way I can get him to sleep is to put him on my chest and I end up falling asleep like that and sneaking him off me when I happen to wake up!!

How is everyone else? Lauryn glad to hear that Millie is improving, are you still breast feeding? Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Yep still BF'ing pops, how is it going for you? Millie will only fall asleep in my arms and I do keep falling asleep with her in bed. Like you, I wake up and then sneakily transfer her to her basket! Glad Flynn is better bless him, hope you feel well soon

 

[time]

That's understandable sarah. Sending love to you and Neil x

What did they do at the 6 week check lauryn? I have mine next week and don't know what to expect! Glad the gripe water and infacol have helped! Wrens hasn't been sleeping as well the, last 2 nights either, maybe it's the 5 week growth spurt!!?
The hot water bottle in her moses basket trick works wonders still though I drag it out and put her in and because it's warm she doesn't wake up.

Glad little Flynn is feeling better and hope you are soon too!

Hope your tummy is healing well now ally I've been worrying about you!

Bless ya Sarah. No problem about the posts, ill keep checking FB

I have my 6 week HV check tomorrow so will be interested to see what Reimi weighs now, I have my 8 week GP check on the 25th where ill go back on pill and Reimi will get her jabs (fun!).

Pops. God Flynn sleeps well! Im lucky if I get 2hours in one period, let alone 5 hours. Guess thats the difference if you co-sleep (i guess your still doing that). Well done!

Xx

 

[pops23]

My 6 week check was rubbish! 10 mins, checked my BP, glanced at by scar and that was about it! Waste of time. Decided not to go back on BC as want to five y body a break after 13 years of the pill and being pregnant. Condoms for us this year!

I'm still breast feeding but it's been Tricky the last few days with Flynn being ill and not being able to breathe. He's feeding better today but I did give him some formula last night for the first time, it knocked him out from 11-4.20! May give him a bottle of expressed tonight and see if that does the same job! Xxx

 

[kellie_w]

Hi girls glad to see you and babies are all doing well. Glad to hear flynn is getting better, it is awful seeing them struggle to breathe and not to be able to help.

The 6-8 week checkup is a joke. I had mine today, after a hour wait the doctor just asked if I was feeling ok and that was it! He then quickly checked ollie over, didnt weigh or measure him and that was it. I even had to remind him to fill in the red book! He thinks ollie has reflux, and gave a prescription for gaviscon. Im not keen to use it as a) im not 100% convinced it is actually reflux, I think he is just fussy and b) it causes constipation so is it going to make things worse. He has improved a lot ovwer the last week, crying less until today and smiling more. The jabs were horrendous, I was fibe with the first after seeing the canulaur put in last month but when the nurse said the second one stings like hell I started to cry. Yep, ollie screamed the place down and boy have we paid the price today! Grumpy, crying, temperature. Calpol took his temperature down but the crying continued. Good luck to you all, I know everyone has this to come! Is anyone choosing not to vaccinate?

Im taking drastic steps to lose the baby weight and have started the cambridge diet. My goal is 5 stone in 12 weeks. Im dreading tomorrow as day 2 and 3 are ment to be the worse as your body goes into ketosis.

Sarah, I agree with what you are doing. Its sad but neccessary. I hope the fight is picking up pace. You are still in my thoughts every single day.

Its so exciting to see so many posts today! I miss reading whats going on with you all!!

 

[ttc_lolly]

time, it's as Kellie explained it really. It's mostly a chat, see how you're doing mentally & physically.

Poor Flynn, hope he's better soon! I have expressed twice since Millie was born, I am far too lazy to do anymore so much easier to whip a boob out! Millie has been bad the last few nights but they have a growth spurt around 6 weeks so I'm putting it down to that.

Kellie, we are delaying vaccinations. She will be having them, but not until she's 3.5 months +. Poor Ollie, I hope he's feeling better soon. Good luck on the CD hun, you can do it! I know of some much cheaper and nicer tasting VLCD plans if you are interested? CD is a lot cheaper than LL but still a little overpriced IMO, but if you feel you need the "counsellor" then I suppose it is money well spent. I always go it alone and just use weight loss forums and FB support groups for help and advice. I wish I could do a VLCD but obvs can't because I'm bf'ing. You can do it, just keep positive and break your end goal up into mini goals/achievements, it seems less daunting then I think. Day 2/3 is hard, just drink plenty of water and they'll pass soon enough I did join SW this evening though and feeling very positive, ready to shift this weight!

 

[kellie_w]

Thanks lauryn I definately need the counseller support, I always fail at diets! My mil is doing it too, as we are goinf together we get discounts so its working out around £45 a week. We are already saving money though, no evening trips to sainsbury to buy coke and chocolate! Good luck with slimming world, I always enjoyed that diet. I love carbs so eating unlimited pasta and potatoes was really for me! I just never has the will power to continue once the losses slow down! Did you gain much with millie? I gained loads with luke but not nowhere near as much with oliver x
