It ended in a big fight too. He said he doesn't understand how I can talk to "strangers"'about everything and I should be talking to him! This is coming from the guy who hasn't read 1 parenting book!! I'm so mad at him - how much time he spends on FB or reading about football meanwhile I am on here with our son's best interests at heart

 

[jms895]

Ignore him, you know you are doing nothing wrong!

If he is that bothered let him read your posts! All you do is put your son and family first xx

 

[lovealittle1]

he's hiding upstairs at the moment. Hope he stays there. I don't know what I would do without you girls. Xxxxoooo

BnB is such great support it's got me through 2 pregnancies I dont get men sometimes

 

[millward329]

Hugs to you LoveaLittle....don't leave us and just ignore Mr sulky bum - he'll get over it. Maybe he is feeling a little sensitive as he now shares you with Keiran too?

 

[Jolene]

I agree. B&B has got me through TTC, my mc's and this last, sometimes stressful pregnancy. I can't speak to my friends openly like I can on here (as weird as that sounds, lol) I laugh at the thought of the responses I'd get on FB if I posted things like I do on here.

OK, like this question:

I bled briefly after my c-sec and now since yesterday I've been bleeding but the blood is really dark (like old blood? Sorry TMI) Has anyone else experienced this? And there has been quite a bit, gross! And now today I've been having some pain, first on the left side and now on the right??!!

 

[lovealittle1]

Jolene - I'm still bleeding But it is getting less and less now. Not sure about the pains hun can you call the doc or mw??

 

[jms895]

Jolene, is it gushes or continuous?

I have more or less stopped bleeding now other than a tiny bit prob once or twice a day when I wipe.

I love Bnb and talk to some people on here more than 'real' friends. I rely on it sooo much.

I agree with Susie, maybe OH is jealous he is sharing you with Keiron AND Bnb now? xx

 

[Jolene]

Jade, I think it is more like gushes, why?

 

[jms895]

Should be ok i think. I think if its constant more cause for concern>?

I just been to loo and spoke to soon I am bleeding again Now

I cant stop bloody eating I swear I am eating about 5000 calories a day lol

 

[Jolene]

Tx Jade, I hope so.

I have lost my apetite since Mackenzie was born but this evening is another story. I can't stop eating? Maybe it's the blood loss, lol. Actually now that i've said it, it doesn't sound so crazy.

Hey girls! OH is just feeding Holly before we all go out for a walk. She is 1 month old today, cant believe it!! A month ago I was in hosp unconscious when she was born!!

I think I am gonna put the cot in my room too soon, sick of carrying moses up and down all day!

I did this last night as my sensor pad didnt fit in the moses basket. J took well to the cot and he loves the mobile on it. He does like to stay awake in the early hours but come 4 or 5 am he feeds up then zonks out for 5 hours so im feeling refreshed today.

MW just been and J as gained 75g in 2 days so im very very happy

Yey for weight gain J!!!

Boooooo!!! Throw the parenting book at him hun!!! OH and I had a big to-do last night as he'd agreed to do 1am feed but then when Holly woke up Ihad to kick him to get up and he was in a proper mard and ended up shouting at me that I was a knob, on my high horse and to shut up. I get annoyed enough that I have to wake up even when I'm not doing the feed but needless to say he got a telling off for his attitude. Men!

Not sure about pain hunny but as for bleeding I was told it would start to ease off and then come back in full again before it gradually went. Sounds like this for you. Mine is still easing off and I was getting a heavy amount and clots for a while, spoke to doc and they said it was fine.

hi mummies!

I got my staples out today and feel so much better. The nurse even said i was healing really quickly and that my body was pushing some of the staples out by itself...lol

I had Quinn weighed while there just so i could see how well BF was going. he now weighs 5lbs 9.5oz. Thats 6 oz more then he weighed at birth and hes only 6 days old today. Not sure but i think thats better than he should weigh? How long were you all told it would take your babies to get back to birth weight? I thought it was a week but Quinn passed his birth weight already.

glad you are feeling better without the staples i found most of my discomfort was the beads at the end of my stitch, was a relief to get it out.
I think after a week they can put weight on but Quinn is doing really well to put on more than he lost if that makes sense, well done you!

 

[jms895]

Alexander put another 5 oz on and now 8 pound

Was gonna go swimming but MW said not a good idea due to my tear and infection

Happy 1 month Holly!

Hey mummies. Wow its so nice to come on here and read about all your issues and know I am not alone. Having some of the exact same probs.

Lovealittle - I have been struggling over the past few days with feeding too. Yesterday wasn't too bad bt I agree that night is worst when you just want him to latch on wuick and get on with it but youve got arms and legs everywhere. I bought a waddling pod thing from mothercare that velcro's across Toby and I have to hold his arm down to stop him from atacking my boobs! Lansinoh is working for me too provided I keep slathering it on after every feed.

Me and OH have also had a few moments of not seeing eye to eye over the last few days - funnily enough coinciding with my feeding and breast pain meltdowns. Coincidence?!?! I think not!! He says I have been saying things we could try to make our lives easier like expressing and maybe evn introducing formula (i don't really want to but was getting desperate with the pain of latching on) and wasn't trying anything out. He got frustrated with me and said I needed to just relax and enjoy Toby. Then wen he was mega fussy the other night and wouldn't stop crying he got really cross with me and Toby and stormed upstairs. Men!! But we are much better now and had a cuddle last night. Not a proper cuddle lol but was nice to hug and snuggle! Just what I needed. And think he is jealous of Toby and me as he said something like 'you get to bond with him much more than I do' a few times. Suppose its hard for the men as they have to stand by whilst we feed and most of the time babies like their mummies to be there.

Lisa and Jade are you feeling any better today?

xxxx

hi leanne nice to see you, what is it with men eh! its funny that most of them are the same at the same time... Joe was quite unsettled last night and what pisses me off is the stupid questions..'Do you want me to take him downstairs as its not fair on the neighbours' FFS rather than just saying it, why not just take him down stairs as I would of done if it was him trying to settle him for more than 2 hours!
Shall I put him in here, shall I change him, shall I put the kettle on? He has lost the powers of thinking for himself at the moment..
Joe has been quite noisy and moany, think he has terrible wind but he spits out gripe water, not sure what else to give him.
Lisa I got some of those sock ons that Holly had and they are brilliant,ive just got another pair, there were £6 in Mothercare but I got some off Ebay for £2.60!

Glad my husband isn't the only one! Don't get me wrong, he was really helpful with cooking and cleaning when he was at home but, the asking a millon questions was wearing a bit thin with me! lol Why have they not got a mind of their own! He can't even get him dressed as he says that he doesn't know what to put on him!

Feeding is getting a lot easier now (So stick with it ladies) not so much pain at all and he is getting quicker and sometimes only takes 10 mins and he is done.

My swelling has gone down so much now and, I think my stitches have dissolved. The only thing is, my pelvic floor muscles are so weak now! I really must work on those as I don't want to end up buying tenna lady's!

I am now 2lb lighter then before pregnant but, still have a really saggy tum. (Lovely!!) I just want my body back! but I guess it is going to take much longer then 3 weeks and a hell of a lot of exercise (When I get the time)

 

[sar35]

Just had a thought as i read your post Naomi, maybe in their own little way the men are asking these questions as a way to feel wanted or maybe attention seeking, I dont know just maybe.

 

[sar35]

lol can you imagine if they were off for 10months paternity leave!
