January Jellybeans 2013!...

[BlossomJ]

I sometimes think dh is bi polar one min were all good next min he's trying to pick a fight what's that all about ??

Things must be pretty different what with the baby & disrupted sleep. My guess is he'll be adjusting to it & I'm sure you're pretty tired too. Not saying it's ok for him to be like that, just that it can be pretty tough on a relationship when dealing with a newborn. Hopefully you're able to talk about it & get through it more easily. Even though it's wonderful finally having your baby there, it can be stressful too Not sure what your experience was like last time around, but I know that DH and I had our moments when DS was tiny. Ultimately it definitely brought us closer though.

Woohoo Darkstar, so hope this is it for you!! Good luck

Congrats Emy, so pleased for you!!

Mommy, thank you so much for sharing your story, I hope your doing ok with all your little ones!

Aruppe, so sorry Oliver is sick again Harry had his first ever projectile vomit this w'end & it scared me a lot. He seems ok though so all good.

LaMere, really hope Sam feels better soon too, hugs

We went on our first road trip this w'end to a wedding. Harry was a good boy but of course got so many cuddles that now he won't go to sleep unless he is being cuddled hopefully I can get him back on track without too many tears!

Hope everyone else is well! xxx

I think he just wants to see my reaction sometimes cuz now he's being super nice and he's sorry for before but remeber I let him sleep his 7/8 hours at night I do everything then he lets me catch up on sleep in the am so no lack of sleep for him

I agree jaime id get checked to ease ur mind!! Im sure its nothing...u had me googlig it as well, and some of thise pics are horrendous lol.

 

[BlossomJ]

Kaiecee - Hope it gets easier. It's rough if you are doing the nights by yourself - it was the same for me last time as I was BF and so there wasn't much point getting DH up. Plus he had to leave early for work. It's still a big change for your OH though. Hope he gets used to it & gives you the support you need

 

[Soniamillie01]

Emy - congrats

Darkstar - sounds like this could be it, good luck, can't wait to hear your news!

Jrow - if you're worried I'd go see your GP, even if just to put your mind at rest. I'm sure it's fine and will be back to normal in no time. As for sex, I can't see us partaking for a while, much to DH dissatisfaction! I'm going back on the pill first which starts from 21 days pp and then have a 7 day lead in so another two weeks at least!

Archie is having his first sleepover at his nannies tonight! I was nervous at first but have had time to get used to the idea - that doesn't mean I probably won't get up at 4am and drive over there and climb in my mum's bed. DH and I are going to get some dinner and spend some time together, I think he thought I'm in here, on a promise poor guy, best I let him down gently

We def won't be dtd until at least my 6 week appointment and dh has been so sweet saying we will take as long as I need. I have to say it is the last thing on my mind at the moment and I obviously dont have all the raging hormones you ladies all have. ;-). We will be using condoms for contraception. I was on the mini pill before i got pregnant which I was happy with, but it took ages to get out of my system last time and took us 9 months to conceive. As I am about to turn 35 in feb if we want to give eva some siblings I dont want to hang about waiting for the pill to get out my system again. Although saying that it will be at least a year before we think about more babies!

 

[Leinzlove]

Darkstar: Sounds like we'll be getting a baby update soon.

I can't imagine sex anytime soon... After pains and sooooo sore!

 

[Betheney]

Ok so I'm freaking out bc I just researched pelvic prolapse and I'm scared that maybe it happened to me and that's why things look so funky???? I'm scared to look again!

Months and months after having Eva I decided to feel for my cervix which I was horrified to find was very close to the entrance, seriously very vwey reachable. I wad devastated and convinced I had a prolapse as it was crazy low. I could t even bring myself to check again and probably waited a good 6 months before checking againa nd found it was completely back to the same distance as it was pre-pregnancy which for me is virtually unreachable. I thought I haf a prolapse for sure because it was such a drastic difference buti was months and months past delivery and was sure everything couldn't heal anymore and that was the final product... well I was wrong. I just needed a few more months and in time went back to normal. But I didn't have an issue with tightness it was my cervix hanging crazy low

Nash arrived 8 pound 9. Laboured at home for about 4 hours. Got to hospital 7 cm dilated. Born almost 3 hours later with just gas. Agony but didnt tear badly. going to sleep while he is finally settled he has some mucas troubling him but latches well.

Congratulations dark star!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Congrats Darkstar!

 

[BlossomJ]

Congratulations Darkstar! Glad that baby finally made an appearance

 

[La Mere]

Tbh, I don't know anything about that stuff... I've never even been on the pill, lol. We've always just used condoms or a vaginal film that is a spermicide. Sorry I am not much help. And wow, Sassy, you had already gotten your period back by your 6 week appt.? I didn't get mine back until after Rayven's first bithday!

Random question for moms of more than one... How long after you had your kids did you get your period back?

It depends on if u bf or not cuz I got mine back pretty fast with my 1st I wasn't bf'ing with my second I bf'ed 3 months got mine back couple months later

Yeah, I know bf'ing has a lot to do with it. I was just curious, lol. I wonder how long it will be this time around.....

I'm almost not bleeding too. I give it a couple of days to finish up. It's 8 days since Matthew. Nurse said not to DTD for 6 weeks and i'm keeping it that way. Haha, it's been hard though, with all the extra cuddling we can manage now without a bump.

I'm a little discouraged. When I pump milk I can only get around 1.5 to 2.5 ounces it seems. I'm sure Matthew is getting a lot more when he nurses, because I can see all the milk coming out, but I wish I was pumping more. After NICU I felt like I was chasing after him to have him breast feed, since I couldn't really do it 'til after 24 hours he was born. Hope I get more soon.

I never waited the full 6 weeks. I waited 4 weeks with Rayven and not even 2 weeks this time! Maybe I'm addicted! my midwife last time told me as long as it wasn't too painful and I was enjoying it, to have at it!

Drink TONS of water! I pumped about 4 oz total the other day and I could tell I still had some in there! I think I drink more now than I did while I was pregnant... And my breasts are still getting hard and leaking all over the place. They both started leaking on me while I was getting dressed this morning!

Yeah, I've been bad on my water drinking!

Yeah, I can tell the difference when I don't drink enough.. And even when I do, I still feel thirsty ALL the time lol

Baby Heath Alexander born 17th January 2013, weighing 9lbs15oz. Got to hospital and he was born an hour later in the pool

How many of us are still waiting now? Can't be too many! After spending the longest time not being in a hurry for her to arrive, I'm definitely looking forward to it now... can't wait in fact. Get a wriggle on baby!
