Lavo if u go into labour I'll be green with envy haha especially after the day I'm having lol. Seriously tho good luck =)

THanks for the suggestions girls. I'm waiting it out for my midwife appointment tomorrow. Pain is no better at all. But I can't get up to use the bath etc so hopefully once my husband gets home I can have a good soak etc. Reserved some crutches in Argos just in case! Sounds melodramatic doesn't it haha but I literally can't bear any weight on my pelvis at all and if it's not better tomorrow i will need something so I can at least get to my appointment !
 
Rhi - it sounds like severe spd but maybe you managed to pull the ligament when you moved quickly so are having the same pain. Spd was awful :-( try to keep your legs together and good posture with feet flat on the floor. You will probably find lying in bed is painful and have difficulty turning over. Take painkillers!

Been really busy here so no proper update but thinking of you all!
 
No news here, just waiting on test after test. I hate all of the waiting.
 
Angel - I hope you hear something soon :hugs:

Lavo - hopefully it means things are going in the right direction for you!


Rhi - hopefully you'll feel a bit better by tomorrow, if lying down is agony I would say sleep on lots of pillows or on the sofa tonight, when pgp is at it's worst for me I can't face lying down and being upright sort of helps.


AFM - I had sore contractions this morning every 10 - 12 minute for a few hours but as always after a few hours it fizzled into nothing thanks to my irritable/ing uterus, I could actually kick DH! called him at work and his reaction? look on the brightside, at least he won't miss the england match tonight :growlmad: seriously? do I look like I'm in the mood for jokes??? :dohh:
 
starlight I second the dummy. Leo would be so unsettled when I put him down and one of the hospital midwives said he was a very sucky baby so we got him a dummy and it has worked great.
 
That sounds awful Rhi. I hope that you've pulled something that heals itself quickly, or that your midwife will help you at least!

I'm still getting the contractions but they've spread out a bit. They seem to get more frequent with walking however my feet are hurting from pacing around. I'm not having any great pain but a few have taken my breath away. I'm just scared that my body is going to let them fizzle out now.

Vanilla - That sounds like something that my Husband would say!
 
Karli for bad tummy and constipation:

Try the ready made carton aptamil for a feed or two
Clockwise tummy rubbing
Nice warm bath and washing around the bottom (!)
Cooked boiled water one or two ounces

These are the things I tried for Arthur and it worked :) He went from every single nappy being dirty when he was breastfeeding to almost only once every 48hrs now! Hope Poppy is ok xx
 
Congrats on all the new babies!!

Dory- my son had an umbilical hernia as well as a hydrocele which is fluid around the testicle. Both are very common and they both cleared themselves up in a couple months. The hernia doesn't hurt them but my doc said it could possible take up to 2 years to clear itself up. Just ask your doc about it.

Starlight- so sorry your baby is crying so much. You definitely haven't done anything wrong. When you put baby down what are you putting her in? Crib, swing, bouncer? you might want to try a soft wrap such as a K'tan that won't bother your csection incision. Also, like the other ladies said it could be reflux or it could be that the formula your using isn't agreeing with baby. I would ask your doc about it.

AFM- I'm feeling much better than I did. Still can't really bend over and can't lift heavy things like my son but I'm able to walk around and get some thengs around the house. Juliette is a really mellow baby (my son was too) I'm hoping she isn't tricking me lol She basically just eats, sleeps, and poops and only cries when she gets hungry. My son doesn't hate her lol which I was worried about but we'll see how that goes as time goes on and he realizes that she's not leaving.

For all the ladies waiting for their babies maybe the full moon will be some help. Here's hoping!
 
Angel hope you have news soon.

RhI sorry to hear you're in so much pain :(

Someone in here mentioned baby acne - I think Dory or Boo. I think Róise is getting it too- looks like little pimples? Is there anythingI can do to treat it or do I just have to let it run its course? How long does it last?
 
Aww yes Jack had it, my oldest. Lasted about 3 weeks proper yellow pimples! Poor thing. Nothing you can do about it, it will all disappear soon enough XX
 
That's great news Angel! :hugs:


The spots sound like milia, it's just blocked ducts/ trapped skin flakes and very common, DS had it too. It doesn't cause any pain and will clear up within a few weeks without you needing to do anything .
 
Georgia has a bit of baby acne. It's not as bad as it was bit definitely still there. I asked the health visitor about it and she said it normally takes weeks to months to clear up but to just let it run its course.
Milia is slightly different. That's like tiny white spots that are there at birth but clear up pretty quickly. Baby acne is like red pimples. A Google image search should show you :)
 
I thought people meant the white spots, they're pretty similar though.
 
Thanks for all your suggestions. Surprisingly she napped in her bassinet twice today! I was able to nap while she was napping. I hope today wasn't a fluke and she continues to nap there so I can put her down during naps.

We have tried a pacifier/dummy and sometimes it works for a few minutes. Today I gave her it while I had a very quick lunch! We also bought swaddle blankets but something happened at the hospital that made us adverse to swaddling. A nurse swaddled her so tightly that she started choking on her spit up because she couldn't turn her body to let it roll out. It was horrifying! I ordered another swing today (we bought one but returned it after assembling because it didn't work right!).


Lavochain, sounds like baby may be in the way!

Geralyn, glad your recovery is coming along well! I really struggled with it and still am. I have to wear the abdominal binder when I'm walking around and carrying her or I feel pain. Waking up after being in a laying down position all night is also still painful.

Vanilla, we just watched the England game! That's something my husband would say about soccer/football lol

Angel, great news!
 
That is fantastic news Angel, hopefully this is the start of things getting better. You can go home and be with all of your family <3

I'm in pain with my stomach and pelvis but the contractions are all but gone. I'm fed up, I didn't think I'd have reached 39 weeks of pregnancy but it looks like he wants to stay put until the end now.
 
Great news Angel!

Starlight, if you aren't already, try using a pillow to support your tummy when sleeping - it's kinda like when you're pregnant! Hopefully the pain will ease soon.

I was wondering what the little white spots were; she has had them all over her nose since birth although they seem to be clearing now. But the little pimples are red looking. Poor baby; I hope they don't develop any more.

Dory, I'm very wary of Google image searches ;)
