Knocked Up Naughties

[topazicatzbet]

i ve just been offered another reflexology session this afternoon, for free this time.
she said to my mum she didnt feel i was ready last time so we will see if we have more luck this time.

i have to say though since my last session the migrains have gone, im a big fan of reflexology, im sure it helped me get my bfp. its amaing how they can pick up on things in your body just from your feet.

lets keep our fingers crossed.

GL with the reflexology Beth

Jenny, I started to get dizzy and light headed over the weekend, my bp runs on the low side of normal anyway so thnk it is just my body trying to adjust/compensate as I had it last time. From what I gather it can be fairly usual. How have ur dr and mw been? mymw phoned me the the day I put my self down fr a booking appt, I hope urs have been as good. If it continues it may be worth having a word with ur gp/mw

Jen - that sounds really awful, but does it make you feel a bit confident in the bean? I always found my nausea really reassuring. I do hope you feel better soon.

Beth - at the virgin Mary comment!! Callum will come out when he's good and ready. It's so frustrating though, isn't it? Freya was 11 days late, and I spent that last couple of weeks driving myself crazy.

Hi everyone else! I don't have a lot of time this morning... in fact, strictly speaking I really should have Freya up and eating her breakfast by now. Meh. Like anyone's going to have a go at me for being a bit late for work.

I'm feeling pretty good, although back to getting quite tired in the afternoons again. I think in the new year I might try to swing a day working from home each week again. It really does make a difference.

I was thinking this morning about whether or not we should just start a new thread under BNB Groups - for everyone again. The 'Best of the Rest' thread is pretty quiet these days, but I'm sure some of those girls are still around. Maybe if we plonked ourselves on more neutral territory they'd come out of the woodwork? Just a thought.

 

[topazicatzbet]

that sounds like a good idea to me.

 

[Mork]

Go for it! xx

 

[topazicatzbet]

perhaps we could call it team naughties reunite.

 

[Mork]

sounds good, or team naughties - the next chapter!!

[topazicatzbet]

Hi Ladies

Sorry I've not been around much but I've been having a rough time the last few days and feeling pretty down. Zara has been so unsettled that me and DH are almost at our wits end right now

Her colic hasn't really improved much and my weight has dropped so much I've been struggling to express milk so we have decided to stop breastfeeding which I am gutted about but my health and having a happy baby have to be number 1 priority - so sat here with incredibly sore and engorged breasts which are leaking like mad but hoping they will settle down soon.

I don't seem to have time for anything at the moment as I've been constantly feeding, expressing, cuddling Zara and anything else which will stop her screaming. She will only settle lying on me or DH which is a habit we dont want to get her into.

God this parenting lark is so hard - I can so understand why so many women get PND, I don't think I'm there yet but going to keep a close eye on things as I'm certainly a bit of a wreck at the moment.

Hope you are all well

Be back soon if I ever get another minute to myself

it doesnt matter how she gets fed as long as she has a full tum at the end of it.
you have to look after yourself as well hun. she has had the colostrum feeds which are the most important.

i have to say, im not looking forward to all these sleepless nights as i have to go it alone. do you think i can train some of the cats to help with the feeding.

Beth, my dh hasn't had one sleepless night yet so all the night feeds/crying etc is done by my self, the biggest advise i can say is sleep when lo does, no matter how much those pots need washing leave them, they will wait,
In blondies case there really is bugger all you can do with regards to sleep etc and as you can see both prents suffer.

 

[tori_cottier]

Blondie hun i cant say how awful i feel or you, you both must be knacked and you have done the right thing by you and zara with regards to changing onto ff i have always said when it effects me or orry i will give up and wont feel bad for it because i tried. to you both hunny, your doing a great job, with regards to engorged breasts if it gets to bad go to the doctor hun as they can give you something that will relax your breast enought to release the milk etc (mine did this with dd) also a hot flannel releives the pain a little.

hope you get some sleep soon chick

 

[caitlenc]

Aw, Blondie, hang in there sweetie, it will get better. You have to take care of yourself, so don't feel guilty about moving to formula, if you're happy then Zara will be happy. I found that wearing a tight sports bra helped with the engorgement...

Beth, hope things start moving soon!

to all of you, I have to run, Harper is calling! Will try to get back on here soon!

 

[topazicatzbet]
