Vitfa, I'm sorry! It's horrible of them not to care. Not having a ceiling is bad, but dealing with stupid people's indifference is worse. I hope things can get cleaned up for you soon.

In the meantime... until the ceiling is fixed... bring the baby in there to cry, as the sound will travel straight up to their flat!

hope everyone is doing well. no time to read back, but checked first page- quite a few babies in here!

i hope its very soon for everyone. those last few weeks can be so hard

i have been having some pain with bf and was about ready to call it done. my lactation consultants kept telling me latch was good so i just thought it was me/him. got online today and found some tips for latching. tried some out at the last 2 feeds and no pain whatsoever im so happy! my supply isnt so great so im hoping it will increase with a better latch and tons of water

 

[citymouse]

Hi, Blessed! It should definitely get better with your new latch!

 

[emera35]

Blessed, really glad you found some helpful tips for a more comfortable latch!
Try eating oatmeal, I found it was great for milk production also drink those rehydration sachets you can get for after diarrea they help

Vitfa you poor thing what a nightmare for you!

 

[crowned]

Poor Vitfa - that's terrible!!! So sorry you have to deal with this

 

[Skadi]

Blessed, a good latch will make such a difference, I hope it gets better for you!

Vitfa - thats madness!

Kk - kp us updated on scan xxx

joanna - u shud still rant away.... thats what were here for

Blessed - thats great hun!

emera - your description of motherhood (noodles on ceiling, sick in bra etc) has made me see sense that i should enjoy these final peaceful days

as for what u said about symptom spotting for labour.... i reckon ur right. i keep checking for plug loss etc and its driving me mad... i guess i just wanted a st.paddys day babt so bad heehee but ur right... it can happen outta the blue.... im going to TRY to calm it with the symptom spotting

Hey Em2656 had her baby...seen a pic on fb, no details though. Sooo pleased she'd been in hospital for days waiting for her c section

 

[firsttimer1]

aww just looked and she called her Jessica...... so happy for her and just in time for mothers day too

 

[vitfawifetobe]

Thanks ladies - We both own our houses but our insurance company is saying because its deemed ' an accident' they dont have to pay - we have to pay the excess which is fine but its pillar to post and round in circle - more upset i may have to bring a baby home to a kitchen looking like a building site and that they havent communicated with us

Hubby took me out for dinner so feeling slightly calmer - the ceiling gets removed in the morning so we will access damage then and speak to the claims company

Fee bad for hubby having this stress on top of everything else

Please feel free to rant joanna

So one way of going through the boredom of maternity leave is turn to gambling? So funny listening to FT and Lozza about the horse racing. Did you have any winners?

Another baby looking forward to hearing from Em as I've been wondering when she was due to have her c-section. I was worrying about all she had to go through so delighted all is well

Vitfa - I'm sorry about what is going on with your home. No wonder you want to come on here and rant. I think the other laddies have asked everything I would too. Hope you get it sorted xx

I'm with you Mitch on booking treatments etc... I woke up feeling so low and then decided to book an appointment at the hairdressers as my hair is a mess. Don't think baby wants to come out until I look half decent Hope the head massage works! I might think of reflexology if I get to 40 weeks (hmmm who am I kidding, when I get to 40 weeks )

I walked quite a bit today. It was really sore/painful on way home with baby headbutting down low and pushing a heavy toddler in a pram but hoping it has helped a little.

Loo - Glad all went well with your appointment today

I think I replied about everything else? Sorry if I didn't

EDIT - Oh Emera, laughed so much when I read your post about juggling two I have a feeling my life will be just as chaotic but brilliant soon

 

[firsttimer1]

widger - i did i won £7! My DH was like ''but u dont gamble''

EDIT: removed a question which was totally weird... and realised i hadnt done what i thought i had anyway

 

[emera35]

Aww FT missed your weird question! I like your questions, you have a creative mind!!

Just catching up on masterchef. Yay

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Aww... just saw on FB that em had her baby, what a cutie pie.

Thanks ladies but I don't feel the need to rant anymore haha. Wanted to complain about my Grandma whose this really jealous and insane woman, but will refrain. I'm having a good day (apart from that) and want to enjoy my first few moments of maternity leave! Wow feels good to think that i'm done... wait... I'M DONE!!!

 

[mitchnorm]

widger - i did i won £7! My DH was like ''but u dont gamble''

EDIT: removed a question which was totally weird... and realised i hadnt done what i thought i had anyway

But question is...how much did you bet though? Is that £7 up?

 

[vitfawifetobe]

Yea for maternity leave - enjoy it hun

Mitch - treatments sound lovely - ive been putting off making any but badly needing my hair cut and eyebrows waxed - may phone in the morning though

Cookies have went down a delight in the house - yummy - but feeling huge after buffet curry and cookies - oh well im huge anyway hehe

Night ladies

emera - i was being a dumb ass

I cant watch Mchef till tomo as DH is here and talks through it so dont tell me anything

Instead im watching the darts

Joanna..... MATERNITY LEAVE ROCKS! u can eat all day, burn popcorn, live in ripped PJs (unknowingly exposing your behind to posties) and gamble a whole £10 on cheltenham..... or at least, thats what i do. If your more like mitch then you can be a ''lady what lunches'' and drink your weight in coffee

[emera35]

FT I'm only watching tuesdays episode so far, hoping I'll get some of wednesdays one in too, but might dose off.

Gaah, my milk is in, and Freyja is being soo sleepy! Drink more child before I explode!!

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Yes, I'm really not too sure what I will do now that maternity leave has begun. I think I like your idea FT, eating! I'll just sit around and eat all day long ... plus I have left over baby shower cake to eat that my work gave me, so i'm all set.

Good thing I have my craft hobbies to keep me busy, at least for a few weeks.
