Good luck for Tuesday Bizy

Lucky my notes say my labour was 4 hours, so assume that means active labour? Thats how long I was in labour unit for, I did start with pains on the ward prior, but not much before. Sweets were great during my labour rofl

Wild, Lucky, Hopeful.. hope this little babies start putting in their appearances! Going over due really is no fun although now feels like he has been here for ages

My milk has kicked in, and last night George was finding it very weird and struggling so we had a rough night lol However, he he has been better today, feeding less time but still going about 3 hours between feeds. My nipples are so tender though, it will get easier right? It stings so much for him to latch on, although feeding is comfortable and pain free, but that first few seconds is oowwww! lol

 

[Wiggler]

New, it does get easier luckily. My poor nips were cracked, raw and bleeding, but almost pain free BF now

 

[24/7]

I seem to have hit the wall now.
Hi new, glad all is going well. xx

[24/7]

Thanks wiggler. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Thanks wiggler! Ive been applying Lansinoh so not cracked, yet! lol Ouch!

24! Who's crying? you or little man? Hope you're ok!

George is asleep in his Moses basket, and my parents have gone to bed so i really ought to shut my eyes and get a sleep before he wakes for his next feed due about midnight. I gave George a dummy lasy night, I know not toally ideal BFing, but he was really struggling with the milk thing and was on and off the breast every 15minutes but wouldnt feed so gave him the dummy, made him go longer between and he eventually took a feed and by the end of the night/breakfast he took a proper feed then slept until lunch but now he likes his dummy ooops!

24

New I would get a sharp shooting pain when I let down the first few weeks. I actually get it now when I leak tons lol.

 

[24/7]

Me.... Everything hurts and feels weird and oh I don't know, just hormones xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

24 are you taking regular pain relief hun? I hope everything starts to settle down quickly for you! I was just having a moan there to OH about how chaotic the house is with everyone here. Everything is so new takes some adjusting to.

Oh the boss is calling ... me thinks he might want to inflict more booby pain on mummy! ouchy!

 

[hopefulmama]

I'v been getting weird sharp shooting pains in my left boob that feels like it starts deep inside and goes to my nipple, started happening yesterday. First i thought it was my chest then after it kept happening i realized it was my boob. I'm so over all these aches and pains, problems, discomfort etc, i really don't think if i knew all of this from the beginning i would have gone through with this. This is been such a miserable time and my body is ruined and forever changed, i know it sounds horrible to say but i'm just being honest... no one tells you any of this shit you go through in pregnancy just the highlight reel, it;s pretty much bullshit. Thats why i can say from the depths of my heart i will NEVER do this again nor do i want tnce is enough.

 

[Wiggler]

aww 24/7 You will feel better soon hun!

I'm such a loser, even though I'm not watching the Eurovision live I'm still getting really excited over it

 

[new_to_ttc]

Hopeful it doesnt sound like you have too long left hun, hope having your little baby in your arms make you feel some what better about your physical changes!

Wiggler, it wasnt exciting live, never mind 2nd time round lol

The boss fed for 20 minutes or so and is now settled asleep so me thinks i should take note and do the same.

ps - i cant find the mayhem thread lol

 

[hopefulmama]

New-its not just physical, its the whole process, mental and physical, physical being the long standing obstacle. I know its worth it, i'm not saying that it isn't, just simply saying i'd never do it again.

 

[mummy3]

hopeful, pregnancy isn't for everyone!

24/7, hope you're feeling better

Is terry wogan still doing eurovision? I used to thik he was hilarious

 

[lisaf]

hopeful - so sorry... I do understand. What you're feeling is totally normal.
I do hope that in the end, you find that it doesn't matter as much as it does right now. Not just that its worth it, but that it more than makes up for the permanent changes.

I think with your determination though, that you'll be one of those people who get back in shape quickly.

 

[24/7]

I've had some paracetamol tonight and it has helped a little bit. I think the adrenaline has worn off now and all the aches are coming out and it seems extra hurty. Sam is being a superstar though, so all is forgiven when I look at him!!

I must admit I wi be glad when all the visiting is done, MIL tomorrow and I'm dreading it!! FIL overstayed his welcome today and didn't want to leave!!

Hopeful, huge hugs!! On the body side of things, I'm only just going into day three and my tummy is going back and it's going down by the day. We will all get there in the end. In my pregnancy journal this afternoon i posted pics of my tummy from
Labour and then every day sincd until today xx

 

[mummy3]

24/7 you look awesome

I never had much trouble getting my stomach back to flat but then I never really got a bump

 

[24/7]

Thanks mummy!! It's gone down super fast, and tbh if it never changed from today I'd feel pretty happy!! I can feel my stomach muscles under the jelly bit already and you can start to see the outline xx

 

[hopefulmama]

24- You look great!! My belly is way bigger than yours was at time of delivery. I;m not worried about losing the weight i'm more concerned with the gross skin and stretch marks.

Lisa- thanks, how are you and the baby doing?
