Mother of all conception months Graduates

Oh and the yo mst wake the baby every 3 hors even if they have been glued to your boob since they entered the world.

Ok i am never going to sleep I am all wound up lol
 
I completely echo the others on the feeding Hun, do not do anything you feel uncomfortable with as you will regret it. They really do not need anything for the first few days, thats why he's been putting on fat these last few weeks. Get your self home where you feel more comfortable, make sure you relax with him and get lots of skin to skin and the milk will flow. The more pressure you feel the harder it will be. Warmth helps, take a bath together, that kind of thing. Come to us for reassurance we've all got a lot of experience between us and whatever your feeling one of will have felt it. The first few weeks are tough, but that's why we've got a support group :hugs:

Thankfully my neighbours have stopped partying and for the first time both my kids we're in bed at a reasonable time with nothing left to do but me and hubby curl up together it was fab!!
 
ohhhhh claire sounds fab. Matts not home till tuesday for 3 nights. And I am feeling very naughty lol or actually deprived now lol.

OK on that note bed night girls
 
night night lol, i got the munchies . . . weetabix it is lol lol lol

keep your chin up hun, if bf stops me from going home then i will revert to pumping and ff like i did with leo for the first month, i will have an answer for everything just try and keep me there longer! go on i dare lol lol lol
 
I too agree with the ladies sequeena...Caleb came home not eaten much and went abut yellowy my sister panicked me as her son was taken back to hospital due to not eating and being yellow so when she saw Caleb she made me feel guilty and scared so I got her to make a bottle for me but I wish I hadnt as every baby is slightly jaundice when born!

Trying to think of a poem to put in with christening invites to say no gifts needed

Also thinking of setting a mother and toddler group as I can't find one and since they might be closing sure start I won't have anywhere to go

Xx
 
I'm doing my invites as well hun, it's a headache organising it actually, what are you doing for the after party?
 
Going to a pub,it has a function room,we're doing our own food! All I have to do is send invites out get food plates etc find cream shoes for both boys and maybe something for me to wear lol! When are you having yours?
X
 
Thank you ladies I feel so much better xx he's managed another 2ml or so of colostrum but got really hungry/angry then some gave him 11mls formula
 
Him don't supplement with formula!! It's so crucial to let them suck so it brings on your milk. I wondered too if Alex was getting enough because all he did was suck and suck and when my milk came in on the forth day he gourged himself and hasnt stopped since! Alex also was yellow but I was told to keep bfing him on demand and it cleared up. You are doing so well! Trust yourself to do what you feel is best :hugs:
 
Good morning.

how are we all:shrug:?

i did an unusual feed at 4.30 and then got up at 6.30, he was a bit on the chilly side though so it could have been that which woke him in the first place.

Bravely i :sex: again last night. took the advice this time and used lube though:blush:. it took the soreness away admittidly, just uncomfortable:nope: this time. I cant wait for it to feel a bit better/ nicer:nope: i was wondering if maybe my cervix gets hit or something like that:nope: because something gets bashed that makes me want to pull away sharply.:nope: To be fair Dh said " we dont have to do this if its painful?" but i admit i said if i dont start now i never will, so unless you want to be celebate for the rest of your life..."
 
I am so exhausted. We've gone from getting up once a night to every one and a half to two hours! He's so fussy. I wonder if it's growing pains.
 
ha ha madcat i know what you mean i was like that after leo, with the section scar it had areally weird pulling sensation, i cant imagine what it is like working up the courage to dtd after pushing a . . what am i now. . .a watermelon out the same hole . . .shudder to think

nomore, best not to think about it!. I lie there thinking the same, a bloody watermelon just came out of there!:wacko:
 
Baileys feet touch the floor now in his jumperoo and god he goes crazy in it, you should see it bouncing/swinging from side to side, quite violently lol:haha: im sure a spring will go one day!
 
Lol you know their heads aren't watermelon sized!!

Sorry if this is teaching grandmothers to suck eggs but Madcat do you know that as a woman gets aroused her cervix lifts higher so he could well be banging on it if you're feeling anxious rather than horny. Lots of foreplay is the answer!

I agree with Ozzie Sequeena, supplementing risks milk supply. My milk actually came a whole day sooner with Indigo than with Byron which I'm sure is down to how much feeding she did. The reason colostrum comes in such small amounts is because that's all babies need. Boobs know better than doctors! Did you get home yet?

I'm well ill. Indigo fed at 2.30 and 4.30 so that was half the feeds of previous night. We didn't wake up til after Byron had breakfast which was 7.45. Both my eyes are now oozing gunk and the infection has descended into my chest. Sigh. I bet this is why Indigo has been feeding so much. She must've been feeling rotten too. She went phlegmy overnight and has two sticky eyes too. :(

We've only the dog to walk til I collect Byron from nursery. Watching Camelot on 4OD. Not all episodes are available. Wish I'd known it was on tv.
 
oh theres noway id try DTD after childbirth without being aroused PB, its a recipie for disaster.:wacko::growlmad:

as for the watermelon thing, yes i knew that, id be extreamly concerned if that was the head!
 
Morning Ladies :wave:

So me....My Sister and Harry came home last night :wohoo: I went to the hospital with my Mum to collect them :happydance: Charlie woke us at 3am :dohh: and we are now back to waking twice in the night for food when we previously slept through for the last 6wks :shrug: We have decided to wean him (shoot me!?!?!?!) and I am taking the boys to a Yogabugs class after lunch ;)

Sequeena hon it does get easier :hugs: try to rest as much as possible and let your OH watch over Thomas :thumbup: I cant really offer anything extra than what the Ladies have already suggested except how important it is to do what you feel comfortable with :thumbup: go with your instincts and dont let anyone else MW,HV or whatever tell you any different :kiss:

NOMORE not long now ;)

:hugs: for feeling crap Tas and Peanut

:hugs: madcat for uncomfy :sex: :( I still feel like this :wacko: all jumpy when it comes to dtd .... I keep hoping it will get better am sure it didnt feel like this for quite so long after having Oliver :dohh:

On the uncomfy note I am still suffering with my lower back/tail bone big time :cry: no sign of that physio appointment yet :nope: last night I realised when sat on the loo blowing my nose :dohh: that the pain radiates from my epidural site :cry: and am now wondering if its like a dodgy nerve or something or the epidural has buggering something up :shrug:
 
im not going to shoot you madly!:haha: i'l prob ween bailey at 4 months too. the colic is rare these days, but the reflux is back and i dont want him on medication for that forever so i think weening is probably the way forward,people can shoot me too anyway as ive already given him a small little taster of mushed up bananna.

Im sorry to hear charlie has stopped sleeping through, i wonder why?

your tailbone sounds terrible hun:cry: i can only sympathise with you after having it so bad in pregnancy, i used to lie on my side(but then my hips would hurt),i used to sit in the garden chair on a pillow shifting side to side every min, basically in a nutshell, couldnt sit(&could lie lol) So i know how horrid it is. I hope they (pardon the pun) get to the bottom of it:dohh: for you soon!:hugs:
 
Oh, wanted to wish Glitz and Noah luck today! They're at Yorkhill! Fx'd for answers!!!
 
Taz, I've hired out the community centre hall, so like you I need to do the food, I cant decide how many to invite, I have a very big family plus friends which could be loads!

Sequeena hope your ok.

Madly, thats great about your sister and nephew :cloud9:

pb I hope you feel better soon hun, its such hard work being a mum when your poorly as well!

madcat, I'm glad your getting your :sex: life back on track. We just have the problem of making time for it, sounds silly but we always seem to have a child in bed with us lol.

ozzie sounds like something, babies go through so many phases, I've given up trying to explain what happens as it changes so much! James slept through, yay! Lottie was up at 4am, but just needed a nappy change and went back to sleep until 7.30 so feeling pretty refreshed!
