Are you not wanting anymore cat? Xx

Tas in the last 3 months i was in so much pain, personally i felt i had the labour from hell and a bit like peanut issues with healing for sometime that really , no, i dont want anymore. But to be honest having one baby was only ever in our plans anyway!. Glad you got your 1st AF out of the way, i think i'll be on the pill before mine arrives!


My Belly button hurts!. its been tender since delivery, but ive been bending over&letting my belt cut in, its made it worse.anyone else belly button been tender?

Well, we're going to buy a travel cot from kiddicare. After him being squished up with his nose against the side of his basket i keep more of an eye on him, he's ok for now, but we talked about it and i still dont want him in his own room yet, so we're going to get a travel cot for our room&mattress.

aww mad cat, watch out on that belly button as you pushed for awhile itsdead easy to get an umbilical hernia,if its red or purple get it looked.

my ticker is actually to christmas day which would be 2 years from ttc abby so will get the coil i'm having fitted removed around then I expect.i'm getting all the swabs and eugh first smear done on the 14th.

well we tried topping up through the evening she weirdly needed 4oz after a long feed from 3.30pm then only took another 3oz total through the night. she def doesn't like c&g hungry baby so sticking to sma and using it sparingly. so after a 9pm feed and bath took an hour in total ( she slept 6 -8.45pm) she went down woke after half an hour screaming tried new food nah 20mls if i was lucky, went back to sleep within half an hour slept til 1am. pants boob feed though got a lot off tried again with new food 1 oz later she refused offer sma and slatall over me and her. she then took 1oz of sma sleepy baby back to bed til 5 boob juice and 1oz sma and slept til 10.15. sonot needing to supplement as muchas i thought at all. the break is giving my boobs thechanse to really fill upso she can quench her thirst. I'm generally very pleased as we both sleptand shes been relaxed and snoozy today. but putting her self to sleep

Hi everyone!
Last night teagan went to be at 10pm and didn't wake til 4.30am,Had a feed and went back down til 9am
Would be absolutely wonderful if she was my only child,as the other 2 were up at 7am,but still,she's getting into the swing of things!
I lay in til 9,dh got up with the boys.Had a quick shower and breakfast and headed into town all on my own
It was heavenly!Got a lovely maxi dress for my big night out next wk,some bits and bobs from boots,some clothes for the boys in the mothercare sale,loads of stuff 50% offand shays wee trousers and shirts for his school uniform
It was a lovely couple of hours walking about town without pushing a buggy!

Gonna bring my boys to the cinema tomorrow to see kung fu panda 2,it'll be orans 1st cinema trip,hope he behaves.So me and the boys will have some time without teagan,and teagan can have some quality time with her daddy!

I've been crampy for the last wk or so,keep expecting af to show at any minute.Knowing my luck she'll rear her ugly head nxt wk end for my night away

 

[vbaby3]

Glad everyone else seems to have had ok nights last night!
Teagan has another cold,all snots and bunged again.Courtesy of oran I'm sure,I've caught him a few times in the last few days with his finger in her mouthI think he took a notion to see what her gums felt like or something.
At least school is finished for now,so hopefully the end of the colds for the summer

[DaretoDream]

Madcat hernia is a possibility. I think you should notice a bulge. It could also just be separated muscles. Some is normal and they come apart most at the belly button. It could be the scar tissue forming. Exercises are to do stomach crunches, just lifting to the shoulders, not situps. You need to do sideways ones too where you move to opposite knees so you roll on to your shoulder blade. These draw the muscles together.

We're home. It's chaos. Proper update later sometime!

Went out for a walk today and Alex slept the whole time. He is def a cuddler and doesn't like his basket much. Any advice? He'll feed and fall asleep but the minute he's in his basket, he wakes up.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

day.from.hell. - well not quite but at times wanted to just run down the street screaming
in brief

took 3.5 hours to fall asleep last night, 1.30 am. 1.45am dh comes home from work switches on all the living room lights blinding me and then starts pressing his key finder which is bloody loud to find his keys which just so happened to be under my head
2 hours laterone of which involved a lot of crying ifinally fell asleep until 8

wake up feel like crap

leo isin a bad mood and has started the slapping game again

the wasp nest i found decided to erupt with wasps the last few days and despite having all the windows shut they are still getting in

this morning i was putting on make up and found 2 in my hair! my freaking hair!

after chundering for the majority of the day and bursting all the blood vessels in my face and eyes leo and i decide to have a fun indoor picnic with his lunchbox to encourage him to eat better he picks up a piece of black fluff out of his lunch box. no it was not a bit of fluff it was another fecking wasp. the look on his face when he got stung will stay with me forever poor mite

little bit more chundering and a weepy weepy bedtime i am now here . . . . . .

tomorrow has GOT to be better .. . . .

aw madcat i totally understand how you feel about not wanting another, in my heart i want 3 in total but this pregnancy has been so bad coupled with my mental and emotional birth trauma and complete fear of birth i just do not think i could put myself through it . . . it might be different in a few years which i when i originally planned to have my last, i love having a brother 5 years younger than me so well in 4 years leo will be at school the other at nursery so might be able to handle things a bit better ie afternoon naps! could you imagine! but at the moment i am very much happy with my boy and bump that i have now

 

[madcatwoman]

Nice to see you back peanut

erm, dont think its a hernia, as i dont feel any bulge sticking out, its just tender!, i'll need to do some exercises i think!!

 

[molly85]

abby can be like this, shes rather attachrd to a muslin so i put her head on one and the one she cuddles both smell ofme and her. i also put her down in the position she fell asleep in if its on her front so be it. another thing is make u hes well out of it, i find abby goes all floppy and she should go down ok. she may wake 10 minutes later but she probwould wake anyway

 

[Sofiekirsten]

Nomore - Hope tomorrow is a better day!

Peanut - Nice to see you back!

Ozzie - Jacob is the same. I sometimes just leave him to cry in his basket and he wear's himself out eventually

Went out today with my mum and Jacob bought some new clothes and I am proud to say I am back into my size 10 jeans and I have just weighed myself and I am lighter now than pre-pregnancy!

Pre-Pregnancy - 8 1/2 Stone
Now - 7.9 Stone!



Although I have a very flabby belly

Also went to a baby shop and got a lovely keepsake box and some new bibs which say 'If Mummy say's no....Ask Daddy!'

And I picked up my eternity ring today aswell! I love it, looks lush!

Hope everyone else had a good day!

Hi girls :wave: sorry I've been MIA

Nomore sorry for crappy sleeps and wasps. I hate them, I'm actually terrified of them which is pathetic I know hope things are a bit better now

Ozzie try putting Alex in the basket before he is sleeping that way he can learn to put himself to sleep there. Noah is the same if you put him in his basket or crib sleeping he wakes up and whinged or crys. If I put him down sleepy but awake and he goes to sleep himself he's fine.

Cat sorry your belly button is sore. No advice sadly other than if it continues maybe get it looked at.

I've noticed my scar has started hurting a lot again this week. I dont know if various organs/muscles/etc are on the move inside again causing it to hurt.

As for Noah, we saw our gp on friday, she agreed the paediatrician is a useless ass she upped his meds which she says should have standard practice by the paediatrician on Tuesday as Noah has gained two pounds since the dosages were calculated. She has also referred us to a different paediatrician who specialises in infant stomach problems so hopefully things will be dealt with properly now. Need to wait another few days to see if the increased meds will settle things.

So far he's been more settled after his bath so sleeping from 7:30 to 12 but once the reflux wakes him you can't get him back down as he needs fed at that point and that in turn produces more acid so the reflux is worse.

The best thing that could happen for Noah right now would be him deciding he didn't need night feeds anymore. Acid production is worse at nights as we don't produce as much saliva during the night to water it down and of course eating produces more acid. If he didn't need to eat he'd have less acid. I unfortunately think we are a while away from him not needing fed during the night.

Hope everyone else is well

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I'm taking badly to him crying He's feeding a lot lol during the day, but I don't mind as long as he sleeps the longer stretches at night. He'll feed for like 3 hours straight and then sleep. It's slightly exhausting though.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

wow sk! hoping the new baby starvation diet will work for me lol as long as i fill the fridge with healthy cant eat no time snacks then hoping i lose a semi decent amount of weight before the ridiculously close wedding i am going to . . . it is 6 weeks after my potential birth week so am thinking just really start to watch what i eat, the sickness is so much worse when i have a few days where i eat badly, so eat a lot healthier than i am at the moment and just make sure i continue that plus maybe from 4 weeks do a little bit of exercise and fingers crossed . . . if i lose 3/4 stone in those weeks i will be really please with myself! i was overweight too before i got pregnant by about 6 pounds so fingers crossed by the time christmas comes i will look like a christmas cracker lol lol lol lol ah would be so good to hug my hubby and have all my body against him other than the widest part of my belly lol lol lol

gilz i am terrified of them for the reason that i got a thumb sting a few years back too! all because my family wanted me to get the tinsel out of the box because you guessed it at the time i was the only one not afraid of wasps!

leos face when i stamped on the thing shouting you die! die now! grrr! stinging my boy! grrrr!

so good that you have finally got someone who knows what they are doing re medications! it is amazing how common it is that people are left in the hands of people that do not really know what they are doing! i understand it is a specialism but geez why not refer much earlier! or even just refer to a more qualified person! grrr

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

wow ozzie! he is a booby hog isnt he! 3hours! xkx

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Oh yes, he is def a boobie man, lol!!

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

ha ha ha! will be interesting to see if later in life! they always say that boys that are not breast fed develop a much larger fascination with boobs lol your boy could well prove them wrong lol lol lol bless him! so fantastic that he is feeding so well!
