Praying for a 2012 BFP and 2013 Baby!!!

[30mummyof1]

Yes af arrived on sat, only lasted till yesterday though but was far more than spotting so must have been it! Back on pill now
ooo your naughty girl! Just remember you are extra fertile in the months following birth but if your ok with having another thats cool! I'm looking forward to enjoying the summer this year, bbq and drinks!

Poppy's doing well with her sleep Boys are good, Thomas is much better at doing no'2 's in potty now. Waiting for Harry's 1st tooth to appear. He's been teething on and off for over a month now, bless him. Weighed last week, 15lb 13 almost 2lb behind Thomas now at same age!

Night out for me on friday, looking forward to it but not my head on sat

OMG AS I am so so sorry I don't know what to say but I know nothing I say would help anyway as I could never understand what you are going through

As for me, baby was up the majority of the night last night, very stuffy, had to go buy a smaller aspirator as the one the hospital gave me barely goes into his nose and wasn't helping. My mom came over to let me sleep- I didn't set an alarm, I said, screw it, my body will wake up when its ready, and I slept a solid 4 hours. I feel so much better though!

Just wanted to share some good news. my friend that is having ivf- they managed to get 5 eggs and 4 have fertilised. Having 2 put in on friday and saving 2 for later.
and just bagged myself some tickets for the olympics- just qualification round for gymlastics but least i can say i've been there and done it when they were in our country!

30 since you have boys... how the heck do I not get my son to pee above his diaper and into his clothes? All night last night I was changing onesies because he wasn't peeing in his diaper. I even made sure his little thingie was tucked DOWN and still somehow he's peeing up his diaper and into his clothes and bedding. I wasn't tucking down the front flap anymore because his umbilical cord came off but some people have said I need to keep doing that and it works as a barrier for the pee. I also don't think I'm putting the diaper on tight enough as well, I'm worried about hurting him! Cause he also has a pretty bad diaper rash and I feel bad enough for that

 

[30mummyof1]

Kendra..um never had that problem with either of mine sorry but might be worth trying a different brand? I know some diapers don't work for some babies and yes maybe its not tight enough..he'd let you know if it was too tight.
Do you have sudocreme over there, thats always worked for me

 

[KendraNoell]

I don't know what that is we have what's called "butt paste" and Desitin for diaper rash, that thick white cream. I think its probably the same thing How long does it take to go away? He's had it since yesterday morning and I've been putting it on him every time I change him.

 

[30mummyof1]

Yeah sudocreme is thick and white too so probably very similar. Depends how bad it is, mine only had a mild rash so couple of days.

 

[Flowerbaby]

Hi girls, how are we all?xx

Im fed up today, thought my af had gone away after 10 days of it but it seems to be rearing its ugly head again today? So am not sure what that is all about, it was down to spotting and i thought i wouldnt need to even put a pantyliner in my pants today but its back red again (sorry tmi)....so im off to the doctors tomorrow to find out what is going on. After what you went through with bleeding Rach i thought i best get myself checked out. Im almost certain this has been my af as its been so bloody heavy and clotty as i was told too expect, i just cant understand why its starting again? Better too be safe than sorry i say, no doubt i will get told too just wait it out and see what happens!

Were you bleeding red everyday Rach when you had retained placenta? I did stop bleeding all together for around a week before my af started, but im wondering now if that is what it has been?

 

[30mummyof1]

Don't want to scare you but mine kept starting and stopping hun, looking like it was going away and then it would come back red. However a day or 2 was the longest between bleeds and you had a week so hopefully its nothing serious but defo get checked out. x Let me know how you get on x

 

[KendraNoell]

My Dr said it could be up to six weeks of bleeding, and when you're being more active you're going to bleed more. I hope it's normal Claire and everything is ok

30- the Dr gave Jackson a compound cream for his diaper rash yesterday. It looks like vaseline and already after less than a day I can see a huge difference in the redness and swelling. I think it has some aquaphor in it so the urine doesn't touch it which is probably what's helping. I had some ladies tell me I need to feed him plain water because it will dilute the urine but the pediatrician did not say anything like that and I know people's advice is meant to be in the best way but I feed 1/2 formula and 1/2 BF so I know he's getting a decent amount of fluids that using water isn't really going to help?

Anyway, he was 11 days old yesterday and was in for his 2 week check up. He is already back over birth weight, at 6 lbs 14.5 ounces! They were really happy with his weight gain. He is still in the lower percentiles for weight and head circumference but right there in the middle at length. His head is still molding because his cone head was so severe so it will take a while for that to get right again.

One thing I am so irritated about is the price for circumcision. $280 dollars?! It's ridiculous that it's not considered a necessary medical procedure and now its considered a cosmetic procedure when IMO it ups the chances of infections and things like that by having the extra skin there? But with hubby not working and I'm not working we can't afford that I don't know what to do, they said we should be able to wait until the 2 month mark before doing it but I am worried we still won't have money by then either.

 

[Flowerbaby]

So glad little Jackson is doing so well Kendra! Wow that is so expensive for cirumsision! Not sure what happens over here with that and whether we cud get it done on the NHS? Poppy had a really sore bum too start with and I used sudocrem and it cleared it up in 24 hours, hope Jacksons clears up soon xx

Will let you know how I get on Rach, had period pains tonight so I just don't know? Its gone like ewcm mixed with blood now??? WTF is goin on! Aarghh! I just want my body back! Think I'm gona get myself put on pill while I'm there as I'm defo not ready for another til nxt year, I want too enjoy this summer too hun! Think I will come off it when I go back too work in Feb nxt year and TTC from then. Xx

 

[30mummyof1]

Think we'd only get it on the nhs if it was deemed necessary so its not that common here. Neither my oh or boys have had it done.

I think your be ok Claire, as you had a cs so you'd like to think they could have seen it had all been removed but still get checked hun. Yes mine was like that, not proper blood as such more mucusy as times..yuk!

Yes bring on the summer..few drinks in the sun I'm out tonight, although weather not looking particurly special today. Love it when you can have a few drinks early evening when its still warm

 

[Flowerbaby]

Hope you have a fab night Rach! Im out tomorrow night with DH at an engagement party. We went out last sunday for a few whilst parents had Poppy overnight and i overindulged and have paid for it since so i only intend on having a couple tomorrow night, i cant do night feeds with a hangover its not much fun! lol!

Well i went to the doctors and she seems to think it is my af but as it is going on so long then it may be something else, so she has given me antibiotics too rule out any infection in my womb (although the blood isnt smelly, sorry tmi, yuk) and also if the bleeding hasnt subsided by next week then i will go for a scan too rule out any leftover placenta, but she said the same as you Rach and it would be highly unlikely that it would be this after a CS but knowing my bloody luck it could well be! So we shall see what happens over next few days. She was really nice doctor, i normally get the miserable blokes!

 

[Flowerbaby]

Oh and i got my contraceptive pills! yaaayyy!!! No pully outsys anymore! She tried to talk me into getting the implant or the coil but i said NO! Its easier too come off the pill than it is too get implants and coils removed so i dont want any hassle come this time next year! lol!

 

[30mummyof1]

Thanks hun, expect i will be paying for it tomorrow too!

Yes thought she might give you the antibiotics, i had them too even though no signs of infection Hope your ok x

Yeah i've got my fave doctors sorted now, this young guy who's great with the boys and a lady doc for me!

 

[30mummyof1]

yes they seem pretty keen on get everyone on those these days, probably cheaper long run for them or something knowing the nhs!

 

[30mummyof1]

Right better go and get my gladrags on! then pour myself a bacardi and coke!

 

[Flowerbaby]

Enjoy your night Rach, mmmm...a bacardi and coke sounds fab! think i might have a couple of them tomorrow night! Yes she did say that the NHS dont like putting you on the pill these days as its much cheaper for them to give you coil or implant! LOL! typical NHS! Yes i will defo be going back too same doc from now on, she was great! Let me know how your night goes! I take it OH is babysitting? He's very good isnt he, my DH would tell me to take a run and jump if i asked him too babysit, good job ive got great parents and in-laws! Have fun babes xxxx
