Hi everyone i have been far too lazy/busy to keep up with this thread sorry!

Billy only woke up once last night so he slept from 11-3 and from about 3:30-6:30 which was the best nights sleep i've had since before he was born.

I actually weigh less now then i did before i got pregnant but my tummy is still pretty big i can do my jeans up but i have really bad muffin top can't wait till i can start doing proper exercise so i can get my tummy back to normal.

The breast feeding is going well apart from the fact Billy has given me thrush in the nipples and it feels like someone is poking neddles in my boob everytime he latches on.

Billy is getting weighed today by the health visitor so hopefully he is putting on enough weight he feels heavier to me and has grown out of all his newborn clothes now.

I have a second degree tear as well which still hurts a bit but midwife said its because its granulating now the stitches have fallen out .

Hope everyone else is ok and for all the first timers i hope being a mummy is everything you wanted it to be.

hi all,

blake went 7hrs last night and 6hrs night b4!!! i'm soooo glad of this as i have what can only be described as flu! i feel really bad, its not helping that i'm having to get up and get other 2 to school cos of OH working.

 

[amylw1]

There aren't so many left now...tis hard to tell though as some ladies haven't been about in a while hence the mystery mamas list....
Ahhh what will happen to the thread?!?! It would be so weird to lose it...

can we not ask admin IF they can merge it with our "new home"??? i'm sure its possible, OH has done it on forums he has set up.


how many of us "septembryos" are left? even if babies came early or late, we were all meant to be sept! hope everyone is ok and soon has their babies.

blake slept for 7hrs last night and 6hrs the night b4. which is great especially as i have what i can only describe as flu type symptoms.

[amylw1]

Just got Billy weighed and he weighs 12lb 6oz! I was very shocked he is so heavy he's on the 98th percentile but the health visitor said its ok as he was on the 98th percentile when he was born.

 

[first alien]

amy congrats on the good sleeping. x

miss wren i'm taking the approach that my womb is great and that baby has set himself up a great entertainment system which he doesn't want to leave!!!

only one more sleep till induction. really not looking forward to the VE. still sore after the failed sweep on monday.

it would be interesting to know how many of us are left. am i really the last?

 

[firegal]

Rach, how you feeling hun? for your boobs, I really hope it's not mastitis xx

Babiiblu, get well soon!!

Millygirl, I have my teary and overwhelmed moments too... damn hormones I'm sure it's just a phase and you'll be fine once things calm down a bit

Faun, I hope your thrush improves soon, it sounds nasty xx Glad to hear Billy is thriving though!

Amy, get well soon! The sleeping sounds great though, can't wait for that.

[first alien]

just sat thinking and it occured to me that i have been able to keep my wedding and engagement ring on my finger for the whole duration of my pregnancy and am really chuffed about it! always thought i would have to stop wearing them as i was always told that everyone ended up doing this!

yeay for me!

Hi everyone!! So Joe got weighed today and is now 8lb 13!! He was 7lb 10 when he was born and considering he feeds so much (6oz every 3-4 hours!!! ), we expected him to be much more!! But all is good, the Health visitor was happy with that so he doesn't get weighed again for a month - seems like ages away seeing as he's just over 3 weeks old!!

Apart from that, we're good. Joe is going backward in the routine thing lol!! He changes from sleeping through for 5 hours at night to being awake for upto 16 hours I need to start catching up on sleep in the day now as I'm walking around like a zombie

Any tips or advice on how to get him into a routine?? xx

 

[amylw1]

i managed to keep all my rings on with middle son, and i only removed them 2weeks b4 blake arrived as fingers swelled. most ppl have to take them off.

Yay!! I had to take mine off and they still don't fit now!!

Think I'll have to have them made bigger to get them back on

Forgot to add to my post earlier, when I went to the clinic to get Joe weighed today the other mum's with babies looked as slim as supermodels!! I'm still carrying 1 and a half stone of extra weight and feeling bad now that I haven't lost anymore since the birth....But I did have a c-section so can't exercise but maybe should be eating abit better

 

[pinkbow]

vicks - i wouldnt worry ive seen so many mums who are soo skinny but just think they are prob dieting like crazy and being silly...or even did that while preg...which is silly!!

i bet u look lovely and dont think about dieting/exercise yet...just focus on healing and looking after joe and it will fall off...well thats what every1s telling me as im majorly sad about my saggy belly...i had such a lovely flat stomach before...ah well i have my gorgeous boy becouse of it ! lol

tho xx

Ah, thanks Rach!! Am so paranoid about the extra weight as I'm still in maternity clothes
Just keep reading on here about people being back to their pre-pregnancy weight and am a little jealous Feels like it's never going to happen!
