I scheduled my surgery for my umbilical hernia on aug 12th. I'm feeling very nervous. I have never had surgery before :( I think I'm more afraid of the anesthesia.
 
Feeling nervous is very normal...i've had a few surgeries now due to difficulties conceiving and to be honest the anesthesia isnt that bad. they will probably give you something first to relax you and tell you that you are going to feel drwosy..then they may ask you to count back wards from 100 or something...I had one dr ask me if I wanted to hear a joke to relax me.. i agreed and i all i got through was...have you heard the one about...still bothers me to this day that i never heard the joke lol.

We were at carson 4 month appt today..he got his needles :( he's been sleeping in his car seat since we got home..which is strange for him because he never stays sleeping in it once the car stops.

Carson has also went from sleeping through the night to waking up several times a night starved!! I asked the dr about starting solids ( rice cereal) and initially she told me to wait to 6 months.. until i told her about his waking pattern then she said 5 months.. Do you ladies think i could start earlier?
 
Aww jm good luck for surgery! Iv never had general anaesthetic it scares me too. :hugs:

skeet i bet that dr doesnt even have an end to his joke cos no-one ever remembers haha :dohh:
dont ask that uestion in the weaning forum u will bve eaten alive :haha: i think it is best to wait, but i started around 5 and a half months, maybe try to wait till 5 if u can. Hipp formula does a 'bedtime milk' which maybe u cud try? I think it has rice cereal in tho so not sure if that would count as weaning even tho its milk.
 
Thanks for the warning Jo!! I'm going to try to wait and I'm hoping all this waking up is just a stage and he's just getting used to not being swaddled and being in his own room.

Lol your probably right.. There probably isn't an end to that joke!
 
good luck with your operation JM, im sure it will be over before you know it!

Skeet we started just after 4 months on solids, Little miss was a very big girl and showing all the signs of wanting to eat and we never looked back..
My gp recommended we start so i guess we just didnt think about it.. i know alot of people are very strict with waiting till 6 months but every bay is so different

Any news Army?!!

Well i have been having scans fortnightly to check for twin to twin transfusion syndrome, all has been good except last week she said the fluid levels were a little different between the 2 sacs, so she has me in again tomorrow to double check.. bubs were still growing at the same rate but she said that sometimes the differing fluid levels were an indicator or TTTS.
Fingers crossed its all good..
 
Oh rose fingers crossed!! Ill pray that it's all good for you!!!
 
Thanks ladies! Makes me feel better hearing it sweet comments :)

I started Everlee on cereal at 4 months because that what my Dr. Advises. She has u start early as practice because they really don't get much in their mout at first. Then we started vege baby food at 5 months and then by 6 months she was eating 3 times a day veges and fruit :) Everlee did great with it.

Aw hope all goes well with ur scan Rosa!
 
thanks ladies, they did say that it can be normal for the fluid to be slightly different as long as it doesnt get any worse.. so lots of scans for now :)
 
Well, i had my scan today and they confirmed that the twins do have stage 1 of TTTS.
So will be scanned at least weekly at the moment to confirm it doesnt get any worse. If it gets to stage 2 they will send me to sydney to have laser surgery done to seperate vessels in the placenta.
Feeling a bit stressed out about it all but hoping it doesnt preogress.
 
Rosa, I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope that it doesn't progress. I'm thinking of you x
 
Oh rose!! So sorry to hear!! Ill pray that it doesn't get any worse.. You must be so stressed :hugs:
 
I still have to go back and read all the posts but as for an update...

I am four days from testing but most of my symptoms have faded a little. I had a doctors appointment Monday for something else and I brought it up and he said that it could be pregnancy but it could also be ovulation while breastfeeding. The hormone war that is going on during that is epic! lol. I will let you all know as soon as I test. I promised hubby I would wait :(
 
Praying for you and the little ones Rosa!!

Skeet we didn't give Laila a solid till 5 1/2 months and it was mostly played with rather than consumed. They have done a bunch of studies and really have pushed holding off food till they are 6 months or older. We clearly didn't follow that. The sleep/hunger issue at that age was something we went through too. I just assumed it was a growth spurt and dealt with nursing her more. If you want to hold off on food a little longer you could try dream feeding him or trying to get him to eat twice before bed.

I will share this with you. My daughter has gone from sleeping through the night, to waking up once, to waking up 5 times, back to sleeping through the night, back to once a night, back to sleeping through, back to every single hour, back to sleeping through. They just follow a growth and development pattern and we have just had to wait it out. She actually slept worse at 9 months than she ever did the months before that. I got more sleep when she was a newborn! lol Shes coming out of it now though. So if you ever feel hopeless know your not alone. I had a couple hopeless nights recently (hence why I was away so long).
 
We started Will on solids just after 5 months because he was showing all the signs (interested in what we were eating etc). He took to it straight away.

They go through growth spurts, developmental leaps and teething can cause sleeping problems. It's usually a phase and generally sticking it out sees them back to normal. I'm concious of noting how long ea h phase goes on for, growth spurts shouldn't really be weeks so I make sure waking up for a bottle doesn't become habitual.
 
Thanks for the thoughts ladies, will update you all after the next scan next week..

Naw, sorry Armywife, fingers crossed for next cycle xx

I appreciate that. We both talked and I want to start when she is one but he wants to wait a little longer so we are going to talk about it more in the coming months.

Im not even sure if I am having a full period now. It's not like ones in the past, granted its my first, its not heavy like it normally is for the first day and for what I was expecting since its been so long since I had one. But cramping still so might be slow to start.
 
So far its been a one day period... weird... breastfeeding hormones are screwing with me.
 
Lots of hugs to u rosa :hugs: i hope the TTS doesnt progress.. Just rest up and take it easy. At least u will have plently of scans to put ur mind at rest.

Sorry its not your month armywife... Did u test anyway? 1 day bleed cud be implntation but bit late maybe?
