The official cerazette missing period support thread!! *NAME CHANGE*

[annanouska]

Betty Little bean does weird movements too- sometimes it feels like its got flippers and swimming with flippers lol.

honey hope the christening is wonderful im sure it will be

hay- thanks for info on the cough! its slowly getting better but night times are the worst. im so sore all over now from the coughing just wnat it to go away!!

samie-made me laugh about you being my MW- I would need somebody like you but no tooooo mean il start crying lol! is it really cruel that I chuckled at you dunking sophia? just giggled as its something I would do!

hope everyone else is doing well. ive decided to go to the party still feel rubbish but cant pass up a night away!! even if i just go for a few hours sure itl b ok- i dont really know anyone as all DH work people but il see how I do!

can I ask for some advice from those whose bundles are already here?

1. that monitor abbi has that samie posted on looks fab! ive put that on the list!!

2. anyone using a nappy disposal system? if so which one are they good? if not are you ust trudging outside after each change? ive seem on amazon the angelcare nappy disposal system which had really great reviews and good price too.

3. forgive me
for being thick but i just sort of thought baby could sleep in cot during day if i was say doing laundry or something (obviously with amonitor and i would check on them) but from what I understand you should bring them downstairs with you so thats ok but what do i do with them LOL should i get a moses basket for downstairs or a travel cot or what? i dont know what they sleep in when they are down with you! do they sleep in those bouncers or are they just for short times? i am just trying to find out what i need to put on my spreadsheet!

4.long car journeys-my friend told me baby can only be in car seat for max 2 hours as it mangles the spine so how do you go on a long journey (visiting fmaily etc) do you stop every two hours and lift them out for a few mins or what?

sorry these sound really silly things and i probalby should know them!!! cant ask MIL as she is still for baby sleeping in a drawer downstairs like they did in her day! xxxxx

Anna will try to answer a few while I wait for my visitors
That monitor Abbi has does look nifty but with the way you worry I would not recommend it as you will forever be expecting it to go off. You wont sleep as deeply when you have had bezn anyway so you will prob hear changes in breathing.
My friend always put her baby down for a nap upstairs with a normal sound monitor while she did chores, I used a moses basket and now Im using the carrycot part of the buggy coz it hasnt had any use
Dont use a nappy disposal, with 4 kids stuff everywhere no room for unnecessary things but if you like the look of them go for it as they arent expensive now, saw them on offer in tesco and asda.
Long car journeys, all my kids have gone to germany and back at least once a year in their car seats so have been in them for 8hrs sleeping then out for a feed and back in. All their spines are perfect.
Never feel silly bout asking questions, we can all offer advice but at the end of the day whatever you decide is best for your baby will be right as you know best

 

[Samie18]

Anna....i laughed the day later when i got over the shock lol.
And i wouldnt be mean dont like crying...you will prob turn in to a completly different person and find strength you didnt realise you had!

I looked at the nappy disposal system but the refills were dearer than the main body! We just put them in a nappy sack as the poo doesnt smell. When she is eating solids and they stink i'll put them in a nappy bag and into the mini bin we have outside the patio which is for the cat poo then it all gets emptied into the main bin every few days.

If you can get baby into the habit of sleeping in the cot straight away that would be fine. Sophia slept in her bouncer for about 5 weeks during the day or on me, she slept in her moses basket about 2 times!! After 5 weeks she only slept on me no matter how hard we tried. We bought a crib because we thought she just didn't like her basket as she couldn't see but nope that didnt work! At about 8 weeks she started to go down in the bed with us so we co slept for about 4 weeks, although i kept trying her in her crib but she wouldn't stay asleep. Then at about 12 weeks she started sleeping in her crib for about 5 hrs then she would wake for her feed then go back to sleep in our bed. Then finally the last week or two she goes in her crib about 9:30pm and stays there until anywhere between 6-9 wahoooooo.
So long reply but my point is don't try too hard to plan because these babies have their own mind and routine!

Dunno about the car seat for journeys....wasn't even something i thought about!
Anyway we have driven to Manchester 3 times since she was born roughly a 4 1/2hr journey and she wakes once during the journey for a feed so we stop to feed her otherwise she pretty much sleeps the whole time. We first took her at 6 weeks old and she travels fine!

And can't really comment on the monitor as we only received it today so will try it tonight.
I looked into the BT Pacifier because that looks good but decided on the Angelcare because i'm so scared of cot death.... but i do think i'll go crazy with it but at the same time i wouldn't forgive myself if something happened and it could have been prevented.....but then you gotta think why would anything happen, we don't smoke or drink, she wasn't prem, she sleeps with feet at the bottom with covers under her arms and the room temp is fine buttttt i'm terrible for if only and SIDS peaks about 4 months and she's coming up to that so thats my reasoning. When shes bigger i'll prob get the BT pacifier.

Thanks Betty and Samie but the pain seems to have subsided a lot. Yes Anna it feels exactly as you described it!!

My bbs are still getting bigger and very sore and I seem to have grown hips overnight!! I'm a size 16 normally but round rather than curvy lol.

 

[AmeliaLily]

And also I phoned my doctors surgery and they said I don't need to make an appointment with them I just need to call in and get a list of midwives so i did that and got an appt for when I'm 8 weeks cos that is what they said to do. Seems a bit far away to me!!

 

[Samie18]

glad the pain eased! 8 weeks with the midwife is normal, they don't like booking you in earlier as some people have barely missed a period before there in and its pointless as miscarriage rate Is higher earlier.

Samie - I know what you mean about SIDS, it is so terrifying! The snuza is great, I won't sleep myself unless he has it on, I even use it when he is in his car seat so it was a great buy! The angelcare is fab too though, I will use that once he is in his own room definately. The only thing that is annoying is that if you take lo out of the cot you have to turn it off to stop the alarm going off and them remember to turn it back on again! It is so sensitive though - a great piece of kit! Let me know what you think of it!

Anna - I have two monitors. One is called the snuza halo and it clips onto the nappy to detect breathing. They have recently brought out a slightly cheaper one called the snuza go which is just missing the vibration feature to rouse the baby if breathing slows. It's great as it can be used anywhere, if baby is in the car seat, his/her own bed, your bed - anywhere! I also have the angel care which is a sensor under the baby's matress. It can only be used in lo's bed but it works brilliantly! Like Honey said though - you don't want to cause more worry for yourself. Personally, I find it eliviates a lot of my worries but everyone is different and you don't want to be checking it every five minutes as that will just stress you out more! As for the sleeping, I have Jake sleep in his bouncer, his baby swing or Moses basket when I am busy doing things. You don't need all those things but I have just accumulated them! They are all fine for daytime naps although you may want to teach lo to be in the cot early on. I personally am not happy for him to be that far from me just yet but I am a bit crazy with the over - protectiveness! Haha! Don't bother with the disposal system! Definately no need!

[AmeliaLily]

Aw Abbi, Jake is so cute in your profile pic!!

Thanks for the info Samie. Also do people generally have partners with them at the first midwife visit or not?

 

[Samie18]

Yeah most do....that's if they have one or even know who the dad is lol

 

[Abbi808]

Thanks Amelia - I need to change it for more recent one as he is only a few weeks old there! Glad you are feeling better, I saw my MW at 8 weeks too, that is the norm!

Is is honey (Ollie) who is having the christening today? Want to send lots of luck! Looking forward to the pictures!

Xx

 

[betty14]

Work flew yesterday so that was good. Been tring think what I can get for the children's room. I definately need 2 quilts and some sticky plastic to cover wardrobe. I need to sort PayPal out so I can use eBay to make things cheaper. Asda have a cheap set of chest of drawers so will get 2 and decorate them I think . Think I need about £100 and it should cover everything . Can't wait to get started roll on payday x x
Hope everyones having a good weekend x x

Went a few weeks ago and she said to wait and see if AF arrives as I was never regular before and then having been on cerazette for 5 years. If I still don't get AF by end of the month then I'll go see her again x

 

[betty14]

I definitely would, it's awful to say but if you bug her she will most likely start running tests etc! X x x

 

[annanouska]

go bug the dr nexis most certainly! if you had issues before the pill its likely the pill has just been masking htem so should check you over.

glad amelia is feeling better-they may come back at times just keep an eye out! ive had so many weird and wonderful 'issues' and have had a panic over them all and still do! im really trying now to relax a little.

can you believe im still ill!!!!! im lots better though so can go back to work tomorrow just got to remember to hold my stomach and cross my legs when i cough lol

party was quite good and the night away was brill apart form being normally spoilt in a large kingsize bed the double felt small! hubby rolled o to his back in the night so i didnt have much room and woke up thinking my stomach hurts a bit-bump had fallen off the bed ! lol atleast i didnt fall out too!

Little bean had a real good boogie at the party danced about all night! having a quiet day today to catch up i think hehehe.

hope the christening is ok and the bumps (Pink, Betty AND Amelia! ) and the babies are all well xxxxx

 

[Samie18]

I'd pester the doc too nexis.....af seems to take ages after Cerazette for those who had irregularities before.

Hope the christening was fab!

Glad you enjoyed the party Anna and glad your feeling a bit better

Thanks girls I wish I'd known before going on cerazette that having already had problems that it might add to it.

 

[AmeliaLily]

Hi everyone,

Sorry to hear you had a neg Nexis, I'd definitely go and bug the doctors!! It won't hurt and might make them hurry up!
Anna thanks!! It still feels weird to be part of the pregnant ladies! Still hasn't sunk in. I went to mothercare today to buy a sleep bra and it felt very weird!!

Hope everyone else is ok?

Oh and can anyone tell me how to do a ticker for bottom of posts?
