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

I get raised BP on the combined pill so cant have it. No idea why they stopped femulen was a bit peeved but would rather take nothing. Still dont want a 2nd but have major guilt about making her an only child but I dunno. I'd rather just get pregnant or have my uterus taken then the decision is gone
 
Aww Samie, don't feel guilty! Is it just the bad pregnancy/birth that makes you say you don't want another one?

Thanks Sinn :)
 
Samie I'm on the fence, I always thought I'd have 2 but now we have Daisy I don't know if I want more, I loved being pregnant and labour wasnt traumatic or anything I just not sure if I want more or wether we should give our all to just her..... But then I think how close I am to my sister..... Argh it's hard huh!

Never say never I think!

horrible pregnancy. sick everyday from beginning to end including 30 mins before birth. I was 18lb lighter by the end (best diet I've ever had) I got pre eclampsia so will likely get it again.
she was a difficult baby. she got colic and reflux. she never napped, never slept anywhere but on me or the car seat for about 7 months. Then I fought and fought to get her to sleep in her cot and finally won after weeks of many tears from us both.
but now she is such an adorable little girl so much fun so much personality just beautiful and my world so I'm now scared because I dont want to share her with another child. What if another one isn't like her what if i dont like it, she would always be my favorite. I want to give her the world rather than be a struggling parent to 2. But then I have a bro and we had a fab childhood so is it unfair to leave her alone....
it's such a horrible dilemma!
 
Aww Samie, I can understand how you feel! My friend had a horrible first pregnancy. She had hypermesis gravidariim (sp?) and lost so much weight by the time bubs was born. She was also in the same dilemma. She didn't want her son to be an only child, but equally was terrified of a terrible pregnancy and lack of sleep. Her second pregnancy was a breeze and labour was a lot easier too.

I know it doesn't mean much but all pregnancies are different. And while you could have a terrible pregnancy again, chances are you won't and the pregnancy will be a lot easier. As for having a preference over a child, I can't really speak about that. It's possible you may have a preference, based on how similar your personalities are, you will not love one child more or less than the other. But at the end of the day, you have to feel happy and comfortable having a second child, and no one can make you have one.

Personally, i would want two kids, and would consider three if I could be a stay at home mum, that way I would be sure I could devote time to each child alone as well as doing group activities.

Try not to let it stress you out. All babies are different. I didn't sleep through the night until I was 3 (although I didn't cry too much), where as my sister slept well from the beginning!
 
Lovely photos diddums!! :-))

Samie how far in advance of ovulation do you abstain? Also if you do have another I'm sure you'll love he/she just as much as Sophia.

I'm thinking of trying the natural methods if I come off cerazette. I'm only on it as the normal pill makes my boobs sooooo sore and cerazette makes my periods few and far between which is good.

Betty I always imagined you would have about 4 or 5 kids once you'd started!
 
Samie I agree I think you will love any more just as much, also you have experience now :)

Amelia really!?! Do come across as very mumsy? I think big families are lovely but we couldn't afford any more than 2 I don't think! After 2 everything has to be upsized huh!

Anyone got experience of their little peeps having night terrors? I think Daisy is ATM it's breaking my heart :(

Morning,

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend - I haven't had chance to come on here again since I last posted - just been reading everything.

I always wanted at least 2 kids, its strange though because now I have Aaron I don't think I want to stop at 2 I would like 3 or 4!! I must be crazy but can't help how I feel he has changed my life so much I love watching him grow and learning so much its hilarious we can have a full blown conversation with him now and he's only 18 months his speech is brilliant and he's so funny - he adores other children so much that I know it will shape him strongly having brothers or sisters around.

He loves his little friends at nursery and all the little ones I met on maternity leave plus he has lots of cousins which he adores. I know more kids will be tough but it excites me bring it on!!

We have been using the 'natural' method but I didn't get periods back for ages with breastfeeding Aaron. My cycle is regular now since breastfeeding just once a day and seems to be every 27-28 days which it was when I came of cerazette.

Betty just read your post about night terrors - Aaron had a few of these at around 11 months and again about 14 months poor little sausage! Apparently you are supposed to leave them and not wake them up but I always went in to him and gave him a cuddle or stroked his back until he calmed down and he always seemed in a deep sleep throughout. He's going through a phase at the moment of waking up all grumpy and groggy as though he's still shattered he normally wakes up all happy so not sure what that's all about.

Think we are starting potty training soon yikes!! He tells me every time he needs a wee or a poo sometimes gets them mixed up ha! But he seems a bit young to start so not sure don't want to rush it but think I'm going to buy one and just sit him on it when he tells me and see what happens!

We went to see In the Night Garden live at the Trafford Centre in Manchester yesterday it was amazing he loved every minute of it and kept jumping up and clapping and dancing so funny! He gets the words the wrong way round and kept shouting piggle iggle and daisy opsy, pakka makka I actually felt a bit emotional seeing him love it so much I am such a softie!!

Diddums your scan photos are fantastic!

:hugs: hi ladies. Having a bad day :cry: its taken me an hour to settle him, no idea what's wrong...teeth, heat,tired or what :shrug: he's been at nursery all day and ok.miveleft him in bed now with his bear, a muslin, night light dummy and music on. If I stay up there he stands up and gets more angry.

Plus past few days he's just been horrible, his biting has been worse he strops for no reason, if you stop him if its dangerous etc I think there would be less drama in a mass murder. I just feel so frustrated, I thought I'd be a great mum tbh but I think I'm doing poo. He's so behind to other kids and his behaviour is terrible. I know he's improving th things I just think I'm frustrated.i feel,like people will think I'm a terrible mother or do nothing with him. X
 
When kids are going through one of their "interesting" phases you will often feel frustration to the point of breakdown and question your ability as a mother but your ability to do anything at all!! It feels bloody awful and isolating but I can promise 99% of mothers have had a time where they have felt the same as you do now. Let me tell you when Ollie kicks off I bet he'd give Marcus a run for his money!!! The children that have the largest meltdowns are most often those who are most spoilt so I doubt ppl are thinking you do nothing with him. Biting is a phase lots of babies go through. Brandon got bitten by a kid in reception and they were 5!! I know it's difficult but try to make a conscious effort to remind yourself everything you do for him is what you feel is right at that time and you always have his best interest at heart. Also we learn being a mother is something that we need to get better at as we go along it's a learning process. Every mother is different, every baby is different. I personally think you're doing a great job from what I've seen/read on here n fb xx
 
Honey we are so lucky to have you as you really have been there , done it and got the war wounds to prove it. It just seems frustrating as other parents seem to flaunt their perfect children who are well behaved and run marathons at 11 months haha! Aside from the reflux he was an easy baby, we didn't have sleep issues like Samie or Abbi so I guess it's our turn! Think il go peg the laundry out... Yes it's almost 9.30 pm but meant to be nice tomorrow and I don't have to be on suicide watch this way.... Yes he launches head first off any surface, tries to eat snails or stones and generally thinks he's mr bond. Pegging washing with him out takes an hour and If I put him in the swing he will moan I'm not pushing him!!
 
betty we are so near now with the house scaffolding finally came down yesterday looks amazing :D just getting tradesmen to come when they say now and get things done!! hoping in next couple of months!!

kix have a great time in menorca, ooo baby no2 exciting! think we will think about another once we in house and settled a bit but at same time i want to enjoy allister a bit more but i know he will love having a little brother or sister! :D aaron's speech sounds amazing, allister has quite a few words now but couldn't have a conversation with him, thats brill about him telling you he needs wee poo etc, allister tries for days before he has a poo and then its massive but i don't know whether i should go doctors or not, he doesn't seem affected by it, he eats loads of raisins and that.

i am also back on cerazette! betty i was on microgynon but kept bleeding when shouldnt have been so thats why i went on to cerazette!

diddums such a cute pic!

anna dont blame yourself, they just go through these phases and some seem to like other kids others tend to bully them.. allister is starting terrible twos early i think, he is absolutely obsessed with cars and steering wheels and when i take him off car rides etc i have the worst fits and screaming ever, its a nightmare but hes got to learn! i have also found that distracting him is better than telling him no with some things.. he kept putting stones in his mouth and when i said no he would laugh and do it more, he knew when he was doing it he wasnt meant to as he'd keep lookin to see if i was watching.. when i said eee thats not nice and said come on lets do something else he would stop as he wasnt getting the reaction..its just trial and error with a lot of things!
 
Hi everyone, hope everything's ok? Physio had a cancellation today so slotted Marcus in. He is hyper mobile in his joints but other than that ok:thumbup: the are going to monitor him 3/4 months and assess once walking if he needs any aids. Se feels he is strong enough of his legs to walk any day now if he wanted :haha: she was really pleased how much he's done in 3 weeks nd also commented on how "active" and full of beans he is, she coldnt quit believe it when I said he's always this hyper (seriously he's like a whirlwind). If we co,d tame his tantrums and biting we would be winning xxx
 
I've been having problems, I haven't been able to post for a few days!!

Hay glad the house is coming along nicely! Must be so exciting to be so close!

Anna that's fab news about Marcus! Maybe now you can relax and just enjoy him!

Hope everyone else is well, sorry for short post but I'm exhausted!

Xxx
 
whats up betty hope all is ok with you x

anna thats great news, you can stop stressing now and just go with the flow, all is fine :D

I'm ok hay just still recovering from op! I don't have the stamina for late nights any more either lol! But I wanted to post because the forum had been messing me about!

the worst thing ever so far happened to Sophia this morn. My bro and his gf are down with her little boy who is 4 and He opened the stair gate and they started walking down a step. Sophia then turned to get him to pick her up he didnt get it and she pulled him over and they both rolled to the bottom. ive never ran so fast within a second I was at the bottom of the stairs. She didn't pass out she was crying for about 40 mins and kept going all spaced out then when I decided to take her hospital she started to be ok. She has carpet burns to her spine and hips a scuff on her shoulder and ankle and a little cut on her head a big red mark is now showing on her cheek so I'm expectig a black eye. Just thinking the worst with internal bleeds etc etc but she seems ok just gone down for her nap but its normal nap time so fingers crossed =o(
 
Oh no Samie, how awful! Bet you literally flew down those stairs! Hope Sophia recovers quickly. If you're worried at all just take her to hospital again. Better safe than sorry x
 
Samie sorry to hear that! How terrifying for you! Hope Sophia is ok today and doesn't have too many owies from her tumble!

Xxx
