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

[Samie18]

Ebay don't give a poop about sellers i can't do anything but refund her not that i'm bother because as i have proof of purchase the royal mail refund me just cant understand how ebay can allow a negative when this happens ah well!

I think sophia is on the verge of crawling!! She has learnt that when sitting if she leans forward far enough her leg stays under her and she can get a bit forward, Dunno if she will finally get it because her rolling and moving round get her to where she wants buts its an improvement =o)
Shes also started to say a baby version of Fergie its sooo cute! so Her first words not including ma ma and da da and boo and Fergie.... i also had a random poo said earlier when i was changing her lol so much for mummy and daddy as first words =o)

Glad your well Betty! Have you got one of the baby slings that are like massive blankets that wrap around your waist.....that way you can have her at the breast to feed but it kinda covers over you like a top and wrap around baby but doesnt fully cover her... think they are called Mobi wraps

Hello Honey! You sound like a very busy mummy! Sure Sofia will do fab your kids are very talented =o)

Honey that is funny! That's sorta How I feel, it's not so much the boob on show it's the nipples which are like saucers

Samie i have a closer sling so might see if I can latch her while wearing it

Betty - so glad Daisy is doing well! You must be so pleased. As fr the breastfeeding all I can say is that it does get easier. I wouldn't have dreamed of breastfeeding Jake in public for the first few weeks. It took a while to get it so that I could get him on and off easily so just keep practicing and you should be ok! As for covering up, I'm not sure. Jakey doesn't mind being covered. Once you can get her on easier you won't have to worry as much! I know it's stressful, I spent nights in tears over it but it really does get easier. Jake is amazing at it now, I can look away for a second if he is in bed with me and next thing I know he's eating away! So funny! He is really nosey so when he feeds now he will have a few mouthfuls then come off, have a look around and get back on again! It's very funny! You will get there, it's worth it too cos it's amazing!

Anna - I did loads of walking towards the end! I even walked up and down my garden in the freezing cold cos I didn't want to go out! Haha! Xx

Hi Everyone,

How are you all? I am so useless feel really bad for not coming on and saying hello think about everyone all the time and keep up to date on facebook! Does anyone use this forum on their iphones? I have to go on my lap top as stuggle with it on my phone and I only get the lap top out once in a blue moon - sure there was a phone version of the forum but that doesn't show any more??!

Anyway Aaron is doing really well I can't believe how quick the weeks are flying by its scary!

Samie are you back at work now how's it going? Love love love the videos of Sophia dancing and rolling over on fbook she is gorgeous!!

Abbi are you still breastfeeding? Are you still planning on stopping when he is fully on solids?

Hi to Hay and Honey how are you 2 doing?

Anna how are you feeling bet you can't wait to meet your little one?!

Betty massive congratulations again! Just seen your comments on breastfeeding and I totally agree with Abbi its gets so much easier! Aaron would fuss like mad and take ages to latch on for the first 6-8 weeks then when he was on would hate being covered and would feed for ages so I didn't do it much in public at first. Now he feeds for 5 - 10 minutes at the most and is easy to keep covered plus the more I have fed him in public the easier it gets. I wear a little slip vest top underneath what I am wearing and pull one top up and the vest top down if that makes sense then everything stays covered. I also bought a little blanket from tommee tippee that is in a curved shape which I used to wrap round Aaron without it covering his head which worked really well in the early days - they sell them in boots or cheaper in homebargains.

I love breastfeeding its such a fantastic bond knowing you are giving your baby the best they can get and they are totally reliant on you I have found such an amazing feeling. That said I found it so hard to begin with I was in tears nearly every day trying to get Aaron latched on and then I got really sore and ended up with a thrush infection which took 6 weeks to get rid of blurgh!! All worth every minute though really glad I stuck to it and stuggling now with how and when to stop. I am going back to work in October so by that point Aaron will be well established on solids but I can't get him to take a bottle have been trying for such a long time have now given up as it was causing so much upset for him and me. Hoping to go straight to a cup??? I really hope that will work so even if I can feed him before and after work he can then take a cup during the day. I don't even know how many milk feeds he will need at 8 months can anyone help??

kix xxx nice to hear from you. i can never get the site to work right on my phone either, i find the laptop a pain nowadays so steal hubbys ipad

nothing much to report, quiet night and the the brown d/c stopped all night depsite being up on the hour every hour for leg cramp or wee it came back this morning though-doesnt appear im loosing my plug but something maybe im stretching a bit more

dunno if this makes sense but this morning i felt odd in the girl bits. not sure if any of you experienced this a totm or ovulation but almost like your cervix feels bigger? i cant explain it well it just feels like i do at the start of a period, no cramps or contractions but this funny feeling in there im just monitoring things and ignoring them until i get proper contractions

LO being lazy today, felt him at 4 and 6 but been very quiet- i knew he would though as went crazy yesterday and hoenstly i think he bumbled around for about 3 hrs solid which is seriously unlike him.

hope everyone is well- the weather here right now is glorious really nice and sunny not sure how long itl last tho.

i think kix idea for the two tops when BF is a good one- they suggested that at our BF class. my boobies are huge so il see how i go, ive got muslin cloths a cover etc etc so trial and error. im more worried about MIL that NIP as she is such a prude over it and thinks you should go in a diff room, hopefully hubby will back me up as its ridiculous!

ps, baby deff dropped a lot- had totter round the pond this morning and bump has vanished! its migrated south to the pouches of obesity !!!!

Hi Kix nice to hear from you! We are good thanks. I use this on my iPhone just the normal website. Is Aaron only 5 months and 1 week I thought he was older than allister? Allister only has 3 bottles now and the 2nd one he isn't really bothered about! He absolutely loves his food though. He has breakfast dinner and pudding now. And I give him juice from a cup that I started giving him at 4 months to get him used to it so you may want to try and encourage a cup now to get him used to it? My friends 8 month old is now havin just a bottle in morning and bottle at night and has bfast lunch and dinner.

Betty lovely post Espec the last bit. So glad you are both doing well.

Anna hope u r feeling ok.

Abbi Samie it is mad how they are all so diff with the crawlin etc

[Honeybear1976]

Anna lo is getting ready to make his entrance Im sure of it. If your mil is offended tell her thats no problem its ok with you for her to go to a different room

Kix nice to hear you n aaron are doing well Ollie will have a cup and knows what to do with it but he doesnt even drink half an ounce. Hes a booby monster
Hay not sure how many bottles they have but know they are supposed to have a minimum number of oz till they are 1 i think, sure its 20+ double check with hv. Great that allister is taking juice
Hello everyone else xx

 

[Samie18]

Hi Kix! Work is hectic =o(

Sophia is 8 Months tomorrow and she has a bottle when she wakes but takes anywhere between 2-7 oz then 2 during the day of 7 oz and one for bed between 7-8 oz.
She also had a cup from 4 months so is pretty good taking that now...although she prefers to drink from a water bottle!

It's getting exciting Beth 2 more sleeps until IOL!!!

Got the village festival/carnival this weekend the weather so far is good but rain is forcast for later, hope it holds out as i'm gonna take Sophia to see the live band =o)

Hope everyone else has a nice weekend

x

 

[Honeybear1976]

Live band sounds great Samie bet Sophia will love it Really funny bout the water bottle as Ollie grabbed mine the other day and actually drank from it without pulling a face like someone is trying to poison him

hope the fete was good samie did sophia get her groove on?

made me laugh about ollie the boob monster i was reading how a lady got told to cover up BF nr us the other day but the people all stood up for her. makes me angry as its so natural yet i saw a young girl today about 13 with the shortest skirt on bobbs hanging out her top yet nobody told her to cover up!!

we have had a lovely day. went to Bents garden centre for lunch (its this overprices snotty place but food is fab) and went to southport i somehow managed to walk up and down the pier and a bit of the sea front. still got the brown d/c but pains again have stopped tho LO was very low when walking! at least it hopeuflly will be a kick start for monday if nothing beofre then and make the induction easier xxx

 

[annanouska]

morning all

woke at 4 with mild pains which were getting worse. by 5 am they were strong contractions lasting 30 seconds.

ive got up and had a shower (im ocd about washing my hair) woke hubby to shave my legs just in case.

they were getting really quite bad so i was leaning over the sink etc but now they seem to ahve stopped again not sure if its coz ive been active-actually theres another one its like bad pressure like im being blown up like a baloon combined with period pain.

will be monitoring them and LO as he is super quiet had one kick all day if no update from me by tonight then i may well have gone in

promise to keep you informed jsut wish i could virtually take you all with me me- sory to sound a sap but i feel like youve all become good friends and i wll miss the support sappy old me xxxx

 

[annanouska]

ps-sent hubby back to bed as he gets cranky on no sleep and is flapping which is annoying me!

pps-im enroling LO with MENSA if they come today as MIL has been adament will be today and its one heck of a wise child to know not to argue with her and if he learns that int he womb thats sheer blooming brainiac!

 

[Samie18]

I love you Beth your sooooo funny!!!

 

[hay246]

Anna only got to wait til tomorrow to get things started, exciting

Great news nexis

 

[annanouska]

ok im not going to cope in labour and im going to be a nightmare!!!

had one heck of a bloody show lasting for hours so much so i rung and asked if there should be so much and to advise LO is still not moving.

went in and LO apparantly moved on monitor but couldnt feel it for some reason hb ok tho. got examined by this crazy chinese man doctor, he was like 4 ft nothing and swear he was bouncing off the walls! im 2 cm fully effaced and soft and in early labour

he gave me another sweep and told me to come home drink lots of water walk about and rest, walking and resting contradict each other me thinks!! he doesnt think i will need inducing and thinks i will be back later tonight or early hours, i cant see it happening as i have stop start contractions but when they come OMG do they hurt im already turning into bitch woman. if nothing more established still need to go in tomorrow

we went to the supermarket to get magazines for hospital bag just in case and hubby parked int he parent spaces-when this women asked why i got really snappy and said becuase im in labour and it really hurts so go away!!!!!!!!!! oh dear.....

 

[Samie18]

You defo will not need inducing!!! If your fully effaced there is no where to put the pessary anyway =o)))) So maybe a break of waters and drip but you have done the hard work and are on the road to meeting baby yeahhhhhh!
I can't wait until the morning/afternoon because you will be posting a pic!
Don't think i'll cope without updates!

xx

 

[betty14]

Thanks for all the advise ladies I went and bought some nursing tops and some button up tops and vests so hopefully I can feed without being porno mum

Kix so lovely to hear from you and to hear your doing so well!

Nexis that's fab not long to wait! Beg for the met!!

Anna woooooo! Like Samie said your well on your way! I hope you don't need the IOL and go in your own properly tonight! But if not they will just put the drip up to make the contractions more effective and regular! You are further than I was when I went in so I'm sure your gonna be fab!

I'll be stalking waiting to hear your little man has arrived! So excited for you!!

X x x

 

[kix11]

Ahh good luck Anna so exciting!

Thanks for the tips girls Aaron does take a couple of ounces from a cup so hopefully he will get better with that in the next few months. I have read that they need 20oz (600ml) a day until they are one but that can be added to food too. Sure it will all come right just can't imagine it yet!

Hay yep Aaron is younger than Alister he was born on 31st Jan I remember it was Abbi, you then me!

I'm not sure when to start Aaron on solids I know the recommendation is 6 months but health visitor has suggested starting him soon xxx
