Samie hope work isn't too bad! Lets hope not too many nye babies were made

Pinky that's fab! Giving birth is amazing! I'm sure his head is just fine, think the scan makes it look bigger lol!

Honey sorry to hear your poorly hope your feeling better soon, did you get antibiotics?

Anna we posted at the same time! no matter how many bibs I have I always run out! Always have the tumble dryer going for them

X x x

 

[PinkyEyes]

I'm making a note to buy more bibs and muslins!
Honey, hope you feel better soon.
Anna, I really will take on board what you're saying about not pushing myself too hard after the birth - I'm terrible for trying to cope with everything and burning myself out.
Had the midwife this afternoon but it wasn't my usual lady. Been trying to decipher what she's written on my notes, think she's put 'brim' for engagement so I'm pretty pleased with that. It sounds awful, but I'm looking for an excuse to get out of travelling to a wedding party this weekend - the groom is a creep (on my wedding day he whispered in my ear that he'd been thinking all day about 'motorboating' me! I was too shocked to slap him, and he left straight after that!) and my ex-fiancé will be at this party too. I can say baby is head down and starting to engage and I'm not comfortable travelling so far this close to full term without it sounding lame, can't I?
Xx

No pinky eyes that is a perfectly acceptable thing to say. Definitely dont go, what a minger yuck, and an ex fiancee nah dont bother going! I think Anna is right that it is easy to expect too much of yourself when you become a mother, especially with the first baby as you dont really know what to expect. In the olden days women would stay in and do nothing except feed the baby and cuddle lots, I had Ollie at 3.17am and was doing the school run the following morning! C section is more difficult to recover from than a vaginal delivery but all manageable in the majority of cases. Im over the moon that after my c section I managed a vaginal delivery. I was driving less than 2weeks pp with my section so depending on how much you need to get done do as little or much as is necessary without considering ANYONE except you, baby and oh. Xx

Pinky I totally agree with taking it easy, also one step at a time because you don't know how you will feel emotionally as well as physically! I remember when Daisy was about a week old oh's cousins popped in but they bought a friend I've never met, my sis and her oh and 2 kids were round as well.... I 'thought' I was ok but I got really upset because they were all passing Daisy round for cuddles I just had a desparate need for them to give her back and I cried full on and my sis asked them to go! I never expected such strong feelings of needing her in my arms like that!

I'm not trying to worry you by telling you just I know I wasn't warned while pregnant, these hormones are a funny ole thing and they are totally messed up for a while! I would just cry for no reason all the time haha!

Honey is right, do what's best for you, baby and oh if you don't feel like visitors then tell people no! They will understand!

Betty I'm still like that now! Think I have separation anxiety. You have never left daisy have you? I've left Marcus once with hubby for 90 mins when I had physio and he was off!

It's going ok but improvement is so slow x

 

[hay246]

pinky eyes great news, sure his head isnt big lol!

honey hope you are better!

i think unless you have to leave them in my eyes its not exactly important, yea when they bit older they may be more clingy but i dont know? i do enjoy my 3 days at work as i know that the 24 hours in total i am away from him i make up by being with him the rest of the time, and the break does do good, but i absolutely love being with him, and other than work i dont really leave him as i feel like i have lost an arm lol. its just easy enough to take him everywhere with me! going to start him in nursery half day a week in february i think, £25, but i just want him to get used to being with other kids and sharing etc, and its a small one where they only have 6 children a day, so they get the attention they need to, so will see how it goes anyway!

hope works not too busy samie.

i cannot wait to get some sunshine now, roll on next friday, fingers crossed little man is ok on the plane! x

 

[betty14]

Anna I've never left her longer than an hour and that was for the dentist! I can't bear it being away from her tbh I've no reason to be without her and agree with hay it's easy enough to take her along! Also with bf I need to be close!

Hay I bet your pinging for your holiday eh! Very exciting!
I'm sure little man will be ok on the plane

Hi ladies. AF got me so back to cd1. At least my LP is getting longer! Now I'm wondering do I do a natural cycle? Or do I take soy for a third month. I'm leaning towards a natural cycle so I can see what my body is doing. Will be interesting to see how my body copes. Or even whether it was the soy making me ovulate. I don't think soy actually works for me as I've taken twice before and gone on to have an ovulatory cycle (last two annovulatory cycles) so i don't think it's necessarily the soy making me ovulate. My last cycle was shorter than the one before so that's a step in the right direction. Hoping to ovulate earlier next month and get another blood test and result in before 1st Feb

 

[betty14]

Sorry af came diddums, how long was lp this time?

Hope you manage another blood test in before fs! I don't really know Much about soy but if you don't think it's helping I would def try a cycle without to see for sure!

[sara15h1986]

Hey ladies hope you are all well. First period after mc wasn't as bad as I thought. Heavier, 1 day longer but not painful so all good.
I now have new things on my kind rather than trying for a baby and that's buying a house. I live in a 2 bedroom flat, which I own on my own. Been here a year but me and the OH are now looking to buy a house together this year - yay so have my mind focused on that for now

 

[betty14]

That's good Sara at least now you have a cycle to track

Wow moving how exciting! That's brilliant that your going to but somewhere together! Does your oh have a flat to sell too?

X x

 

[sara15h1986]

Hi Betty,
No he doesn't have property to sell, he has sold and left his already so just mine to go now.

 

[betty14]

Ah that's good then a little less stress huh!

You are brave the whole buyi g and selling houses is such hard work lol!

X x x

 

[sara15h1986]

Yeah. Will be sad to see my flat go but we can get a house before having a baby I would prefer that x

 

[betty14]

Def a good idea to be settled before baby! We moved when I was about 15 wks was glad to be all sorted long before Daisy arrived x xx

 

[annanouska]

Gosh all these house moves!

Hope everyone is ok. Anyone who went down traditional weaning..when did LO manage lumps and finger foods? We can do purée very well and is even managing mummy's cooking now. I do give him some 'texture' at times which he can do but major lumps he doesn't like. Also he tried bolognese bake blended yesterday, fine but gave him a pasta twist on the tray and he couldn't care less! The Hv was saying its because he has blended food he won't ever learn lumps?! I'm sure we all grew up on blended tw and I can chomps away at food quite well!

I only introduced pasta yesterday as hes pretty much 6 months now. He had chicken with veggies and loved it. Also did a fish pie which he liked too. Again only had meat for 2 days! Funny as Hipp sent an email today saying you can now give meat at 4 months?! Very odd, I gave the fruit and veg but def heldoffnthe gluten and meat.

Has anyone got any plans? Baby mrs h is due soon and pink eyes not far off. Is that it now bump wise? We need some bfps. Xxxx

 

[betty14]

Oh gosh Anna really really take no notice of the hv they are about as useful as choc fire guards when it comes to advise!!

Carry on as you are blending it and gradually he will tolerate bigger and bigger lumps there isn't any rush, you know him best so go with your instinct that's spot on!!

As you say we were all bought up on purees and I can tell you lumps of food def don't confuse me

Others with more experience might add more help but I'm sure you are just fine as you are!

X x x

 

[Honeybear1976]

Betty is right it will come naturally unless you blend his food until he is a teenager
My first 2 had purrees and eventually our food mashed with a fork then normal food. Jack was introduced a bit later and slower as he was 9wks early and didnt want to overwhelm him. Ollie has always prefered lumps to anything runny, more or less from the 2nd week I was mashing with a fork, but I didnt start him till he was bout a week off 6months so Marcus will be ahead now. Just give him as much as you feel he can manage, you are his expert

 

[Samie18]

cant remember when we started lumps think it was just as the jar stages changed to lumps..... but shes always preferred to feed herself so finger food wasnt an issue just the choking episodes were for me lol
