We made the trimesters pass quickly!

[brunettebimbo]

I just couldn't be bothered with filling in loads of info that they already have.
I'm not even sure if we are entitled to anything but figured it was worth a shot!

I thought everyone is entitled to child tax credits depending on how much they earn?
I was on hold with them for 35 minutes and the call itself took 3 minutes lol

Thanks BB I ended up giving her cool boiled water which helped x

 

[Carlyp1990]

They just updated my claim and said I'll get my new letter with entitlement in the post. I'll know tomorrow if it's been sorted or not because that's my usual tax credits day. Stupid thing is Jon's moving in soon (jjust got a few debts to sort first) so ill have to do a whole new claim!

Just been and got some info col so fingers crossed for a better night.

Ladies what's your bleeding like? I thought mine had stopped as ill have a full day without any then all of a sudden ill get some cramping in the left hand side of my lower abdomen and a gush of bright red blood... its driving me mad
Also excuse the tmi but anyone got any experience of piles and how to get rid of them? Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

No beckki not everyone is entitled to them.

Carly my bleeding stopped and started again so I've no idea if it's a period or bleeding from birth. But I have days where I don't bleed at all then it comes back, very annoying!
I've no advice on the piles though sorry Hun x

 

[brunettebimbo]

Carly mine did that for a while. I was in Asda and had to change 3 times just because I kept gushing!

I don't think I've bled now for about 4 days.

I had piles too, I think I still have internal ones because, sorry TMI, but it hurts to go to the toilet, it's like a really sharp pain. I have Anusol but I'm rubbish at using it!

 

[Carlyp1990]

Thanks hun. Sounds like the bleading might be normal then... its just super annoying!

How are you feeling now hun? Xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

BB I've just got some anusol from asda. I thought I was ok until after I went to the toilet the other day and they seemed to be worse again hopefully they'll go soon! That's more uncomfortable than my stitches were! Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Thanks hun. Sounds like the bleading might be normal then... its just super annoying!

How are you feeling now hun? Xx

I'm ok thank you I'm just waiting to find out what they want to do with my kidney because putting a stent in will be too difficult so looks like they'll remove it, either way I wish they'd hurry and do it so I can get back to normal xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

For the piles I used boots hemorrhoid cream.

I got my backdate for her tax credits today and I applied last week, don't nornally get them until a Friday.

I thought my bleeding was beginning to stop but it's started again. I can't wait to not have to wear a pad, they're so irritating x

 

[ab75]

My bleeding seems to stop then gushes again. Was red yesterday. I thought it was my period come early but back to lochia today.
Hope you get your kidney sorted out soon Amy xx

Best thing for piles is proctosedyl ointment and suppositories. Need to get it from docs or you can buy it on online pharmacy site (but more expensive I think). The over the counter stuff is rubbish.

Fatty little monkey here is thriving. 9lb 14oz on last weigh in last week!!! She's so squidgy, love her

I haven't had any days when I haven't bled yet! Hoping it won't last too much longer, but I read up to 6 weeks is still normal.

 

[Carlyp1990]

Well last night was terrible!
Had a perfect day but when I tried to put her down for bed it all just went downhill. Bathed her at 6:30 then fed her and tried to put her in her moses basket at 7:30 and she just wouldn't settle at all. eventually I gave in at 11 and put her in bed with me and she literally fed all night! Me and jon keep snapping at each other when shes streaming because none of us can settle her .
she's been unsettled this morning too but seems fine now. I'm clueless as to what to do when she's like that xx

 

[ab75]

carly. sorry you had a bad night xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Hugs Carly wish I had some advice for you xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

I've just spoken to the star buddies breastfeeding lady again and she thinks it sounds like colic. She said to see how things are and maybe talk to the HV about getting something better than infacol to help her.
She's so settled during the day and is like a dream baby but come bedtime it's like a switch is flicked xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

When do you see the health visitor Hun xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Not for another 2 weeks but I could always ring her if needed. Hopefully she'll start to settle soon xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Might be worth giving her a quick call she may be able to prescribe you something to settle her xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Riya gets like that at night too, she will only stop crying if I am holding her. Not even OH or MIL can calm her down from holding her. Also she only settles down when I lay in bed with her if I am trying to sleep at night. She will comfort suck and fall asleep like that for hours sucking the whole time in her sleep. It could be colic, but honestly I think she just wants Mommy's attention. You know best tho, good luck Carly!

 

[Carlyp1990]

Even my attention won't calm her down for a while though. I'm trying to take each night as it comes but im starting to dread bedtime the crazy thing is she will happily stay settled downstairs until 10pm If I leave her but if I take her upstairs all hell breaks loose oh well tonight's another night xx
