April 2013 TTC girls, where we ALL get our babies!

Thanks so much for sticking up for me cupcake It really pees me off that any thread on here can turn into an argument!

Thanks everyone
Ducky, thanks so much for the offer of the bottles! I'll be ok though thanks, I've got the 'closer to nature' Avent ones which are anti-colic

Sorry Lill I had to respond on ur thread!
People like that rele piss me off!!
It doesn't matter how u feed ur baby as long as ur happy and have energy! The baby needs u to have energy and be happy :) it does sound like colic tho :) as Ducky said use infacol before every feed :)

I'm in one of those moods because I went to asda and again someone who has no children parked in a child and parent space!!

Tori ur bump is so perfect! :) bet ur glad to be term tomorrow :) ur almost there!

Siarie I'm like u, ideally I'd like one of each, a DS and a DD :) we'll see next week lol.

It's not always the formula that causes those pains. I was exclusively BF St first and DD had those pains. Try Infacol occasionally to help with trapped wind, anti colic bottle (we use Tommee Tippee ones just be sure the valves are open).

DD gets wind now and will squirm, pop a bit of infacol and she's soon settled.

I see the poster replied on the thread, this thread does pop up in active a lot. I forget how many people read it

I had an emergency c section due to fetal distress before I had dilated enough for them to do the head blood test.

They've made me feel guilty for not solely bfing and worried my milk's going to dry up

Siarie - what tummy??!! I can't see anything in your photo! Mine's bigger and I'm confident it'll go down - I'm sure yours will too.
Lovely neat bump Cupcake
Siarie, did you have an elcs? I'd got it in my head that you were induced but then you've said about not having been in active labour? My memory's f**ked!

Started a thread yesterday about DS's tummy ache and ended up getting reprimanded for ffing at night by bf nazis enthusiasts

Goodness cupcake I hope my dd sleeps through when she's that age, I think I'd break!

DD slept for five hours, albeit in my bed last night. Longest gap between feeds so far. She doesn't like being on her back, but will sleep well on her side against me (with me sleeping on my side). And I thought I'd be able to sleep on my back after pregnancy.

She will sleep in the hammock but startles and gets upset.

I want a DS next in an ideal world. We are only having two so one of each would be great. We tried to have a girl using the sperm meets egg plan, I don't know if that actually played a part but we will try for a boy next time.

Got a bit of sleep Ducky. He went back to sleep in his bed till 7 so a few hours lol.
I'm hoping he sleeps through once baby is here too! I've not spoken or seen my HV for a very long time now, I think the last time I went he had just turned 1 back in August!
But the children's centre is only open on Thursdays and I'm at work all day :/
I got offered to possible go on a TV show called "the three day nanny" as I sent an email about how I can't get DS to go to bed and that he's nearly 2 and how he wakes up etc. but I watched some episodes of the last series and the children on it were awful! So so misbehaved and nothing like DS. He's not naughty in the day he just doesn't go to bed at night or sleep well lol so I said no I didn't want to participate maybe I should have

Aww bless u Ducky, I wouldn't be able to get rid of anything either. There's no harm in keeping all the stuff :)

I'm up with DS as he wont sleep not sure why his sleep has changed! Could it be the baby? Or growth spurt ? I dunno :/
I'm lying in my bed with him and my hip aches so so bad! I can't turn over or move tho as he wakes up and cries. Plus I'm desperate for a wee!!

Oh wow Ducky! :) that's a big one!
And yep :) find out next Sunday! I can't wait!! I think a boy I do but only because I've had a boy so know I can carry boys have a boys name already and a girls name too :) I love both my choices, Oscar or Faith :) hehe!
Oh and hospital food.... I loved it the lamb hotpot was so good

Thanks Siarie! I'm deffo going to consider getting one of those :) they look rele good, look like they rele support u, I could have done with one after DS.

Hey look at that neat bump, bet you are pleased cupcake.

I used a belly bandit after my top stitches came out day five.

m.bellybandit.com

I think that's probably why it shrank down so quickly. DD will be a month old tomorrow! Also I was really sick in the first trimester and that helped too.

Omg Siarie how are u that skinny after a csection?!? I want ur doctor lol!

I'm deffo not skinny especially now haha as u can see a small bump is formed I was thinking tho if I did end up being rushed off for a csection again for whatever reason might ask them to snip a bit of fat off not sure if they'd do it tho! Worth a try :p

Oh how cool Ducky! How did the tattoos look when pg? I've always wanted one going down the side of my stomach and hip but never got it because of future pregnancies Incase it stretched I wasn't sure if that would happen? Is urs still the same?

Oh is the IV fluid why that happens? I had one during my induction as I was throwing up loads. cupcake that interesting to know, ideally I'd like to know what labour is like but I would hate to go through active labour only to end up having to have a section anyway if that makes sense.

This is my tummy at the moment, the scar/wound is really low down but before I had a small amount of fat on my stomach but was still flat. However now because the scar pulls in that tiny bit of fat looks really bad so that's why I'm going to have to get rid of it to be happy with the look with the scar basically or get an op. DH said I should get some advice on it and see what they can offer, I'll do that once I know what I'm dealing with (once it all stops changing).

Abs are getting closer together but still have a gap towards the bottom so that won't be helping.
