Thread 5

Sorry for lack of posts - cannot keep up with this thread! Still loads of nausea/fatigue in evenings and working FT so no time to post. I have the day off today so I can finally say hello. I have my 12wk scan next Thursday and praying I'm not the one who ends up with twins! Sending good vibes to Jolls - the pre-12wk anxiety is horrible. I had 1 day of severe cramps last week and thought it was game over so totally understand why you're worried today. Thank goodness the scan is tomorrow. Rest up! I think mummypig and teddy have the same age gaps as me (by March we'll have a 6yo and almost 4yo right?) but it doesn't stop the 'what the hell am I doing' thoughts. I must be mad doing this all over again now that we're finally out of nappies and buggies! Hot - definitely go for the wedding. You can pop a 3mth old in a sling and they'll just fit in with whatever you're doing. Easier than taking a toddler on a plane for sure.

Okay, here is another stupid question.

How do you RSVP.

It says on the invitation RSVP to and then gives an address. Do I write something on the invitation and send it back? Or do I buy a specific RSVP card?

However you normally communicate with her, I would say. But I don't know the etiquette, I've never been invited to a wedding

Get an RSVP card. It's something that a lot of people like to keep aswel as their message books to remember who went to their wedding etc.

Fox count yourself lucky, I hate weddings! [moody cow emoticon] I just hate enforced mingling (seating plans where you're miles away from your buds) and all the waiting around.

Joll like the others have said, don't panic, try to take it easy (glad you went home) and speak to mw. No cramping is a good sign. xxx

Lyra happy birthday!

Pram your landlord is a right dick splat. Well done for standing your ground.

HotCross yes it would be pretty horrendous to have a weekend away from a breastfed baby - your boobs would explode! I went to a wedding once when DS was 8 weeks and my mum looked after him. I missed half the do as was bent over a sink in someone's room draining off all the excess milk. Should have just taken him with me but DH was at a different wedding (!! You see how we have wedding over-exposure!!) so wasn't around to help. 3 months is nice and portable though so you should be fine.

Who was it panicking about 18 month age gap? I have a little more between my first two and it was fine; I did panic in the same way though. DS didn't have a clue what was going on when we brought DD home but as a result there was no jealousy and they are great pals now. I had a few local friends with the same age gap which helped as we often got together and shared tips. DH works long hours so I quite quickly had to get into a routine, and by 5 or 6 weeks I was putting both kids to bed at 7ish and then collapsing on to the sofa to order a curry and watch Corrie!!

Send a nice card Hottie. Don't worry about it being an RSVP one, I'd find one with a nice pic on it and 'blank for your own message' (unless there is a pretty RSVP one that grabs you!) Bloody love weddings, me.

Pirates it was me with the 18mo gap wobble - thanks for your kind words

PiratesMam I didn't know your boobs overfilled like that. I don't know how I thought it worked

I'll send a card! Getting post is the best, so I'll make it a good 'un

I, too, hate weddings and refuse to go to them any more. I doubt I would even go to my own.

Pirates, I am loving 'dick splat'.

Hottie, unsucked breastfeeding boobs are evil, I have heard. They feel like red-hot about-to-explode space hoppers - multiplied by five, apparently.

Well your boobs make the amount of milk that is needed for the baby. And if they baby isn't using the milk i.e if you are away from them for a while, then the milk is still being made but not used so your boobs end up engorged and sore!

My boobs look like blown up pornstar tits already!! They are so veiny and fake looking n my nips are about double in size :(

on a good note were bookin a holiday to luxor egypt 4-11th nov, weathers still 25-29 so not too hot ahh lush x

Jols glad you're taking it easy - feet up and try and relax x

Pram god I thought my landlord was a twat, he has to serve you notice, I think it's 3 months, but he can't just turn up and turf you out.

Re the breastfeeding - when DD was about 4 weeks I took a walk with her down the river, my boobs were overfilling so badly I had to strip off and hand express on the river bank I felt awful about it until my neighbor who's daughter is 3 months older told me she'd done exactly the same

Re Holidays - we've just paid our outstanding balance for a Centre Parc trip in November, it's not glam, but it's cheap and DD will be over the moon - and we're going with another couple who also have a young DD and are expecting. I plan to eat out every night and float in the pool every day

Gawjus just wait they'll get even bigger with DD I went from a B to a H and then settled to a droopy C after breastfeeding

I think many mothers have experienced the embarrassing leakage situation!

I'm exhausted tonight. I slept so badly last night, and even though I only had one child today we spent a lot of time outside and I've got a headache, feel sick and I could fall asleep. Ds had a good first day at school but is a leeeetle grumpy!

I thought breastfeeding did not result in droopy tits? That's what the Breastapo attest anyway.

I have had to take an extra half a tablet just now. I honestly feel like stabbing someone. This is all because of the brouhaha with my landlord this morning, but it has shone a light on the fact that it is, yet again, a fucking bloke who has managed to make me feel vulnerable and despairing. My other half was only saying the other night how he is dreading our first counselling session on Saturday and how he doesn't see 'why we can't solve our problems together' without help. He has a fucking shock coming to him on Saturday morning. This stuff with the landlord has evoked all kinds of anger in me with regard to being fucked-about by dick splats and I am determined that th'usband should know exactly what the consequences of his cunty behaviour are.

Well pregnancy hormones cause everything to relax and stretch. Then if your boobs are producing milk and bigger than usual, when you stop making milk, well, they don't exactly spring back!

Having bad flashbacks of engorged boobies and the 'let down' reflex - cue two big wet patches on the front of top where my breastpads simply weren't up to the job .

Bloody hell mtb a h!! I was b am now easily a d i hope they dont get much bigger theyre horrible and bulgey :(

I don't think anyone sent me a nice RSVP card for my wedding. I hadn't realized they were supposed to. But now I know...what bastards.

My boobs haven't got any bigger, but the right one is unbelievably itchy. I've had to take my bra off - and I HATE sitting without a bra on.

I still have vair small boobs. I like it this way.

I never got into bras...I guess I might have to soon.

Breastfeeding doesn't knacker your tits - pregnancy can! Luckily I've got teeny tiny ones, that grew a little in pregnancy then afterwards looked like I'd never had a baby :) my step sister had A cups that are now D cups (her youngest is 3), yet my mum had ok boobs that deflated to hell after having me and never refilled! Think its just luck of the draw!
