My sister tried to visit while I was still being stitched up! Thankfully they didn't let her in (or even tell me), I had no visitors that day as I stayed in the delivery suite for 7 hours after DS was born before being moved to postnatal late evening. Not sure what she was thinking, as she's a nurse too so must be aware that I might not be instantly available to visitors! I had visitors in hospital, and the day after we got home - my dad and sister didn't even leave the room (my bedroom!) when the midwife visited me - this time I will tell them to give me some privacy, but I was pretty out of it at the time.
DS has gone to the park with nanny and grandad - he has been lovely all morning and we went to a breastfeeding support group / play group, but when we left he had a mega tantrum and was scratching and pinching me as I buckled his car seat :( and then he cried all the way home, he's been like this all through the holidays (he is 3) whenever we leave somewhere (or I ask him to come with me to the toilet), but only to me, I wonder if he is missing preschool but wish I knew how to handle it better :( I don't shout, I ask him to tell me what is wrong, offer cuddles, give a countdown when we are leaving somewhere etc. He's also doing the same to me at bath time, it's clearly frustration /strength of emotion that he can't handle, but I'm not sure how to help him, maybe he is aware the baby will be here soon. Going to make the most of my little break by doing some chores!
Baby seems wedged under my ribs on the right hand side so I have pain at the front and pain in my back - my 2 boys are hurting me inside and out!
Good luck ilove and tea hope things start moving along soon x
