Evening everyone. Gosh you've all been talking plenty since just yesterday! Loads to catch up on already!
Had a busy day today, DS had his 2.5 year review and that went well so that's good :)
re: feeding. DS ended up being formula fed, I couldn't get him to latch on and had a pretty stressful experience in the hospital. Within a few hours of having him they woke me hourly through the night to try and feed him, and after 2 days he ended up screaming blue murder if even held in a BF position. I tried at home too but nothing would work and all anyone would say was 'just keep trying', but I couldn't get my head around the fact that whilst I kept trying, my baby wasn't getting anything to eat and I panicked. I managed 8 days of expressing but it just got too much for me and I think I might've ended up with PND had I carried on. I just couldn't do the feeding, and the expressing, I didn't have time for anything else it seemed and I was a pretty terrible new mum I think, I just worried and fretted and cried about everything :( I'm hoping I make a better job of it this time round. DS thrived on formula (he had silent reflux and needed a special formula but still, he did very well on it). So, i'm basically hoping to not have a repeat of last time. I really would like to BF, and will say that i'm not going to put too much pressure on myself but I know i'll beat myself up if I can't do it again, just like I did with DS, and still do, I guess.
turquoise glad to hear you're feeling better - keep resting though won't you!
inthewoods recently i am very volatile, the slightest thing has me in tears, or in fits of rage. It is not good!
mslad i used the birthing ball during labour but that's it - it did seem to help though!
i'm with you on that Tits my mum and younger sister are doing slimming world and I did try at first but obviously still gain weight, and so i find myself eating crap and thinking fuck it, because i'm just going to get fat anyway! I am getting awful back ache and shooting pains down my legs, think the spd/sciatica is rearing it's head, and although i'm pleased for them and tell them yes, i know i can lose weight after the baby is here, and yes i know i'm meant to gain weight, i just feel like crap, tbh. Then eat more rubbish. Try not to let it get to you though - we'll get there i'm sure :) Plus we get babies at the end :D
