Morning all, hope everyone had a good weekend. DD was sick all Sat night, as in i had to fully wash and change her and the bedclothes three times.....she started with a really runny nose on Fri afternoon, which got worse as the day went on, with sneezing etc. Poor thing. Then Sun morn she bought back all her milk. I checked with NHS direct who said to keep an eye, and feed/water her little and often. She was fine for the rest of the day, and last night she wasnt bad, althiough she was coughing lots. then this morning i gave her just half her morning milk and she promptly bought it up....very strange, she seems fine in herself though, anyone got any ideas.....i know you are all mum doctors!!
Sat i had a MASSSIVE 'to do' withHouse of Fraser who wouldnt let me have a refund on my hubbys belt he got for christmas. Even though i had a receipt. I would have changed it if they had had a larger one but they didnt. There policy is only to exhcange or refund within 28 days........god i was livid. Too much to go into , i wont bore you, but i have written a very stong letter of complaint to the head office, after being spoken to by two managers who didnt have a an ounce of noggin between them, and they SO could have caused undue stress to my babt, i am after all almost 8 mths pregnant!!
Have been looking at Stollers, again, anyone seen or got any thoughts/ideas or opinions on this? It doesnt seem to be available in England, and would seem i would have to order it in. I love the sunrise_navy one. And there was me not going to go for a new one....mind you if the shipping costs are to high i might still have to!
Yankee i use one life nappies. Same sort of thing, with the flushable liners. DD has been in them since about 6 weeks old and i have found them to be great, wash well and have stayed really 'new' looking. I will be getting a top up of them for when the DS comes along!
Re the hair thing, i havnt noticed any change in any of my hair, but i didnt with DD either. A friend of mine, lost loads after the birth of her son, but only the extra that seemed to sprout when she was preggers. She looks fine now, and its stopped, (hes 9 mths)
I had a tear with DD, she had a big head i was told! i did all the fast breathing stuff and panting when the head was crowning and really didnt feel anything, i thought i had got away with it, but no.... had to have stitches. No problems going to the loo though afterwards, and i had lots of warm either slightly salted baths or which hazel baths. Worked for me. I think i would rather tear than have the 'cut' that way it goes whre its supposed to go , IYKWIM!! One thing i will be certain of this time round is that i WILL NOT be put in stirrups. The last hour of my labour (which was 52 hrs longbtw) i was so tired that they thought it would help me to push, it helped at the time but i had SUCH BAD sciatica that was attributed to it, after, no way, never again!
Well done you ladies still at work, i cant imagine having to get up and dressed and be nice to people, even if i felt like shit! Well done and theres not long left to go now!! I feel so FULL its crazy, much fuller than b4 and i was quite full with DD ( she was 9lbs 5) after reading about the possible weight of your babies, i think i will remain happy in the knowledge that i dont know!!
Rosylily i love old stuff too. We were at the auctions last week and got two lovely 1930s wardrobes ( our house is 1930's ) and i love to find furniture to go with. It also means that we can move clothes out of DD new room and get that sorted for her so 'the boy' can go into the nursery!
Sorry for long post, but i have to try and catch up with you lot!!!
EDD 9 March - 53 days....OMG!!
Boy!
