Shelb I bet your contractions will kick off again in short order. Try to relax as it will help.
Pink I'm sure those BH will turn to real contractions soon.
Bunch I didn't have a bleed in the end which is brilliant! I only lost 300ml of blood And they didn't give me the injections in the end, I am on iron tablets though.
Good to know tares rarely end up infected so it's probably still lack of sleep and hormones realigning.
Glad your day out went well, those pictures are ace! But sorry your stitches have become more infected. No wonder you're feeling a bit sorry for yourself 
I hope Atticus deals with the antibiotics well and you feel a bit more positive soon.
Lara glad the birth stories helped. I know I'd rather know exactly what to expect in advance.
Miley OH pointed out yesterday what a good thing it was that we paid the previous owners to stick to the original time scale as if we hadn't we would have been due to move while I was in labour! That would not have been good
Arya was good as gold this evening and went down well at 9pm when we went to bed... She then decided to play "guess why I'm crying" at 11 and I discovered that there is nothing more irritating than someone snoring away while you're repeatedly trying things, turned out she was hungry so she's now fed and sleeping again a little restlessly. I'm hoping she drops into one of her deep sleeps soon so I can get a bit more shut eye!
I'm learning that the first few days of being a mum are all about being incredibly over sensitive about every sound and movement your baby makes but then again I guess that's how you learn. For example I now know that Arya dreams for the first 30 or so minutes after I put her down and will make chirps, Whimpers and crying sounds in her sleep... She'll then fall into a deep sleep and be dead to the world.
In related news I had to deal with a over wrought mother today. She's got really stressed and upset that I hadn't phoned her. I had to spend a good half hour calming her down and explaining that I'd only just got home. She was convinced that I was pushing her out and ignoring her and that I or OH should have been calling her all through labour with updates
Not what I needed, I guess it shows that somewhere in there she still cares but in her head she'd twisted everything I'd said to her to compliment her woe is me story. She's also decided that my OH is purposely leaving her out and is getting hostile towards him.
I had asked my sister to handle my mother for a few days but she can't do it like I can. I know all my mums tricks and how she manipulates. She doesn't get away with using tears, threats or manipulation on me but others are too soft with her and just like a child she uses that to get her way.
Right, Arya is pretty settled now so time to try to sleep myself
