Good evening......finally been able to grab five minutes to myself....LO has been a demon all day and is feeding constantly. She feeds for about 15 mins, sleeps for 15 mins, feeds for 15, sleeps for 15...you get the picture! This goes on for over an hour and I've been putting her back on the same boob until she's done. I'm not sure whether this is the right thing to do as her feeding pattern is so different from DS. Advice anyone?
Had all the in-laws around today for a couple of hours and I have never been so glad to see the back of them in my life. MIL was itching to take LO out in her pram, but DH wants to do the school run with her tomorrow. I'd kind of like it to be me as well, but I'm not fit to walk anywhere at the moment. My wound is really sore and stings like a burn at one end, but I'm assured it doesn't look infected. Can only stand for about 10 mins befroe I keel over and I have slightly less colour about my face than a lump of pastry! not an attractive look and I've spent the day wondering just why I thought an elective c-section was a good idea.
Sorry...feeling a bit glum ....Em is such a delight really, it could be much much worse.
Derlor...your DH sounds like a fab and wonderful husband. I hinted to mine seriously about a diamond ring for months until he told me emphatically that we can't afford it. I did get a bar of galaxy though, and a bag of Bassett's sweetshop favourites, so I feel really special .
Lilkel....all hail you queen of the bedroom....five days down and I can't imagine anything less appealing. hope you get some reassurance re ovulation, or get the MAP to be on the safe side, you definately don't want to be one of those women who is pg by their six week check.
C'mon babies.....get a move on, its very quiet on the postnatal thread!!
