I?m really pleased, Sîan fed lying down this morning for the first time, normally at night she likes me to sit up and lie her on my lap, leaning over her. Obviously this is awful on my back and I don?t get to sleep. I?ve kept trying lying on my side and last night she managed it, not only that we both fell asleep and I woke up to find she had relatched herself!
MW came out today, Sîan has lost 1lb but we?re not too worried because of what happened at the weekend and it was a different set of scales. She wasn?t impressed about the hospital; them trying to admit me; that they told me off for syringe feeding (?what did they want you to do? Give her a beaker??); or that they told me I needed to go out and get a bottle, she agreed with me that it?s better to not have one in the house if you don?t plan on using them.
Mum picked Tink up from the childminder and she (CM) told her that she had taken Tink to her friend?s house who has a daughter of a similar age. Apparently this girl is a little bossy and not a nice little girl, she said that this girl met her match in Tink! Without being nasty she stood up for herself and didn?t allow this girl to boss her around. The CM said she would have been pleased if Tink had smacked the girl but she can stand up for herself without it Mum pointed out that she has five cousins who are all quite loud so she?s well used to standing up for herself.
Funny how my baby is due next week and my body seems to have noticed, I was nesting yesterday and I?ve been clearing out too
Oh and my back is killing in a cross between yesterday?s nesting and Tesco only having one scooter working and that had a flat battery so I had to walk around
Laidback sounds wonderful! Actually I can?t complain, my parents are fantastic and his don?t really bother with us.
Herb she looks lovely! How is life with a newborn going?
To those of you listening in to your baby, there is a change in the heart rate during contractions, I think that?s what would worry the hospital, do you know when it?s a normal increase, how high it should go compared to a distressed baby?
Pempe how annoying! You?d think with the distance they wouldn?t mess you around so much.
Neerly one thing that I was told to remember with PGP is the irony of keeping your knees together will help if paracetamol doesn?t help, try it as a course as though it was AB or something, then try co-codamol, again as a course. If that doesn?t work you need a prescription for something stronger.
Catstar what is it with men? Mine thinks he needs lots of time out, he goes to work and doesn?t see that is time out from the house whereas I?m here all the time looking after his two daughters and unable to go anywhere and I don?t get to go out with friends or have a weekend away.
LBB I?ve never heard of that before, what a cool idea! Glad they were able to get some money to you.
Coco I was booked for 38 weeks. It depends why they want to do the CS. They didn?t want me to labour on my scar so they booked me in earlier, if they don?t mind and are happy for you to go into labour first they will book you in later. I think the piece of rope is probably not necessary if you don?t have any other problems, it took me a week to be able to move alone but I was suffering from my back and that?s what gave me the problems, first time I was fine after a couple of days and that was with a bad back (but not as bad as it is now).
