Don't brag Lou it's not nice!

DD is dressed as a little girl for the first time this morning as we have received a couple of bags of cast off pink things this week! She looks very cute! Grin

HalleLouja · 11/05/2012 10:24

I am not bragging! I had two teeny tiny premmies so I can't have everything. May have blocked out the pain bit.

In other news in 2 weeks time DD is going to be one.

RTD got me today!!! Sad

Fairy sorry about rtd, fingers crossed for next month.

Lou it goes so quick.

Umbongo your nipples just need some time to toughen up, after about six weeks my nipples didn't hurt as much but let down still hurt like a bitch!

I only managed about 12 weeks with dd1 but feed mini until last month(she was 14 months) when she was 4 months old I nearly gave up as I was so tired from the night feeds, every two hours most nights, but I'm glad I carried on.

My nipples were really sore after the first week so I used nipple shields for a few days so they had chance to heal. I didn't tell the midwife as she talked like they were the work of the devil.

Well just had the week from hell as we all had d&v, mini first, then me and dd1 and then dh. I was puking holding onto mini while dd1 was puking into the bath beside me and dh was running around cleaning up puke!

Sounds terrible Lemony!

Oh well back onto the shagging this month plus should be ovulating about the same time as our holiday!!!!

OP posts:
UmBongo · 12/05/2012 20:39

I was hoping for a bit less than 6 weeks Lemony! I am hoping they stop hurting after 2-3 weeks, I think they have been a bit less sore today. I can't remember how long it took with ds. They are not cracked (Thank God, Allah, Buddha and anyone else for Lansinoh) but it does make my eyes cross when she starts!

Sorry to hear about the d&v, sounds hellish, hope you are all better and the laundry heap has subsided!

Sorry for RTD FairyG, at least it didn't keep you waiting this time and enjoy your holidayWink!

Fairygodmother1 · 13/05/2012 07:35

Apparently there's a good cream you can use in boots but have no idea what it's called - sorry!

Need a bit of a cheer up as have had a very bad night with period pain! Am exhaused already so will be spending most of today in bed trying to control pain & every other symptom including d&v (I don't think I have the ug though just major reaction to pain)!

All I can say is neurofen period pain doesn't work & when I read the label it said it may interfere with fertility (oh great) so once out of my system I'm back on panadol that works!

Hope everyone has a better Sunday than me Brew

Bliming phone posting twice.....

Fairygodmother1 · 13/05/2012 14:07

I'm sure Lemony won't mind me having some of her double vodka from Lou

OP posts:
HalleLouja · 13/05/2012 21:29

I meant FairyG not Lemony. But she can have some too.

Fairygodmother1 · 15/05/2012 17:33

Can I have her double & my double????

My brother sent me a text of a scan photo his girlf had done today!!! No warning or anything!!!!!!

Argh!!!! How unfair! He had plenty of chances to give me the heads up, but no! Let me find out through a bloody text! Then plaster it all over facebook FFS!
My feelings are totally irrelivant! Doesn't matter I MC not so long ago!

I'm so upset & then feel bad because I hate them so much. And nobody understands

I'm sorry to offload on you guys!

OP posts:
Icedlemonmuffin · 15/05/2012 20:19

Big hugs Fairy and a slap for saying sorry about offloading!

You have been through so much and you are still, so you can vent as much as you like.

I completely understand about hating people, especially people who look at a cock and get pregnant. After my mmc I just wanted to slap every women with a bump and I just felt such rage at the unfairness of it all.

I cried so much when yet another person announced they were pregnant and said congratulations through gritted teeth. My poor dh got shouted at a lot and I know it was really hard for him as well.

Fairy all these feelings are normal and ok, so don't get upset about it. You need to let them out and this is the place.

UmBongo · 15/05/2012 21:01

Don't worry about offloading onto us - tis what we are for FairyG You can have my vodka too.

Your brother is being a thoughtless twerp. But then sometimes brothers can be! He has probably forgotten your troubles in his excitement/terror! Avoid facebook.

I cried a lot too, don't worry about mixed up feelings - that is only to be expected. Rant away. Some pregnancies I learnt about in private so was able to arrange the facial features as required, and some I was taken by surprise by.

As Lemony said, rant away and a slap for apologising!

HalleLouja · 16/05/2012 14:00

I am just going to kick your brother in the balls FG. He is being a twunt.

Will also slap you for apologising. We are all still here hand holding and passing you the cheap cider.

Fairygodmother1 · 16/05/2012 19:24

Thank you so much girlies!!! I finally stoped crying at about half 1 this morning & went to work with very puffy eyes & said I had a bad cold. Did tell 2 friends at work & they totally sympathised (one has had 2 mc). so felt better then as I had managed to actually voice it (all be it wobbly voice but managed to pull myself together). Was very busy too so that helped.
DH met me from work. He has just cooked a delicious dinner & a bottle of wine [naughty] lol
Not heard from any of my family today & a few friends I thought would have been there for me are AWOL! oh well
Vodka & Wine washing down well!
(loving the word twunt Lou)

HalleLouja · 16/05/2012 19:51

We live your dh fg. He sounds ace. I live twunt too.

UmBongo · 17/05/2012 21:17

Well done for going into work FairyG and very well done for explaining to friends in rl. I hope your other friends have reappeared for cake/vodka and support. Brownie points to your dh for love and support and dinner.

I've got cheap chocolate off the market - help yourself.

UmBongo · 19/05/2012 22:07

Hope you are doing Ok Fairy, just to offer some more chocolate or Wine if you would prefer. I have pringles too if you want some.

HalleLouja · 22/05/2012 19:54

Mmmm.... pringles. I made some yummy ciabatta bread.

UmBongo · 22/05/2012 20:29

Home cooking - I think I may have forgotten what that is!
