April TTC girls! Where there's a new baby! Tons of BFP's! And lots more to come!

[Cupcake92]

New thread girlies!! :) hope this is okay.

It's a massive relief! Just hope he likes the milk!

Ducky im so pleased the consultant realised what was wrong! :) and I'm sure DS will like the milk, especially when he realises it doesn't upset his tummy :)

I'm exhausted today. DS has been a nightmare all day :( ive finally say down whilst he watches in the night garden :)

It smells awful!! But you can already see a small improvement in him. But the consultant said it will take up to 2 weeks to get him back to normal.

I feel like today for the first time I was properly listened too

Hope ds settles for you cupcake! This is probably a silly question and I think I know the answer but when he's up all night does he sleep any better the night after?

Glad they listened! :)
And Ducky it all depends rele lol sometimes he goes a couple of nights waking up but that's usually if he's I'll or too cold or something outside keeps waking him. Normally tho, the next night he sleeps through :)

Saying that tho he's still awake now being very difficult and not the least bit tired playing his little keyboard!

Hello everyone. Very glad to hear you have a proper answer Ducky. Onwards and upwards now. You must feel relieved.

DS has been awake most of the day Just a couple of little naps. We are trying to keep him awake now in the hope he will then have a feed and sleep soundly tonight. He is a little tinker.

Hope DS has settled Cupcake. I am now wondering what this will be like in a year's time when my DS can trot round and be wide awake.

DH is really tired tonight. It is freezing up here. Sleety.

Oo I hope DS sldeps well tonight for u Lulu !my DS went to bed and has just woken up as he's had a nightmare he was screaming and I ran up to him and ha was shaking bless him :( he's lay in bed with me atm weirdly picking at his eye lashes

Well DS is having his feed now. He is with DH. I said I will see to him during the night because DH is just shattered. He really needs some uninterrupted sleep tonight.

No bleeding today but I am wary of not using the pads incase it starts again. How long do you think I should wait before I can be sure it has stopped?

Sairie, it was never really awful-it was like a heavy period- well, heavy for me. That lasted about 10 days and it has just trailed off for a few days and now stopped.

DH says the big pants are very sexy They were full size, up to my waist. I am back in my lacy shorts today and just a small pad. Feel a bit more normal and my stomach is shrinking but I still get cramping pains sometimes. I don't feel like my insides are going to fall out anymore though.

I hope everyone's dc slept well! Mine didn't, he was straining and crying all night then at 6am had the mother of all poos!

Lulu mine stopped for 2/3 days then started again with a vengeance!

Mine was v v v heavy siarie, it might have been due to the episiotomy tho. I was wearing 2 thick maternity towels on top of each other and was soaking through them both in about 30 mins

Mother of all poos, he's having a clear out Ducky!

Just woken up my little girl with a bit of music this morning, she was having a nap I think as I hadn't felt a strong kick yet just little ones. Soon as I woke her up she's now punching like a pro.

Aww well I think I'll be a heavy one, if my AF was anything to go by. Although that said I went on the pill so I didn't have AF for years, my only AF off the pill was much lighter and shorter.

Wow lulu! I've never worn a pair of full sized pants, ever. Lulu are you breastfeeding or bottle?

Also while I'm here I'll just throw it out there that cupcakes DS is adorable, even more so on the videos lol! He's so so cute. I hope that my second is a boy, looks like a totally different experience to a girl although I wanted a girl first.

Siarie I was the same on the pill! With dd I bled lightly for about a week but everyone kept telling me 'nature is kinder after a stillbirth' so I just assumed the same would happen with ds... My god was I wrong! He's 6 weeks on Monday and I only stopped the other day he's worth it

Lulu is bottle feeding, I know as she was the one to mention the perfect prep machine which is AMAZING! I love it.

Are you planning to breast feed or bottle feed?

Anyone bottle feeding I would really really reccomend the perfect prep and it's usually on offer somewhere for £50-£60

I'm planning to bottle feed, I've got the perfect prep machine (I mentioned it :P but I'll forgive you) unless Lulu mentioned it a while back on a previous thread?

Lulu did mention she had one though but I forgot until now, baby brain is weird! I was wondering if she was breast feeding as they tend to bring on cramps don't they?

Were going to bottle feed, I was going to breast feed but I have thyroid issues and I really don't want to stress my system out with trying to produce milk. I won't know how much she's drinking and the thyroid problems can hinder flow. So I've just caved and accepted it really, If I was really up for it then maybe I would push through and try but It doesn't really matter to me either way on a personal level.

In fact I do wonder if maybe me and Lulu type I'm a similar way as sometimes I do see people reply to my posts directed to Lulu lol!

My old screen name used to be Lulu too, it's an odd world.

Sorry siarie! I'm so tired my brain isn't working properly!
I went shopping earlier, paid for my stuff and walked away without it
Luckily a lot of the staff in the shop know me so they held it until I remembered haha

Don't worry it's hard to keep track of everything, certainly posts online is way out there on the top priority. I went out yesterday to pick up some things I needed to make dinner this evening, bought a bunch of stuff I didn't need and forgot the one item I did.

I swear my memory is just shocking at the moment, I guess once pregnancy is done with then I've got tiredness memory loss to look forward to

I hate to add that once I got to the shops I realised I was wearing my slippers luckily they aren't obviously slippers haha!

Yep you will never have a fully functioning brain again

Everyone probably sleeps better than me tho as they will nap during the day but I just can never do that! I don't know why! My body doesn't let me!

I napped with DD1 but couldn't with dd2 just couldn't sleep in the day

I still have memory loss someone will explain something to me and then completely forget what they say as soon as they walk away!
And thanks Siarie! :) DS looks cute but he's a devil in disguise! Can be lovely and so loving one day to playing up at almost everything the next day. I wouldn't change a thing about him tho :) I love him so so much! My iccle angel! :)

Ducky I'm like u! Can never nap in the day, don't know why but I just can't as I always think I should be doing something else.

I've had such a busy day at work today! And to top it off my handbrake on my car has seized up! Thankfully as its new and its under warranty it's being fixed for free on Monday. But how annoying aye!

Oh memory loss. I do the describing of the object because I can't remember anything at the moment. For example to DH ' Pass me the........the thing you tip pasta into to drain the water. It's round with holes in'. DH passes the sieve.

I am bottlefeeding Siarie. My maternity pants were huge I am not missing them.

Ducky- is DS any better by the end of today?

Yes, we got good sleep last night.DS fed about 11. Woke just before 3, was asleep again by 20 past and slept until half 7 this morning. It was bliss. He is doing 4 hours between feeds quite often now.

He is a very easy going baby but does have a pet lip which appears if he does not like something. But I can hoover round him and dry my hair and he is fine with that- he sleeps through the hoover.

We have walked into the village and done some shopping this afternoon and stopped for a coffee. He was as good as gold. DH's paternity leave started tonight so he will be home for two weeks upsetting our routine no doubt

We might go down to PIL for a couple of days in the second week. It does not seem too daunting.

Wow Lulu DS slept well! :) good on him. And maybe a few days at PIL would be nice! :)

My nose keeps bleeding! Every time I blow it! It's very annoying

That's how I feel cupcake

He's loads better! It's almost like I have my baby back! He still has a bit of tummy ache and is straining and sometimes crying a bit but nothing like before

Bet it will be nice tho to have him at home with you lulu

I am looking forward to having him at home really. DS has changed so much already and it will be lovely for him to spend time with him without being tired at the end of a day when he sees him. DS is much more alert now and interested in things. Sometimes, I think he might almost smile but I am not sure.
DH is so good with him and DS definitely responds to him. They have been in the bath together tonight.

Talking about poor memory, I wanted to get 4 things in the village today. I came back with 6 but only 2 were what I went for.

I have had my hair cut very short again like in the summer. It feels much nicer short.

It is freezing and sleety again here tonight. Hope it is better weather tomorrow.

Ducky it's so good DS is feeling loads better! :) glad u kept pushing the doctors!

Lulu I bet it'll be nice spending some time together for a few weeks :) and I bet ur hair looks lovely! I get mine done next week not sure what to do with it tho!

Ducky, sounds like DS is sorted and well on the mend. That is great, you must be very relieved.

After his breakfast DS dozed off and DH and I have had 2 hours in bed together where we could have a kiss and cuddle and a chat and it was so nice. DS is awake now and lying on the bed while DH entertains him.

It is nicer weather and we are going to go to the country park and nature reserve up the coast and do a walk on a path that goes along the back of the dunes,through the reed beds and past the ponds where all the birds winter. It should be lovely- if we time it properly! If not we could have a screaming baby and two stressed parents.

Have a good day everyone.
