April 2013 TTC girls, where we ALL get our babies!

[Ducky23]

We quickly ran out of room on the old thread so here's a shiny new one

Siarie that's how I feel, if baby needs the food as baby is poorly ff isn't bad at all and just doing what's right for baby :)

Lil it is an emotional and stressful time for you ATM. I think if anyone said boo to me when ds was that age I would cry! How do you plan on feeding tonight? Make sure you are happy with it and don't feel forced into doing anything!

Siarie, sounds like you had a hard time bf to start with too! I know when ds was in with jaundice it's v important to keep fluids up, so that point I didn't even get the option of bf, I wasn't planning too anyway.

Must be awful. I think so much pressure is put on people to ebf nowadays that it can drive people to the brink of insanity!!!

X post with lil and siarie!

Siarie, it's so good you feel that way! I do too now, although mil made me doubt myself to start with!
she's an epic bitch anyway

Cupcake, speak to your mw, mine said she could refer me for physio. I didn't go as I heard it's not always affective, and it would of caused more pain to get there! But it could work for you!

Oh and cupcake, I was offered physio quite late, it may be more affective if done earlier

Ducky I don't see my midwife till 24 weeks now, but I will mention it to her then. I had this with DS but it didn't start till right at the end. They click as well when I move I did stick a pillow between my legs last night which kinda helped a bit. I didn't have to roll over so much.

DS was also up most of the night again :( he fell asleep at 10am and woke at 12am! Then finally went to sleep at 3am!
I rele hope he starts sleeping better soon :( he's still asleep now which is nice but being pregnant I can't stay in bed as my bladder is going to pop!

Hope everyone is okay this morning :)

(DS has just woke up )

DS had just sat down to have his breakfast took a gulp from his milk and threw up everywhere lol poor DS, he's quite warm to the touch as well. Calpol it is today! And sofa day! Bless him :(

Cupcake, I think you should go to your doc about the SPD, don't wait until your mw appt. - the sooner you can go to a physio the better. I had pain in the front in my public bone and round my leg joints, is that where you've got it?
Sleeping with a pillow between my legs really helped. Also, when you have to stand up, sit down, roll over in bed etc the physio advised to engage your pelvic floor and lower abdominal muscles (and glutes I think) because it decreases the movement in your pelvis. I really hope it doesn't get too bad for you
Well I aimed to bf and top up with a ff lady night but DS fell asleep during each bf so he only had one bottle of formula. He doesn't seem to be bfing for as long as he did before during the night... Touch wood!

Oh poor ds cupcake yes give your midwife a call? She can maybe sort something out sooner.

Hope you had a better night last night then lil

Well, ds has a cold (AGAIN!), one of the ladies at the post natal group very kindly brought her baby in with a stinking cold so he's obvs caught that it sucks because he had bronch so early, every cold he gets now goes straight to his chest and he has to be watched to make sure he doesn't get anything worse

It is actually one thing after another in this house, if it's not ds it's the dog, if it's not the dog it's me

Oh tori that sounds like me but I couldn't even walk that far. I remember at around 35 weeks I was walking the dogs and I actually stood there and cried because I was in so much pain I went home and slept until the next day! obviously I got up 146437744 times to go to the toilet and change position but it really is awful isn't it!

Second what everyone else says about the SPD cupcake, the sooner you get a referral the better!

Sorry to hear about the BF issues lil. DS is a very efficient feeder - when he was born it was very painful to feed him as he sucked so hard, now I'm used to it it is much easier - he feeds for 10 minutes and then just goes to sleep. I was worried at first he wasn't getting enough but he has gained plenty of weight! I think people who have had babies like him forget how soul destroying it can be feeding for hours at night and baby still being hungry!

Also, about him crying and writhing, DS did this from about 2 to 6 weeks and he never had formula! Still happens occasionally now but much less so hopefully it is just a phase for you too.

We are just back from a week away visiting family. The first few nights we stayed in a hotel, and about 3am DD woke up to get into our bed and she was shaking like a leaf. I thought she'd had a nightmare but after 20 minutes and lots of cuddles she was still shaking. Phoned 101, who sent us to A & E, she had a temperature of over 40! They kept us in for 4 hours, DS was delighted to have so many people to play with for his 5 am feed!

Went back to the hotel with extra strong calpol once her temp was back down and by 3 pm she was fully recovered and asking to go to the park! Very scary though!

Oh bears! How scary! Do they know what it was?

Poor DD Bears! I'm glad she's better. I dread something like that happening to DS - I'm such a worrier and would probably totally panic in a situation like that!
I hope my DS's poorly tum is a phase. Maybe it's mild colic... I had it really badly when I was a baby and screamed for hours every evening but this isn't nearly that bad. He started doing it a bit earlier, so Ive put him on a cushion over my knee and he seems to feel better for it. The pressure in his tummy must help.
Oh Ducky, poor DS! You really do have bad luck I hope as the weather gets better all these nasty bugs go away. What was wrong with your dog?
Tori, I didn't know how bad your SPD was. I really feel for you, it's horrid
Cupcake, I forgot to say before how much I love the names you've chosen for your new DC! Oscar was on my shortlist too

I don't think it was a febrile convulsion, she was totally alert the whole time. Doctor just said a fever and to bring her back if she got dehydrated but she was fine!

Okay I'll give my doctors a call in the week and get an appointment :)

Oh no Ducky! :( poor DS, he seems to catch everyone's cold bless him. Hope he doesn't have it for long.

Oh gosh Bears! Ur poor DD! That would also have scared me. I'm glad she feels better tho, do they know what was wrong?

Tori that sounds awful, I bet u can't wait to get baby out!

Thanks Lill :) I love Oscar, it's so different lol :p I do hope ur DS's tummy sorts itself out soon.

I must have missed some posts! What's this about oscar?

A couple of weeks ago my dog went off his food which is very unlike him and he wouldn't stop being sick, he didn't eat for 3 days so I took him the vets (I left it that long incase it was just a stomach bug that would clear up), they gave him an antibiotic injection and an anti sickness one which cost bloody £70 and then he was fine for a day, the day after I came down to make ds night feed bottle and I noticed him looking a bit funny, I went over and he have a very deep big hole in his arm that was oozing pus I took him back to the vets and it turns out he had a blind abscess that had ruptured £50 later I had anti biotics and pain killers for him

Then he got loads better, then went off his food again, so more anti biotics, now it happening again so I have some more. It seems he's picking something up from somewhere that keeps coming back

I know cupcake it's because he had the bronch so young apparently he picks up things v easily and apparently it will keep happening until he is around 1 hope you get a quick referral for your spd!

DH and I have had a night away in a very luxurious hotel in the Northumberland countryside , without DS. DH arranged for PIL to come and look after DS and booked us into the hotel for a night.

It has been bliss. Peace, quiet, walks, lovely room with sitting room and beautiful bathroom and kingsize bed, views of the countryside, lovely meal last night, breakfast in bed this morning. DS has not missed us one scrap it seems- had a lovely time with grandma and grandad. DH is sooo in my goodbooks.

Aw Ducky ur poor doggy! :( bet that's awful for him. And very costly for u too!
And Oscar is my boys names I've chosen if I'm having a boy
Do u think its deffo spd I may have then? Can u get it this early? It aches down my leg as well just feels uncomfortable atm.

Oh Lulu how wonderful! Sounds like u had an Amazing night away! What a lovely and thoughtful DH u have! :) tell him well done from me! He certainly knows how to treat u Lulu :)

That's a lovely name cupcake with the spd I think you should speak to the mw, shel be in a better position to tell you if it is or not and what's best to help it

Lulu that sounds amazing! Glad you had a nice time! Any news on SIL and the house hunt?

Glad you had a nice night away Lulu
Cupcake I didn't see your post about your poor DS throwing up this morning! I hope he's better now. I have a bit of a phobia about vomit - I'll have to get over it now I'm a mum though! I don't mind atm because it's just milk but imagine sick and poo get much worse once baby's on solids
Sorry to hear your poor dog's been so poorly as well Ducky What kind if dog is he? I'd love one but don't think I could handle a baby and a dog!

DS has been much better this eve

I hope your dog is getting better Duckey. It is so worrying when pets are poorly. One of our cats is prone to temperatures that knock him for 6 and he has had lots of tests and they ruled anything nasty out. He just has to go nto fluids and antibiotics until it breaks. It hardly ever happens- once every 2-3 yrs but it is very upsetting. FX your dog is on the mend.

Cupcake, I know DH is a good 'un but I kissed lots of frogs before I found him and some of them were horrors. Mind, I treat him well too. He is a love at the moment- it was a treat because he got his job and just thought we deserved a bit of time to ourselves. I think PIL were just delighted to look after DS.

Yes Duckey, they have made an offer on a house and it has been accepted. So they are planning on a July/August move if it all goes well. The house they decided on is about 10 mins walk from us.
